Can I post my same article on Web 2.0?

I agree, it's like how the same press release shows up on different sites and still show up in the serps.

Ok, that's kind of what I was thinking...so that would kind of eliminate my Tier 1...correct?

That's just flat out wrong. But once again, a "clue" as to why so
many here fail.

It's common practice across the board, big sites, little sites, and
in-between use the same stuff.

But you need to read the rules of certain web 2.0 stuff. Squidoo
for example. They are putting emphasis on "unique."

It is indeed why if you do a news search, you get the same
exact article showing on the top 10 sites and beyond.

Seriously. Everything from FB to twitter, is asking people to
share....the same stuff...

Yes i also agree with this.

And by doing that as one of my backlink technique, will I get link juice from the page rank of the site?

You could do it, but it is not recommended. It is better to rewrite each post and submit it to a different website. This will increase your chances of getting indexed by the search engines and attracting genuine readers.

Where to start?

First off, duplicate content is the same content on one domain, not across different domains. You don't see news outlets carrying the same article banned by Google, do you?

Secondly, if you spin or rewrite the article for different web 2.0 sites, then you are giving first indexation rights to those sites and not your own. Why would you want to do that?

You should always post your articles to your site first, then once they are indexed, submit them to different sites. You should always make sure those articles point back to your landing page or somewhere else on your site and not to the same article, however.

And that's just a start...

I agree with Terra.

Good quality article indexed, then send in the repetition.

Really?

Can you provide that proof?

If I may be so bold as to say, many successful marketers have one article first posted to their own site, then posted on a few web 2.0 sites, then picked up for syndication on many other sites and Google does not penalize for duplicate content as it is syndicated content, not duplicate.

To have your article syndicated on authority sites is a good thing as it brings targeted traffic to your site and converts better than random search engine traffic as well as being a recommendation from the site owner that syndicated your article. They are in essence telling their own readers that you are considered an authority as well.

I just don't understand why people would give the first indexation rights to some other site than their own by posting original articles there first, before their own site, or not on their own site at all? What possible benefits do they believe they are getting other than avoiding a duplicate content penalty which is nothing but a wide spread myth? :confused:
