QUESTION: Reposting my steemit articles on my personal blog, is it frowned upon?
This doubt came to me reading about Project Curie and the RobinHoodWhale initiative. I assume their goal checking the whole Internet is to avoid plagiarism, but the subtext I've picked up is that the content they're promoting should be steemit exclusive. Project Curie even says: "... that appear nowhere else on the Internet". As for me, I've been reposting my writing on my personal blog. Does this action disqualify me as a candidate for those two very needed projects? Should I produce content exclusively for the steemit plataform? Are this rules written some place I haven't yet found?
Thanks in advance for your help, steemit community.
Steemit exclusive content does command a premium around here, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with reposting your original content to your own blog.
One thing you could do, though, would be to wait a day before reposting to your personal blog, and make sure that every repost includes a link back to the content on steemit. That way, your regular readers can be introduced to steemit - which is good for all of us.
That's a good idea, I'll start doing it.
I don't have an audience yet though, I started writing in english a few weeks ago.
I live in Venezuela and used to create content exclusively in spanish.
Thanks for the reply.
thanks for sharing this material, I like what you posted. Thank you so much
Thanks!
It's not a rule so much but it's not good for either steemit or your blog to have the exact same material on as it will effect google rankings, if everyone of your blog posts is appearing her on steemit your blog will eventually suffer for it.
I personally don't know what qualifies you for either program but im guessing it would make you a less desirable candidate than someone who is posting stuff exclusivly for steemit.
Thanks for the info. I don't know much about SEO and I didn't knew this.
there is a website called udemy that has a lot of inexpensive short courses for pretty much everything, There are a lot about various aspects of blogging (some of which are Free). It might be worth a look to see if there is a SEO course that can help you.
Can you explain why posting in both places will make a blog suffer? I'm fairly clueless of the workings of SEO.
Google rates unique content a lot higher than non unique content so if your work is apperaring here and on your own blog, your blog will appear lower on the search engine listings than if it where unique. this means there is less chance of people finding you through search engines.
Actually, posting your content on steemit first is preferred to those that post on their external site first. As someone suggested I'd wait a few days to post to your blog but I don't see anything wrong with it.
Both projects have chat channels on steemit.chat where you can probably find the answer to what those two projects accept.
I've been meaning to spend some time on that chat, but haven't got around to it. I'll move it to the top of my To Do list. Thanks for the reply.
