Hello! I want to open a free Article Directory Website. I need suggestions. How should I control copyright articles. Any article is copyrighted if found in my website, google may ban me because people don't ask for web master normally they just complain to Google. Now I want to ask with an example that there is an article "Article on" submitted by "Author 1". Now this author may publish the same article in many different article website. What will Google says about it, will it be copied material on my website? as all the articles will be published through authors so how can we be responsible? But I will setup a disclaimer page where I will create a form so that owner of real article can contact me and I will definitely remove copyrighted article. But it is difficult to stop copied articles because the same author can publish the same articles in many websites. What do you guys say?
Yes do all that, but be prepared for hard work in moderating what is being posted, because 90% or more publish attempts will be too plainly obvious spam, you need to keep only the 10% more subtil spam which is good enough for your plan of earning with traffic / adsense / others.
it is a problem with article submission websites because you will get more than 80 % articles submitted in to other websites or may be 100% initially. but if you want to stop that then you could put permissions like ezinearticles. approve only those articles which is unique .take your time and then approve them .
