Same article published 3 times--do we still benefit from the links?

Hi,

A reporter recently mentioned us in a leading publication, and that article was picked up by two other big publications.

Do we benefit from all three links, or do we only benefit from the link once since it is the same article?

Yes you will get the links, but they will have little value, Search engines will only give value to t6he original, they others will be seen as eduplicate and have little value

I would kindly disagree, if the article is on a major publication and an editor manually included it there, it has tremendous link value. The only time these articles don't have much value is when the major media sites add these articles through some automated process, like automatically adding press releases based on certain keywords in them. Google could easily detect the difference between the two.

It may be true that a devalued page on a high quality site may have more value than a develaued site on a low quaility site. but only one copy of duplicate contnet will not be devalued. i have not seen anything from google to sugest anything different. nothing about high value sites or manual or auto posting.
