Great post!!

Even I came to know about this the hard way. My blog had some popular posts with good amount of traffic.I thought that submitting them to some sites will help in increasing my traffic.
But instead , those pages disappeared from google results and were replaced by other sites' results where I had submitted those posts.
Experience is the best teacher!!

Wow nice discovery and excellent article. Liked the little story you had to tell about the Google monster! That was hilarious. I already knew what you were telling me but the way you told it made me read more and more until i reached the end. Here you go folks, a classic example of a entertaining blogger. Keep it up and pop by my blog sometime.

Wow! Good info. Thanks! I've just started been asked this week, in fact, to expand my posting onto a few sites. I will be very careful not to double post but mainly point people to the other posts. THANKS.

I have customers that I have warned about this forever. It generally falls on deaf ears until their rankings start plummeting (and subsequent traffic as well). And then I have to say "told you so" amongst cries of "what can I do to get better rankings…". Makes me want to pull my hair out sometimes.

Interesting post. My wife was just approached after winning a publicity package for her new book. The promo included a "press release" style blog blast. Many different bloggers taking the release and including it as a post.

I think duplicate content has its place when it can be used for a very specific project like this. Simply for a short period of time, without much interest in the posts being syndicated for the history of the web to see. Like everything else, I think it has its moments to shine and moments to be used incorrectly (as you have shown here in a good example).
