Default A Posterous Question

There is so much talk about duplicate content. If I post to my blog by posterous and same content is on my posterous blog, is this duplicate content or am I missing something or does it matter.

Default Same Question!!

Glad I searched first as I want to know the same thing. Just seems to go against everything you here about posting duplicate content.

I think I will avoid it for at least posting to my main site and my more important/trusted blogs


Also apart from sending videos and tracking and doing it by email is there any difference between using this and ping.fm (which I do not think posts a copy of what you are sending out)

When you're writing articles for article directories then those all need to be original content. Likewise, when you're creating your Squidoo Lens and Hub Pages, that all needs to be original content.

But when it comes to "sharing" content that you find on Google Reader, then that stuff is posting to your blog and while it is true that it will be duplicate content, because your blog is also full of original content, the "duplicate content" deal isn't a real problem. It becomes a problem if/when your "main ranking vehicle" is essentially all "shared" content.

Smile Add Noindex so google ignored Posterous Duplicate Content

I found the solution for not getting penalized for Duplicate content while still using Posterous.

Option 1:
---------
Basically edit your Posterous theme and add:
<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex, follow”>
in the <head> section.


instructions found on:
Don’t let Posterous ruin your blog’s SEO | Vertical Leap Blog


Option 2:
---------
Google now does canonical tags for cross domain legitimate Duplication:
Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Handling legitimate cross-domain content duplication

Haven't tried option 2 yet.

i use this on iPhone Tutorial Videos as I found if I don't use Posterous, i just don't post often enough...
