    Well i just ordered 3 articles which were wrote already but, unique content. When i decide to pay for it, he send me the links where i could find the articles. The 3 articles were post on his forum.

    I was scared to see that because I have to be the first one who have to publish it online, right?

    My question is; are these articles still unique now or what?

    thanks

    I think If He Has Just Put Up On His Forum Then All You Need to do is Pay him and ask Him to delete the content.
    Then Its Your content

    Nope not unique. Sorry but the guy ripped you off.
    However if that forum isn't listed in the SE's yet you still got a chance...
    Check copyscape.com to see if you got unique content.

    I don't think there is such a thing as buying unique content. Article writers or even ebook compilers will always try to sell more and more of their content always.

    Is it true if there copied articles on your site, google will de-index you?

    Tell the writer to take down the forum content, and you should be ok. Express that you are dissapointed they have done this, because your purchased unique content which shouldn't be found on other sites!

    If Google already has the the original content in cache, your content is considered duplicate. Even if he deletes it from his site, it'll stay in cache for months. Your content may end up in Google's supplemental index (Google Hell).

    You tell me :rolleyes:
    It's not unique content, that's for sure.
    Maybe you can replace (re-phrase) those sentences...

    Given the time they were posted, they aren't unique in any way :)
    Looks like the guy never wanted to put in a genuine effort to write. Sad to see people like that

    That is definitely not unique and so I wouldn't pay for it either. It's writers like this that give the rest of us a bad name. If you want it rewritten PM me and I'll give you a good deal.

    Definately not unique - and neither is this post... lol! I agree with the majority. You should definately ask for your money back - give him a chance to explain, and if he still sounds dodgy then give him a nice bit of bad rep, so it might not happen to someone else :)

    As a professional content writer, let me just say.. WHAT NERVE! How can you just lump any group of people together? I am 100% honest, I do not resell my articles.. If i tell you it's unique, it's damn well unique, you get it as soon as I am done writing it, via your email box after that, it's done it's yours I never bother it again...

    pshhhh !

    Well. On the PM you did notice that the content was on the net. This is probably the second time for me to sell content online and the first time to encounter a problem like this. You said they are unique, I protested. The conversation was not complete by the way, at lease not to my knowledge. As far as I am considered, you were skill not satisfied.

    Anyhow, if you say you have sent me the money. You describe me in what detail, like what name, and detials you had. And the amount of money you sent and the date. Then I will send you your money back VIA Paypal. And this is only if you get the information correct, becuase there are a few other people who have sent me money and I don't want to end up loosing money.

    If you wish to trade back all this, you must know that content should not be copied because it is copyrighted. Last but not least, all of the further discussions will be done here in public. There was no need to give me a bad iTrader without even talking to me about this issue more clearly. Or you should have made this topic before buying the content.

    At least now I know what people mean by 'unique' content.

    EDIT: Just read other peoples comments and dissapointed that I was judged before even talking to me. This has really put a bad image on my in this forum. The content is not copied, thats for sure. Whatever the case is, money will be returned as I mentioned above. At least from now on I will not put my work on the net and then sell it.

    Please shut up, or you want me to paste our conversation from pm here? I don't think so.. stop talking if you still want to write/copy articles for people here. You can explain a different story here, but I can paste the conversation here and then it's over with you. Just admit and forget about it, everybody makes mistakes.

    Pilar. Te estafaron. Nunca he comprado contenido único pero te sugiero que cuando compres pidas muestras del artículo para buscarlas y ver si son copias de otra página.
