How Google judge about duplicate content?

[EG0CENTRIX]

With recent Search engines updates one thing is clear we cannot ignore content. Content marketing definitely going to be most important part of our SEO strategy.

I have few doubts about content marketing (circulation of content over web) where I want suggestions of community members. There would be different thoughts so I would like to have as many as responses to know what majority thinks:

1. When we are writing guest posts, does article needs to be unique with each and every blog we are writing or we can safely circulate one good piece of content to 10-15 blogs who are interested in our creative.

2. We have written a good blog post for our own domain. Apart from social sharing should it be posted to other related blogs too or it should be unique  to our domain only.

3. Social sharing, mentions, like of blog matters in rankings?Seems yes they do but need to know what majority thinks.

4. Finally what is the safe number to circulate your content over web.

You are only penalized when you have duplicate content that resides on your website.  For example if you have  blog post on your website and that same post exists on another website. ..........that is duplicate content and you could be penalized.

If you are guest posting and using the same content for each one the owner of the website that you are posting on needs to be concerned with that.  It's a good idea for a website owner to run content through copyscape before agreeing to post it on their website.

So it means,

Point one: Of course you should not submit same content to blogs you are guest blogging as it could harm them and ultimately your efforts would also lost.

Point 2: Your blog content need to be strictly unique as they are in your domain, you should not use that kind of content for other purpose.

What do you think about article submissions. Some agencies i know say its safe to submit one article to 25 -30 article sites and it helps in SEO.What do you suggest?

Some agencies use article syndication to get links back to your website.

There are many schools of thought on article syndication. As long as you don't have a copy of that article on your site you should be safe however I have read recently that the technique is a waste of time these days.

Good article on article syndication vs duplicate content

This is called spinning content and Google does not like it

Google will take the first indexed article and give it the original credit, anything that is syndicated after that should give the original piece credit by tracking back to it, otherwise Googles Panda update might pick up these tactics.

I think the problem with the old way of thinking (not very old but a few month of recent updates) is to build links from sites, this can be good if done right. However why give your articles to other sites? why not create great articles on your site and get other sites to link to it. If the article is very good content why would you give it away? If the article is not great content it's not going to help the site, the user, more importantly your conversions. The ROI on a worthless article is waisted time.
