    I want to use articles written on GoArticles.com on my own site, just want to know if this is legal?

    what I am going to do is I am going to copy paste the article (with author link)

    only thing is that author links will be no-follow!

    let me know please!

    You can read GoArticles article re-use guidlines at http://www.goarticles.com/publisher.html .

    Basically, you can re-use the articles in an unedited form, as long as you include the author resource box.

    it's illegal to change articles and remove links from them

    Most of the article sites require a LIVE link.

    Providing a back link to the original source and A link to the Author's profile or his/her own blog or site would do more good.

    It's better to have a communication before hand rather than just copying and pasting the articles.

    writing a 500 word article takes a half hour to an hour.
    WHY plagiarize when it does you no good and nobody wants to read it?
