Does .wordpress sites accept duplicate content

Hello Warriors,

I am intending to have multiple .wordpress.com sites to be used solely for backlinking to my main blog.

I am intending to post the same article on all the sites. Will these count as backlinks or is it unallowed to do this?

    As soon as Wordpress.com see them (eg if a competitor ever reports them), if they think your links to your blog are "for financial/commercial motives", they'll just delete all your blogs. I think you'd be well advised to read the terms of service carefully, before worrying about so-called "duplicate content".

    • I didn't know that. Do they really delete your blogs containing duplicate content, even if that content is taken from one of your another blogs?

  • Well, no it doesn't matter if you post duplicate content in your WordPress hosted blogs. But, if you are using auto-blogging, you might get your account suspended.
  • Actually, according to my experience, people ask questions here because they are lazy to read the TOS on websites whose services they are using.

    I am all for learning but I prefer to learn from the source not from misinformed forum posters. The problem with asking questions in a public forum is: unless you spent quite a long time around here you never know whom to believe/trust. On the other hand, there are people that are not able to ask a normal question... which results in having eager members answering to questions that haven't been asked.

    The lessons?
    Always read the TOS
    Never reply with guessed answers

    • Yep, thumbs up for that.

      Even I don't believe in guessed replies.

      And one more thing I don't believe in...being rude and when somebody asks me, "What is a blog?", I don't reply, "Go Google it".

      In a public forum, I guess it is always best to share as much as you know to be refuted, argued and disproved by other learned members.

      That's how it works actually.


    • Yes, exactly. I have a friend who has spent the last few years (part time) creating a community site, sort of a Facebook for a specific demographic. We were talking about some additions he was making, some of which seemed to me likely to violate TOS.

      I told him he needed to read them and it was as though I had asked him to spend 2,000 hours reading the U.S. tax code. It was clear to me by his reaction that it was never going to happen.

      The more I learn the less I understand.
