Hi Duncan, great points around why I should be less concerned about my syndicated content then I am currently. In fact, based upon the value of syndicated links and the potential for my content landing on a higher PR site then my own really makes sense.

I wonder how effective blog syndication tools such as blogexplosion and blogcatelog really are? Does anyone have any experience using these tools?

This is one of the reasons why I submit or write content for AssociatedContent and Helium, but now just recently started submitting a few articles to EzineArticles.com to expand my content online and help bring in more readers even if it causes duplicate content.

Good. You have described pros and cons efficiently. But personal experience says that syndicating content on articles website is beneficial if and only if you have provided backlink to the source page of your own website. Because in this way people can way to your blogs.

Yeah, it’s always a pain when you’re scraped without attribution or working links. What’s worse is when they also scrape the comment section too – that’s just overkill.

I don’t mind all scraping because it does help build some backlinks but I’m quick to email the website owner if their website comes across as too spammy.

Unfortunately, a lot of scrapers remove or alter the links. They take your name off the article so there is no link back to you at all. I’ve had some sites that just grab the first paragraph or so of an article and that’s it — no links to the rest of the article, no attribution, nothing. I’m not even sure why they want to do that.

The other thing to keep in mind is that Google doesn’t “deindex” you. You’re just filtered into the “X similar results” section that most people don’t look at. And you aren’t guaranteed that Google will show your post over the scrapers — at least not yet.

I’ve found that some scrapers are willing to fix things (like proper links, attribution and keeping the text as written) if you manage to track them down. So far, I’ve only had to make a copyright infringement report once and the ISP took the entire scraper site down rather than just the post (I guess that’s easier for them).

Very interesting take on this. I don’t worry to much about getting scraped cause if you are placing links in your content they get scraped too and as you said these can make some very powerful links.

I always thought that Google knows the original source of content (the site where it appeared first) so I don’t think that you can get deindexed if you post the content first on your blog.

The only benefits I can derive from one stealing my content is if the stolen content contains links back to my site. That way I get a free backlink or backlinks
Google seems to be getting wiser in detecting duplicate content though.

I get all confused with how SEO really works. Many SEO experts have different take about this topic. Yes this one about duplicate content especially. Some say submitting duplicate content to directories won’t get your site indexed, and that every single one of your articles should be unique and should have good content for it to serve it’s purpose then now there are potential benefits from duplicate content? Don’t get me wrong. I’m not in any way against the idea. I think Duncan has pointed out quite a few valid points.
