I see a lot of people post to @ThePracticalDev or @hashnode and ONLY there. It’s a great start, but you can start building a SEO reputation for your own domain if you do it right.

You can post the same article to many different sites. If search engines find the same text under more than one URL, they consider it “duplicate content”.

They only show one copy in their search results. Which one they pick is up to them, and it might not be the one we want.

Every domain has a value, or authority, in a search engine’s algorithm. When one site links to another, that value plays into the link target’s ranking.

If many different sites link to your many copies, each copy gets its own serving of “link juice”.

You want to pick one version and make that the true original. That one is called the “canonical version”.

If the other copies point to this original with a <link>-tag, the link juice they WOULD receive gets passed to the canonical version instead.

Search engines use the canonical version in their results, even if that isn’t the one with the most direct links pointing to it.

If you post on many different services, make sure you always set a canonical URL on every copy to promote that original.

If you don’t keep a blog on your own domain yet, set one up today. You can point all the copies to the ones on your own blog. Even if nobody links to your blog directly, you still get the benefit of all that tasty link juice for your own domain.

If you always set a canonical URL, you can crosspost to as many sites as you can find. Spread the word, get your posts out there, and still start building a reputation with search engines. It’s a win-win.
