This is all very interesting. I started to utilize article marketing the last half of 2008 and do incorporate links. I do my best to adhere to the different guidelines such as no “promoting your website within your article.”

I usually take a blog post and re-post it with a few tweaks here and there. I guess I have more to learn about back links and SEO.

Hello,
I’m author of software product and I’m interested about what will happened with the description of this product on my site? The same product description will be sent to thousands download-portals (Download.com, Simtel.Net, Softpedia…) via the PAD file.
Does this will affect my site? And how?

After reading this I don’t think I would ever want to syndicate my content. It doesn’t make sense to syndicate your content only have have a more authoritative site outrank you with your own content. Even if you have a link back to your site and the original source who says they will click on the link? I would rather just rank for the content myself and have the visitor originally on my site. This just makes much more sense to me.

Thanks for the great article and also your comment Andy.. was referred here by one of Matt’s posts. Just started a cartoon blog recently and was really hacked off that my entire feed was being republished by a few guys within the first 10 days of the site being launched.

I include links back to my original posts in the articles I write and the cartoon thumbnail also links back to original post for the full version of the toon. Not sure how long these changes take to reflect in google but it’s been a month already and it seems the guys syndicating my content are still ranked higher and more frequently than I am I have also tried writing to the syndicators as suggested above with no response.. any ideas as to what I should do or do I just need to be patient?

Vanessa, I concur that this is a great post. I am curious to hear your feedback on posting videos to multiple sites. We have posted certain videos on several sharing sites (Youtube, Metacafe, etc) to give our products broader exposure. Do you know if Google or the others penalize a site for such “duplicate content?”

We upload the files in FLV or WMV format, and tag each upload with the same key words using http://www.tubemogul.com. Most of the sites we upload to don’t offer a permalink backtrack that I’ve been able to find.

I’ve not been able to find any commentary on this issue of “duplicate content” where video is the issue. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Vanessa,

Thanks for this article. Definitely provides me some good ideas–and lessens my worries about getting dinged for duplicate content in a way that will hurt my site.

About the links in the body of the articles, it sounds like a great idea (and I will begin to do this)–but a bit of a bother too.
