SEO - Positives or Negatives to re-post an article on multiple article sites?...

[Jshine]

Hi,

If I host a blog as a sub-page on my website (i.e. by the means of the WordPress Ad-on), and I re-post one of my blog articles on other article websites (because my article links to my site); will this be beneficial or bad in terms of SEO for my website?

The reason I could see it being bad SEO is because wouldn't Google see it as duplicate content on two different websites?

Although, I know a lot of people try this approach because they believe it gets them multiple links to their site.

So plain and simply, is it good or bad SEO practice for my website, to re-post an article from my blog on other article websites?

Thanks,

I will give you bad news. It is a bad thing. It doesn't matter how you do, it Google sees this sort of action as steeling.
If you will have only two copies i don't think things will be to harsh but its better to be safe. Try to change some things to not be a perfect copy and paste action
