Convert your blog posts into articles and submit them to article directories.
After reading that post, a reader who calls himself stocktube asked a very good question.
“Does it still work? I read from somewhere that google might penalise or give lower weightage for duplicate contenta_?”
The question warrants an answer.
1. Google does not penalize duplicate content. It just hides it. If 2 websites have the same content, ita_Tll just show one of the websites in its search results.
2. When your blog is not so famous, Google won’t rank it high on the search results as it is.
3. But if you syndicate your post and add it to ezinearticles.com - your article has a good chance to show up on Google search (because ezinearticles.com is already highly ranked).
4. And that article on ezinearticles.com can drive traffic to your blog and making it more famous.
Action Summary:
- Convert your blog posts into articles and syndicate them when your blog is not so highly ranked on Google.
- Drop the technique over time when your site grows and more people start linking to it and its search engine rankings improve.

Ya I totall agree with you on article syndication. There is a lot of myth about Google penlizing etc. That probbaly apples to mirror-sites and not to duplicate articles. I definitely got my blog up and running by submitting my posts i directories such as goarticles.com. I never even submitted my site to Google for indexing, just syndication got that done as well. So definitely go fr t guys. and yea THANKS for a great post again.
