If you write content for your blog and syndicate to other blogs as well I would suggest that you do all that you can do to ensure that your articles don’t run on two separate blogs on the same day. I subscribe to a lot of RSS feeds and you’ll likely have your content read by many people on each blog. If they appear on the same day then you’ll lose effectiveness.
A recent example from a writer that I admire can serve as the example. Janet Meiners writes for Marketing Pilgrim, one of my favorite blogs. Today, she wrote a dynamite article about PRLeap ending its free press release policy. The same article ran on WebProNews. I read the first one I came to, but I didn’t read the other. Why bother?
I am not alone. The same article on two blogs in the same industry on the same day will result in one of them not getting noticed. But I’m assuming that since you write a blog that you want people to read it. Do everything you can to entice them to do so.
Hi Nick,
Thanks for the link & kind words. I agree, there is too much duplication.
