: Will dofollow backlinks in a syndicated article improve backlinked pages' rankings? Do dofollow backlinks from duplicate articles across different sites improve site rankings? I guess Google etc

@Kristi941

The duplication of content is what Google's "Panda Algorithm" is all about reducing and eliminating, at least in its search results. So as far for SEO it's value is greatly reducung and diminishing more each day.

As far as links in that content, they're probably equally devalued as well. So links placed in articles and then distributed in article farms that used to be popular not too long ago aren't going to be worth anything anymore (as they shouldn't).
