Short answer: keep the canonical, full article on the site that should reap long-term SEO and branding benefits, and only let a larger site republish when there is a technical or editorial safeguard in place. That balances the exposure that asked about with the duplicate-content concerns raised by and echoed by . The practical middle path is to publish original content first, then syndicate or guest-post with controls.

A simple workflow that fits the thread: publish the full piece on the home blog and promote it to get initial indexing and links (echoing points from , and ). If a higher-traffic site wants the piece, prefer one of three options: 1) a bespoke guest post written specifically for that site, linking to the original; 2) full syndication where the host adds a rel=canonical pointing to the original URL; or 3) a shortened excerpt on the host with a prominent link to the full article. Option 1 gives exclusive value to the host without SEO risk; option 2 preserves SEO when technically implemented; option 3 drives referral traffic while avoiding a duplicate full copy.

When using full syndication, the republishing site should include a canonical tag or a noindex metadata tag. Example canonical tag to be placed inside the republished page head:

<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/original-article" />

A noindex alternative:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />

Finally, negotiate a visible byline and a follow link on any guest placement to capture referral traffic and author authority. If the host refuses canonical/noindex and requires first-publication exclusivity, accept only when the brand or immediate traffic gain clearly outweighs the long-term SEO cost. This approach addresses the exposure-versus-ownership tradeoff discussed by and while keeping the original site’s value intact.

Its better to post your article in blog but after submitting on blog don't submit it to the different article sites.

I think first publish it on your blog then promote it by submitting its link in social bookmarking, article submission etc. techniques....

And according to me if you are publishing first on your blog then it would be more beneficial for you because if you will do a bit promotion for quick indexing for new contents then you can booooom.

Always keep in mind that after publish new contents bookmark them to top 10 or more social bookmarking sites. Because by this way your contents will index very quickly and quick indexing will help you lots in promotion.

Thanks

It's a useless effort to publish the same article everywhere, it would be regarded as duplicate content and not taken into account for your rankings. Better keep your blog always updated with fresh and good quality content and do social bookmarking at the same time with other articles that relate to your niche.

Unique contents are always better. I always write my contents by my own.

Great response and dead on correct. Duplicate content can even cause your site to be pushed down the search engine rankings. New and quality content on your site first and foremost is key. Not only can it help with SEO, but it can encourage human visitors to keep coming back, comment on your blogs, bookmark your site, tweet your blogs, etc.

it is much more effective if you choose to stand on your own if you can, meaning, you'll be more efficient in doing things or executing plans with regards to marketing but if you think you can't do it yourself it would be much more productive because you ought to use the available resources around you.

It is an effective way to post a content on your blog than submitting to various article submission sites. And it not a right way to use blog's content to submit in article sites. No search engine likes this way and may be it count as spam.
