    Hello everyone. I ran into complicated situation. I have a recipe blog where I post various recipes. Since I want to monetize it, I use AdSense. But can I get banned for having the same recipes as other websites? There lots of traditional recipes and it's nothing strange that you can find identical recipes in lots of websites.

    I don't care about Google ranking since almost all my traffic is from social networks.

    It shouldn't be an issue as long as they are copy/pasted from other sources. Similar recipes would be normal... but if your site revolves around scrapping other site's content, then yes... would be an issue then.
