    &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;My answer to &lt;a href="https://www.quora.com/If-I-write-a-blog-then-use-the-same-information-to-create-a-slideshare-presentation-will-that-help-or-hurt-my-websites-SEO/answer/Simon-Willison"&gt;If I write a blog, then use the same information to create a slideshare presentation, will that help or hurt my website&amp;#39;s SEO?&lt;/a&gt; on Quora&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I would be absolutely amazed if you were hit by a duplicate content penalty for this. To a search engine spider (even a super advanced one) content formatted as a blog post and similar content repurposed as slides will look completely different.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;My answer to &lt;a href="https://www.quora.com/How-can-you-use-SlideShare-effectively-to-grow-your-professional-reputation-in-a-specific-niche/answer/Simon-Willison"&gt;How can you use SlideShare effectively to grow your professional reputation in a specific niche?&lt;/a&gt; on Quora&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"How to integrate SlideShare activities with other social networks"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to increase the visibility of your presentations, one thing you could do is ensure you have an up-to-date speaker profile on our service, Lanyrd. You can list the events you've spoken at and the talks you've given, then attach your SlideShare presentations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you do this, your talks will show up in a bunch of places - they'll be linked to from your Lanyrd profile, they'll be featured on the event page and they'll also show up on any topic pages relevant to the talk.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's an example: I gave a talk about Comet (a fore-runner to WebSockets) at an event back in 2008. Here's the session page on Lanyrd, with the embedded SlideShare presentation:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://lanyrd.com/2008/skillswap-goes-javascript/skq/"&gt;http://lanyrd.com/2008/skillswap...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The presentation also shows up as a thumbnail on our page about that event:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://lanyrd.com/2008/skillswap-goes-javascript/"&gt;http://lanyrd.com/2008/skillswap...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And since it was about "Comet", it shows up in the slider widget at the top of our page about Comet as well:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://lanyrd.com/topics/comet/"&gt;http://lanyrd.com/topics/comet/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Finally, it's included in my overall speaker profile, along with all of my other talks:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://lanyrd.com/profile/simonw/"&gt;http://lanyrd.com/profile/simonw/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

I used SlideShare’s slidecast tool for the first time to synchronize audio of my Django London User Group talk with the slides. The talk included several live demos which aren’t represented in the slides so it’s a bit piecemeal in places.

I’m slowly pushing my presentations from the past couple of years up to Slideshare. This is a Django talk from April 2006, so it’s a little out of date.
