Want to Add Already Distributed Content to My Internal Blog

[CommercePundit]

I want to add already distributed content to my internal blog. I have very useful articles on different topics which I have submitted to different article directories.

Yesterday, I have started my internal blog and want to add all content which I have submitted to different external websites.

So, Can I do it or not? I have confusion about duplication between my site and external websites.

Hi CP,

The fact is, that I wouldn't republish those articles that were already published to article directories. There are a lot of content scrappers which use these article directories. and you don't want to publish articles that have been copied many-many times.

This is only my opinion. Start building up new content, Query Deserves Freshness will just love it

Good luck!

Search engines will look at the timestaps to determine where the content has orginated. So best to start from scratch or use similar topics.

I would not publish these duplicates if my site was weaker than other sites where they will be published.  From what I have  seen the strongest domains with these articles will display in the SERPs.  Weaker domains will be filtered.  I don't believe that timestamp or original source is very important. Plus, if you have a lot of dupe content rankings across your domain could be reduced.

EGOL,

Good to know, That's interesting to know about filtering of weaker domains. I have very big question in my mind. I have given too much efforts to create these contents for distribution in external websites. Now, I have internal platform to share my content or knowledge associated to products for my buyers.

Because, this will give me good benefits rather than external websites. I am not focusing about external links. I am selling patio umbrellas and have 20+ How to, DIY or related content which may helpful to my buyers.

So, I have big question about my organic performance which is associated to products level. Google will find out duplication due to my blog section. That's for sure. But, will it create negative impact to my organic ranking which is associated to product level pages or categories?
