RE: Timeless Content versus Timely Content - Or How Steemit Can Lock Itself Out Of Business In One Easy Step

in #business8 years ago

It was already talked about in the comments. It creates a "duplicate content" issue in Google, that will eventually penalize steemit.com, and it will also trigger duplicate content bots inside Steemit that will most likely flag and downvote the resurfaced posts.

Sort:  

But if go into my post on day 29 and edit it to a short statement, there isn't any duplicate content, right? I'll be trying this, just as an experiment. I had been writing long posts (see - sumac, sunflowers, hops), because I understand the role of SEO and getting new folks to my Steemit blog and Steemit. But the risk/reward ration is too high, especially when people can't comment after 30 days, or my image links may break.

A hollowed-out post can still be positive, for example: I want you to be able to leave comments, so check out the original post that I transferred to my personal Wordpress blog.
