Reposting article from website

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?

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.

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! :)

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)

Only a few family members/friends - no following or interaction. We were under the impression it would help to get these things - it won't, then?

Thanks, good point.

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.

What type of graph do you mean? I'll have to look up Twitter cards, not sure what that is.

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 &amp; Canonical">
<meta property="og:type" content="article">
<meta property="og:description" name="description" content="What’s in a number? Probably more than you think. Discover how to make a mess in the search index as I try to untangle the Confusion with Pagination &amp; Canonical.">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://browserbugs.co.uk/images/pagination-confusion-cover.png">
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200">
<meta property="og:image:height" content="600">
<meta property="og:image:alt" content="The Confusion with Pagination &amp; Canonical. Discover how to make a mess in the search index.">
</head>

When shared it looks like ...

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.

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.

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.

That's not what they asked.

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

No, You can't do this. It will not provide any benefit.

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.

That makes no sense at all. Of course Google can crawl Facebook.

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?
