What are the effects of posting on a blog site using copied content from your site if you source the site on the blog site?

I have noticed that some of my pages from my site are posted to different blog sites and directory submissions they are word for word what is on my site but at the bottom of the page it does list my site as the source and there are links in the text back to my site.

Is this going to negatively effect my rankings or is it ok since my site is sourced in the article?

There definitely can be a issue with you ranking for the content you wrote. Basically if your site has a DA and PR that's worse than those other sites those other site will probably get the traffic you're trying to get. However if this is done many times and you're getting links back your link profile is getting built up and in return your site is bearing more weight.There's also the duplicate content issue which I don't think is a big deal if it's on another domain. There are  just too many little nuisances that need to be looked at before making bold claims about the effects of what you laid out above.

DA is a Moz measuring tool, which isn't used by Google. It is just an indication that the site will rank well (if it's high), or may have difficulty (if its low). PR is somewhat outdated, but is at least something google either still uses or used to use in their ranking algorithm.

What google looks at when determining which content is original is which one they find first. To make sure yours is found first use Google+ to share your new pages or twitter to tweet the links. Facebook can also be used for this purpose.

Best of luck,
