Hello Dps I have 2 yr old blog.. Which has around 48 published articles. 100% unique... they are available only on my blog & not even published on any other articles directory.. it is also well ranked for its keywords.. Now I have sold that blog blog ,with condition that i may use its articles for my private use on new blog.. Can i use that article on my new blog? is that considered as duplicate content?
Yes as those articles already used and cached by google so if you add them again anywhere then it considered as duplicate contents. DON.
Try modifying the sentences in the articles so it would look like "same result, different story" - google won't index it as duplicate content and you can use the same keywords.
I've read an ebook about SEO optimization guide...it said google won't see it as a duplicate content if you change the title and modify the first 125 words in your article... I've never try it myself though...
Depends on your deal with the buyer. Things to consider. Google rewards not the originator of the content per se, but the site it thinks is "better" for the user. And as much as Google has a huge share of Search .... I do just fine with Yahoo and MSN as traffic generators.
Hope These will help: 10 Step Article Rewrite Walkthrough Ideally, you should be rewriting the whole article. The rewriting process takes about 10 minutes if all related materials are prepared. It is important to rewrite whole article as it literally guarantees that you will have the one and only copy of this material (technically) and probably by meaning which will ensure great benefits from visitors and search engines as well. Step 1: Read the Article Go through the article once so you have an idea of what it is about - this will help in rewriting it later. Step 2: Change the Headline Keywords always come first, but can you change the headline to add something more creative at the end? A headline must also be short to work well, so you’ll have to balance that too. Your best bet is to add a related keyword to the headline - for example, if the article is on antioxidant supplements add the words healthy or health into the headline. And make sure that it makes sense and isn’t gibberish. Step 3: Add a subheading The subhead, despite its notoriety in sales letters is actually quite useful in providing focused, relevant information about the article to the reader. If you can write a 1-2 line keyword-rich summary of the article, put it here. Step 4: Rewrite the introduction paragraph Just reword the intro paragraph and don’t worry about changing too much or too little. Think of a different way of putting across the same point. Step 5: Create headings in your articles Slice and Dice - break up your article into 2-3 sections, give them headings and rewrite the first few lines that go after each heading. Subheadings can be also useful when compelling one article out of 2 or more other articles. Step 6: Create a list(s) in the middle Slice and dice again - break up a paragraph or two and turn it into a list - whether it is of features, of symptoms, a checklist, etc. Step 7: Rewrite the last paragraph You’re almost done - go through the last paragraph (or the last two paragraphs if they are short) and rephrase them again. Follow the tips given in the previous section for what type of words to use, but basically as long as you stay on topic, use related keywords and paraphrase, that’s all there is to it. Step 8: Create a call to action at the end of the article For articles that are submitted to article directories, your intention is two-fold - you want to drive readers to your site, and you want the links from your submitted articles to help your site rank higher in the search engines. As such, it makes sense that the end of the article should contain some information about the author and his site as well as a direct link back to it. For example: John Adams is recognized expert from Nottingham.

Step 10: Review Take a couple of seconds to go through your rewrite - is the headline ok, does the subhead make sense, does the new article have a conversational flow to it. Make sure you haven’t missed out anything and that you’ve formatted things properly (links, images, lists, etc). Just like RifqiAF, I've never try it myself though... (I've got these from moreniche)
It will definitely be considered as duplicate content.. Considering the reply of RifqiAF, how about trying it for yourself?
