Hey All, i want to run this by you all...

Is it a good idea to mirror a blog in order to get a little more traffic or exposure.

My idea is to have my main website, and then post 50% of the article or less on blogger and wordpress and then have a link to my "main" blog website which i host myself?

Is this a big no no, or will it cause problems with the main website?

Help appreciated, oh and while im here

WordPress or Drupal or ?????

Looking for a new foundation for my website...

No - do not mirror sites to try to get more traffic. Doing so will only harm your long-term organic rankings.

Put you efforts and time into building a stronger main website.

Wordpress is good enough to work with.

And do not mirror...bad idea if you want to stick to this long term.
