SEO Link building / Article Distributation

[revsystems.com]

Quick question in regards to link building and OFF PAGE SEO...

Why isn't Articles distributation via wire services considered a "Duplicate Content" issue by Google?

i.e.  If take the one article and post it accross 50 (do follow) websites, Press release sites, and blogs.

I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this.

Regard,

Sammy

Hi there,

If you are referring to Press Release information which you submit to online services, they are not an issue for you because they should not be on your site.

The intent of a press release should be to put your product or business in front of journalists etc who are likely to take the information and write a good quality unique article that talks about you.

A press release should be carefully constructed to increase the chance of having it picked up, so if you used the exact same content on your site it would not be likely to inspire visitors to convert. If you want some ideas on how to write releases, do a quick search for "how to write an online press release". Most of the services provide guidelines on their sites too.

As long as the information on your site is unique then any duplicate problem is only an issue for the sites your release is listed on and not for you.

That's a good question. I don't know how any of you other pros out there handle article marketing but I switch it up a little. I use different anchor text for each submission..

I never really thought about it like this. Good question Sammy! I'm interested in seeing what other people here have to say.
