Hi all, I have noticed a company adopting this approach : A blog page on their own website, with daily news articles copy/pasted from various news sources, * all with attribution links back to the original news site *. They then post 'shares' on their Facebook Business page linking back to the blog article on their own website. Would this be a good strategy to improve our SEO via our FB Business page? It seems better than simply posting a FB share directly back to the news site. There should be no duplicate content / plagiarism issue due to the attribution link, right? Thanks for any advice, and have a great day. bialystock.
I think it's best to stick with only unique content on your site. Quoting a sentence or two is one thing but re-posting an entire article would easily be seen as duplicate content.
Thanks for the feedback guys. Are you pretty sure that by adding an attribution link back, that they are not avoiding that risk? Example:: http://www.landlord-manager.co.uk/quarter-of-poor-families-struggle-with-housing-costs
this is nothing, this means nothing, is ok to give citation to the website from where you have copied the text if you use website citation with the help of <blockquote></blockquote>
passcrk2005 - Sorry did not understand you. Are you saying it is ok so long as you use the <blockquote> </blockquote> tags? What about the <cite> tag? Thanks.
