Thanks for reading my blog. Well, blogs serve different group of readers and this is why reposting ideas will work.

As long as you add some new ideas and not just paraphrase the other post, it is not evil at all, and it does get you at least one new reader

I have to agree with you on this Jalaj, especially with the recent boom of bum marketing, ideas are being posted over and over again.

To create a totally new content like the work “long tail” and “authority blog” is so hard nowadays. I am still guessing what will be the next great thing for the Internet after web 2.0 - social media internet.

@kjls - Sorry missed your comment… yes I believe it should be linked anyhow as once you are inspired it is expected from you. If you had never seen the other’s post and you happened to write somewhere near it then its not a matter of concern.

take for example ezinearticles, authors submitting articles follow condition that those may be republished elsewhere. Publishers using contents from this site are bound under condition that they would use it ‘as is’ without changing links or whatsoever. Someone likes an article, accepts it’s soul covers with his own words and frills. Now do he requires to link to original article. After all not everybody is reinventing the wheel and using someone else’s idea.

@ Deimos
This might not be evil as it seems anyway. Got to build out my evil side so that I can come up with more evil ideas. Stay tuned.

@ kljs
No, this is not copy and paste. When we write on something which others are writing about previously, we don’t copy and paste word by word so it is alright I guess.

@ Steven Snell
Yes, this might work. Having a pingback comment appearing on a big blog might get our blog some attention and clicks as well.

@ Thomas Sinfield
Same with me but sometimes, new readers tend to think that I am copying.
@ Jalaj
Sorry, I don’t get what are you trying to say here…

I guess you need to link to original source anyways, even with huge modification…….

Posts based on some article from sites as linked by you above with major brush-ups and modification/enhancements, do they require linking to the original source (I mean to say whatever remains of it is just the idea!).

I sometimes get inspiration from other blogs and articles like you have said. but I never take it more that that. I use the initial concept and create my whole article from scratch.

I think by linking to the original source you are also likely to get their attention since they’ll probably be curious to see how you responded to their article. I did this once and it worked pretty well.
