Posting duplicate content is lazy and search engines hate it. Worse yet even if you don't post duplicate content on your own blog, it is bad manners to submit duplicate content to others. Search engines like high quality content, so when someone posts duplicate content, that has already been said somewhere else, often many times before if a PLR article, it will drag the websites down.

People often post duplicate content due to a lack of time and finances. Yet even on a tight budget you can perform search engine optimisation, without needing to resort to duplicate content posting. Some people believe that duplicate content is worth the effort to generate backlinks to their website. Yet by weakening the very sites you are publishing on, you are weakening the available SEO juice from those very backlinks. The mindset that others are already posting duplicate at specific websites, is wrong, especially as Google Page Rank is 'page', rather than site rank. So the actions you take on your own site as well as off-site should comply to the same high standards.

If you have an article that you wish to use more than once, you don't have to publish it again, but instead could convert it to video for SEO purposes, else collect a series and make into a free ebook, you provide to subscribers of a newsletter not published on the internet.

Deploying a mixture of bad SEO techniques is bad for blogging, and even if not hurting your website today, could result in problems later. Don't allow others to submit content to your website that has already been published elswhere, plus check regularly if your content has been duplicated by others.

That is why each day you need to raise your blogging game, increase the relevancy and quality of your content relating to the topic you are writing about. There are plenty of good SEO techniques that can be deployed, that are cheap, often free and easy to put in place. A healthy dollop of consistency will help as well. Duplicate content is bad for your blog, bad for other blogs and you should not resort to republish the same content. It's not worth the hassle.
