Lets say someone has a blog and they have 10 original posts and 2 posts that were copied from another blog. Does the 2 posts that were copied from another blog affect the blogs ranking in google yahoo e.t.c. If you search on google or yahoo will the blog's 10 original posts be affected by the 2 that were copied? I know the 2 posts that were copied will not be seen by search engines or will be really low, but my question is will those posts give your blog a bad reputation to search engines thus ranking you lower? Does it matter?
It does not affect until your blog is indexed normally, but if the SE found the blog copying, whole blog would get infraction
because sometimes,or many times, copied blogs rank more. So it is not nice to give infraction to the blog with original content. That means that, you are saved even though you are copied. But beware of SE updates, the SEs AI are being improved greatly in very short times and wont take much time then to find spam or copied blogs.
doesn't matter, I have a blog that mostly I copy paste , but it has PR-3 already and just some article that I write by my self,.... indeed google will index your blog coz when user type in search box dialog google will crawl all your content and put in one single url.,,,, so it doesn't matter
If you have 10 original posts and 2copied posts it will not make much sense to search engine and your blog will still rank better and search engine will not crawl these two posts which were copied but just keep a check that after posting the copied blog post you post one original blog posts so that when search-bot crawls your blog it can see the new content also - this will help the search-bot to ignore the copied post and crawl the new... Hope it helps...
i don't agree with comment above, copied article still can on page 1 rank 1. off course you must have a lot quality backlink. why i said this? because my friend have copied article but he on page 1 and rank 1. link popularity is the key.
Let me give you some live example, search this phrase in google 'Your Shape is a revolutionary' - you will get many results - lots and lots but the original page is this - http://www.ubi.com/ENCA/Games/Info.aspx?pId=8239 - isn't it?
From these posts it sounds like it most likely won't make a difference which is good news to me and I think I should link back to them. Its been a while though not sure if I remember the blog names.
