I have this site called Health and Fitness It was doing quite well for search traffic, then over the last couple of weeks the traffic started to drop. I have been paying someone to write unique articles for me but Copyscape shows these results readablog is a blog search engine thats aggregating my feed. Do the search engines realise this or do they think I am copying the content? Please advise how can I rectify??????
If you have unique content, then this is not a concern, or are you starting to belive that the content is not unique?
I don't think the readablog site will matter much, it's only an online rss reader as such, and has a link on the page to your rss feed. Also your site home page will have far more links to it than their one page showing your content The reason for the drop could just be that your current articles on the home page do not contain what people are searching for as much as the old articles that have now moved to internal (less linked to) pages. If you have a stats package compare the search keyword referals over the last couple of months.
