RE: Interview with Steemit's CEO and Co-founder Ned Scott
When I read the headline "Steemit - Interview with it`s CEO and Co-founder Ned Scott"
I initially thought there was a company named "It's" somewhere. These new tech companies always have these simplistic names these days.
Perhaps the heading could be changed to:
"Interview with Steemit's CEO and Co-founder Ned Scott"
Done :)
Oh no! You just copy and pasted a link and the article (as poorly written as it is on the other website).
This is not unique content. :(
Google will scan the web, and the first instance it sees content, it remembers where it saw it. Duplicate content is penalized.
Don't take my word for it, there is plenty of resources out there that talk about it, like this video from Matt Cutts, former employee of Google:
I really don't want to see authors using steemit just to recycle their material just to earn steem. Either post it here first (best choice), or if you make more money posting it elsewhere, then "reference" it here and make a commentary that talks about the article, and whats in the article, without actually copy/pasting the exact same content from the article.
I am the owner of this content, check at the bottom of this article, you will see it is written by thirdstryker
I see that now. So if I go to my blog, and just copy/paste all my articles I've written over the last 3 or 4 years, that should be fine too? I'm wondering if Google won't care if we just duplicate content all over the web?
I don't see the issue no. In fact, this article was posted on here a week ago by someone unrelated to CORE Media. They raised over $1000 off our content without our permission.
As long as you own the content, and people are willing to upvote. I don't see any problem.
Go ahead - it's been done by others and not at all frowned upon.
The link is not automatically marked as canonical, I guess steemit would introduce something to please google if necessary. So far, they treat this site pretty well. I guess the relation of unique/duplicate content matters too. Or google downrates the blog - it's up to you to set the canonical rel then.
