May 16, 20197 yr Hi all, Question from my partner: can he re-post articles from his blog on his website onto social media sites like LinkedIn and not have Google/other search engines decide one has plagiarised the other?
May 16, 20197 yr Google will just ignore the duplicates. Why does he want to do this? What is he hoping to achieve?

You can share your article posted on your blog or website through social media, such as twitter, facebook, IG, linkedin, or other platform. But to remember, sharing in social media its not get benefits for SEO.
July 27, 20197 yr Author Re: "What is he hoping to achieve" Interaction on LinkedIn, by adding value. @tukangcilok - I'm not sure you got the point of my post. We know it won't benefit SEO. Also, smile! :)
July 27, 20197 yr So how many people have linked to his profile? Does he have a big following? If so is there already interaction? If not will the articles be good enough to rise above all the dross currently published? Also worth noting that the LinkedIn audience is different to the google visitor, so the reposted articles may need reworking to change the focus (lead generator versus information source)

We were under the impression it would help to get these things - it won't, then?

Just my 2 pence worth it might be better to ensure the website has a good setup with open graph and twitter cards. Then just share the article, with a nice cover and lead in description you can pull the traffic straight to your site. Edited July 29, 20197 yr by BrowserBugs

I'll have to look up Twitter cards, not sure what that is.
July 29, 20197 yr Ah ok there's open graph https://ogp.me/ and Twitter cards https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/optimize-with-cards/overview/markup.html. What you can do is set an independent image, title, description etc in the page head which is then used in social channels. Here's an example from an article of mine. <head> <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"> <meta name="twitter:site" content="@BrowserBugs"> <meta name="twitter:creator" content="@BrowserBugs"> <meta property="og:url" content="https://browserbugs.co.uk/the-confusion-with-pagination-and-canonical"> <meta property="og:title" content="The Confusion with Pagination & Canonical"> <meta property="og:type" content="article"> <meta property="og:description" name="description" content="What’s in a number? Probably more than you think.

Probably not. Linkedin can work but it needs lots of nurturing. Your husband needs to start posting case studies with data on how changes to the copy increased X by Y. He needs to start building relations ships and following other. Commenting and interacting with others. His list needs to be managed to keep only likely leads. In other words he needs to decide if linked is going to be a source of work. If so, put all his efforts into this and not the blog.
November 2, 20196 yr I believe such activity has two main advantages if you give link back to the original content, firstly you can get newer audience and secondly useful social signals are generated. I know many big blogs like GoodCore and others who do such activity from time to time. Edited November 2, 20196 yr by Hasan Raza corrected spelling
April 24, 20206 yr For me there isn't any harm in posting your own article on your social media accounts. You may use few lines of your article in your post and then write READ MORE with the post link.

May 8, 20206 yr Two questions: 1. Why wouldnt he want people to visit his site and reading the blog post on website? 2. Why does he want to post the whole article on social media like Linkedin? What does he hope to achieve?

Of course, it's his content after all
September 27, 20205 yr Hey, Google will just ignore the duplicates. Social media doesn't count much in SEO.
January 21, 20224 yr The crawler of Google can't visit Facebook because it has its own crawler. So there is no issue reposting your article on Facebook to redirect the audience to your blog. It may help to increase the traffic on your site.

Of course Google can crawl Facebook.
May 31, 20224 yr Well, of course he can do it. But it won't bring him any benefits. Maybe it's better to share a link to this article on social media instead of simply copying the text?
