Penalized by Google for syndicate Digg articles

    Hi, recently I found out about Digg.com (which has a high Google page rank), so I decided to use it as a link and syndication for the pages on my website, http://www.anxietymadewell.com/ - basically submitting my pages- using the same or similar titles and descriptive content such as a paragraph or two from my own pages. Now Google has thrown out 80% of my pages from its index. My guess is that maybe it sees it as duplicate content?

    How can I prevent this? How can I get all the benefits from listing my articles in Digg without being banned by Google?

    I would really appreciate your help.

    Kind Regards,
    James

    Hi, thanks for that. What about titles, can you duplicate the titles of your web pages?

    Is there a limit to how many pages you can put on there? I don't know what Google doesn't like about what I've done.

    Appreciate you help,
    James

    The best way to use digg is to write original articles about your website and not copy anything on your site. This is the best way to use any of the article submitting sites.

    How many pages does your site have? I don't seem to see any that aren't indexed.

    Sorry Guys, I must have been an idiot. Now they seem to all be showing. But I swear, for the whole of today only 4-5 pages would show up on the index. Even typing in the pages individually, or going to the "more pages from" part of the listing of my website. Only a few of them were listing. The only thing I could attribute it to was that I had submitted to Digg the day before.

    Sorry to waste you time. It must be the Full moon or something.

    Thanks for your help anyway and taking the time to reply.

    P.S- however, Google is acting rather strange.

    For example yesterday, I typed in Google search, "how to get teens motivation to clean rooms" and my site came up as number 1, and my syndicate Digg article number 2. Now this pages doesn't even appear to be listed right now, and when you do a search it has completely gone.

    Same as "morning panic attack causes". My page used to be number 1. Now it doesn't even show up at all in search.

    Thanks.
