      I asked this question a couple of days ago. Would be great if anyone has some good insight:

      I write content on my site, which I immediately share across Twitter, FB and Google+. Will Google view me as active on social media with this onsite content I distribute across social media sites (basically creating duplicate info across social media, which already is on my site) or will I be seen as less active on social media since I do not write original content on the social media sites, but rather use content from my site and distribute across social media.

        If your goal is to "get a message out" then put your content up anywhere that you can.

        If your goal is to make money from a website then you need a different plan.  Not saying what that plan should be because I don't know your goals.

          As far as I know, there is no penalty from Google o share the content time n again on social media. Also, if you share your content on social media, its a good thing as its seen as sending good overall social signals to Google though it is NOT a ranking factor. Many people tweet the same stuff again n again to get more followers.

            _Yeah it is perfectly fine sharing great content in social channel. And there is no as such need to rewrite them as to make them appear unique. Search Engines are well aware of this and it is perfectly natural. And it will not be considered as active unless the post starts getting Likes, Shares, Tweets, Retweets, Google Pluses from other members. _

              Active on social media is interaction to me so if the content you distribute on social media sites creates buzz and people started interaction with you... You are active! It’s simple is that!

              Will Google find it active or not is a different debate... may be Google+ interaction will be considered as more important as compare to others but this is not conform till yet!
