Blogging on several websites and SEO

Hi everyone,

I recently set up a corporate website (about a company that produces the product X) with a blog in the root folder, hopping that the articles will create keywords for this website.

I also would like to have these articles displayed on an other blog without the corporate template (about the product X and not only our company).

If I set up a script to display the articles on both websites, will it be considered as duplicate content by the search engine, will have a positive, neutral or negative effect on my rank?

Thank you by advance for your answers.

if you wish to get seo profit of some kind, by having the same content in other site linking to the first one, its worth almost nothing (by doing it wrong you can even get the opposite and harm you site seo).
maybe in larger scales of distribution, and with a brief with a link to the main article will be more useful.
using script will prevent from the search engines to see it as a duplicate content, but also donate nothing to the seo, unless you counting on getting a lot of visitors from it.

If an article appears on a lot of sites, none but one of them (the one on the most authoritative site) will rank. So if you're syndicating an article to a bunch of highly trusted websites, chances are: the article will appear in the SERPs but not from your own site; from the one that's most powerful among the lot. On the flip side of that, if you do execute this with some forethought, you can actually create a lot of buzz for your own site, given the article is of good quality. But if it is, I wouldn't really syndicate it; I'd put it on my own site, so there. (Syndication does have its benefits though).

And yeah, don't produce articles to "create keywords" as you put it. Only produce content to satisfy visitors. Benefits will follow without you having to vie for them.

Yes, absolutely.

No effect, unless it gains links from outside your network of sites. In my opinion it is a waste of time.

I don't agree, i believe you can take care for a good KW density and links in the article while keeping the visitors satisfaction.
for example: by using well internal links that related to the KW subjects, you'll serve better the visitors and upgrade your links structure and seo.

I'm not saying you shouldn't include keywords in your content. In fact, if you write naturally, plenty of keywords will slip in whether or not you intend them to.

But what I really meant was that it's pretty useless to produce articles to solely gain SEO benefit. If you focus more on serving users (and play your cards right), you will create a good brand for yourself, and garner a lot of relevant links (off-page SEO) automatically.

I agree this will create duplicate content issues, what I am suggesting is just they link to your page instead with snippets on it (one sentence is enough not the whole content).

Do not set up another blog, I suggest to focus on your site company blog and let it grow there (with your updating of course). Traffic will follow naturally.

if that you meant so you right, but i still believe you can combine perfectly between quality content for the readers and seo elements. Search Engines Optimization otherwise, its not optimize :-)
