Will every news site publish the same article? Can I submit a different article for each outlet?

Why one story is published across all outlets, why it is not a duplicate content problem for your website, and how to publish different stories.

One story, published everywhere in your package

Each order publishes one news story on every outlet included in your package. This is how news normally spreads: hundreds of sites carry the same story. We cannot publish a different article, or a different headline, on each outlet within a single order.

Publishing different stories

To publish different stories on different outlets, place a separate order for each story. Many clients publish a new story every month, and credit packs make repeat orders cheaper. See bulk discount prices.

Is it duplicate content for Google?

No. Having the same story on several news sites will not adversely affect your website's position on Google, because news sites often republish the same content. The duplicate content issue in SEO only occurs if your own website copies content from another website. Here is Google's guide on duplicate content.

Google does filter identical results, so it usually shows only one or two of your publications for a given search. Searching for your exact headline usually shows almost all of them. Read more in ranking on the first page of Google.

Disavowing publications

If you ever believe any of our publications are causing issues with your Google rankings, you can disavow them with Google for free: Google disavow links. Export the text list of your publication URLs from the top of your report (Export, then Text List) and upload it. Be aware that you will lose any positive SEO effect the articles have had on your website.
