    Hi,
    How can i put content from other sites on mine (with permission of course!) without google thinking my site is "bad"?

    THe only way I can think of is by using frames... ANy other ways?

    Maybe new descriptions or something? iframes would work I guess since they are invisible to google. Are you looking to like display links from your other sites to keep visitors clicking throughout your projects/sites?

    Google won't think you are "bad" - they will just see it as duplicate content and probably put the page in supplemental results. If you are talking about an entire page of content in a frame, the page isn't going to have any benefit for search results so I don't see any benefit to doing it. If you are just going to put portions of content inside of other original content you could always create an image.

    Type the content in an image and display it in your webpage - shows the content but 'hide' it from Google. :)

    Do you mean you CAN'T type something in, let's say, Photoshop and then make a jpg or gif of it for your website?

    It looks like they just read the "hide it from google" part and automatically thought something negative.

    Precisely, so I guess having your content typed in an image is pretty much the best solution. :)

    Just add a lead in / intro paragraph, a nice chuck of article, then add a summary, finish with a link to the full article and benefit from all of the above.

    use the intro and summary to bump keyword count, article for good visitor information and a link to the original to build google trust (and give credit to author)

    If you add in your site layout, navbar, lead in, summary, quote and link google will see this as a similar page not duplicate
