I wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts on this topic for me.  Obviously, it is not kosher to copy and paste an article written by someone else (i.e. plaigerism - a federal offense). If you like their article, link to it and make your own comments regarding the topics the original author discussed.

So my main question is how best to post articles that I write in different spaces across the web. For example, I am now writing articles for DiscoverSD.com (view our profile here). I would like to post articles that I write on various websites to reach a larger audience, however, I am concerned about duplicate content with how it relates to search engines. Basically, the idea is that if a search engine finds 2, 3 or 4 different pages on the web that have the same text in them, they disregard all but one of them as duplicate content and will not be available in the search engine index.

What I plan to do, is write the original article for discoversd and then repost a summary of the article here on active rain with a link to the original article on discoversd.com.

If anyone has any comments on this, I would like to hear it. I've seen a lot about reposting other people's content, but nothing yet about reposting your own uniquely written content.

thanks!
