Duplicate content

It will only post once but be listed under each category that you tag.

shadow, you recently closed a thread i ‘duplicated’ ..
i actually renamed the thread, added only the most pertinent information form the prior thread and changed the ‘room’ from templates to ‘help & how -to’ as i felt this was more appropriate and i had received NO replies in the the other.

if you need to do that then i’d really apreciate your looking at the question as well, and offering some advice. or is it just a stupid question?

thanks for your time and interest.

Sorry, I did miss the fact it was not verbatim. It is open again now.

thanks ??

vad111 – Good question.

shadow – Your answer does not match the question.

The question is not about posting in multiple categories within one blog, the question is:

Can we publish an article on a blog and then submit it to article directories – or will search engines call that duplicate content and thus ignore all/some of the copies?

And: If the search engine does keep one of the duplicate items in its database, will it keep the original one or the most recent one or is this unknown?

(Also: Would the original blog get ‘penalized’? How?)

Anybody?
Thanks.

@imagiscapeca,

and I don’t see why this whole thread is posted here in the WP technical support when it has nothing to do with WordPress. Ask it in a forum maintaned by those who would ‘penalize’ you or your blog.

imagiscapeca, thanks!!!

Moshu,
I posted this question here as didn’t find clear answer on other forums! There is confusion regarding this question.
Sorry if it is a wrong place to place it
