It seems that some Yahoo advertisers are having problems with the new Yahoo Search Marketing’s bulk upload feature and user accounts becoming deactivated.

Florian Reichling writes about his experiences. Florian used Yahoo’s bulk upload function and his entire account was disabled and could not be brought back online. According to him:

Supposedly it is a known bug on the new Panama platform and a ticket had to be submitted to the tech group, who I was told would “get to this matter as soon as they can.” Great - here I am loosing out on a couple of thousand visitors per day and someone over at Yahoo needs to manually flip a switch to get my account back online.

Please keep in mind, however, duplicate content is not an exact science or anything close to that. As I wrote this article, I often imagined exceptions where a penalty would or would not take place. That said the following answers are based on what my experience dictates to be the most common scenarios.

Answer 1: Syndicating Your Own Content
If you are sending out your own content for syndication (on other websites) you need not worry yourself with duplicate content penalties because you are the original source of the article. However here is some winning strategies you should use to ensure you get the maximum benefit from your article.
