          I see some PR (press release) sites where they distribute the same content on many different sites and at end they give the source link is that Good SEO Practice or Bad ?

          If it is Good Practice then how Google Panda or other algorithms consider it ?

            Submitting the same press release content to multiple Press Release Submission sites is generally considered a bad practice. Duplicate content can negatively impact search engine optimization (SEO), leading to potential ranking penalties. Moreover, it diminishes the uniqueness and effectiveness of your message across platforms. 700+ Free Press Release Submission sites may also have terms of service against duplicate submissions, risking account suspension or removal. It's advisable to tailor your releases for each platform to maximize impact and avoid potential repercussions.

                Hi Tymen Boon,

                Thanks once again for answering !!

                I agree with you that prnewswire has good PA, DA even low spam score .

                As you said in your previous reply that we can post on High authority sites. In case, I post a PR content on the same let say prnewswire which is a paid PR site and has more than 100 PR media network (Good+Bad)

                Good PA, Good DA, Lower Alexa, Lower Spam score prnewswire overall looks best.

                Now, this site distribute my content on 30-40 other sites with same content with source link. Now any time Google Panda updates and the whole network got hit badly as well as prnewswire. then is it effect my site indirectly or directly or not?

                Thanks !!

                  Hi Karan,

                  If you check it on MOZ OSE:

                  https://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/researchtools/ose/links?site=prnewswire.com&filter=&source=external&target=page&group=0&page=1&sort=page_authority&anchor_id=&anchor_type=&anchor_text=&from_site=

                  The site looks ok so. The traffic they have is not very relevant in this case as you only do it for the link. I have multiple business listings on press sites and business review sites like Yelp. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" i presume.

                  Good luck with all!

                  Tymen

                    Hi Tymen Boon,

                    Thanks for your reply !!

                    As you said that I should post the content on my site first then I can post it on High PA/DA & lower Spam score PR sites with my site's source link.

                    If we see in case of most popular PR site prnewswire.com it distribute same content on multiple sites more than 30 with its source link at bottom of each PR site . In 2014 Panda 4.0 hit prnewswire badly as given in this report http://searchengineland.com/google-panda-4-0-go-press-release-sites-192789.

                    In this case what will you say? Thanks !!

                      Hi Karan,

                      With Press Releases this is always the case. In my opinion it is good as long as you put the content on your own site first. In the press release you than link to this source as you mention. I would advise to look at the link quality (spamscore and DA) of the press sites you want to send it to. It is better to have a couple very good links than a lot of low quality free publicity links.

                      Good luck!

                      Tymen

                        Are "Powered By..." type footer backlinks good or bad for SEO?

                        Hi guys, We're running a software company which is also selling WP themes amongst other things. We've heard recently that footer backlinks like "Powered by BigBangThemes" might do more harm than good. Some clients usually forget to change them - so we want to make sure we stop including them in case this is true. Thanks!

                        Hi, If the "content" is the same, but is written in different languages, will Google see the articles as duplicate content?
                        If google won't see it as duplicate content. What is the profit of implementing the alternate lang tag?Kind regards,Jeroen

                        Splitting One Site Into Two Sites Best Practices Needed

                        Okay, working with a large site that, for business reasons beyond organic search, wants to split an existing site in two. So, the old domain name stays and a new one is born with some of the content from the old site, along with some new content of its own. The general idea, for more than just search reasons, is that it makes both the old site and new sites more purely about their respective subject matter.  The existing content on the old site that is becoming part of the new site will be 301'd to the new site's domain. So, the old site will have a lot of 301s and links to the new site. No links coming back from the new site to the old site anticipated at this time. Would like any and all insights into any potential pitfalls and best practices for this to come off as well as it can under the circumstances. For instance, should all those links from the old site to the new site be nofollowed, kind of like a non-editorial link to an affiliate or advertiser? Is there weirdness for Google in 301ing to a new domain from some, but not all, content of the old site. Would you individually submit requests to remove from index for the hundreds and hundreds of old site pages moving to the new site or just figure that the 301 will eventually take care of that? Is there substantial organic search risk of any kind to the old site, beyond the obvious of just not having those pages to produce any more? Anything else? Any ideas about how long the new site can expect to wander the wilderness of no organic search traffic? The old site has a 45 domain authority. Thanks!

                        Is tabbed content bad for SEO?

                        I work for a Theater show listings and ticketing website. In our show listings pages (e.g. http://www.theatermania.com/broadway/this-is-our-youth_302998/) we split our content into separate tabs (overview, pricing and show dates, cast, and video). Are we shooting ourselves in the foot by separating the content? Are we better served with keeping it all in a single page? Thanks so much!

                        Duplicate content on ecommerce sites

                        duplicate content

                        I just want to confirm something about duplicate content. On an eCommerce site, if the meta-titles, meta-descriptions and product descriptions are all unique, yet a big chunk at the bottom (featuring "why buy with us" etc) is copied across all product pages, would each page be penalised, or not indexed, for duplicate content? Does the whole page need to be a duplicate to be worried about this, or would this large chunk of text, bigger than the product description, have an effect on the page. If this would be a problem, what are some ways around it? Because the content is quite powerful, and is relavent to all products... Cheers,
