    Hi,

    I am considering quoting some articles and blog entries from other sites and putting this on my blog. So far I have wirtten 100% unique content.

    Would this have any negative affect on my site from an seo point of view?

    Is there any POINT in quoting some text from another site?

    Would I get any searches for these keywords or would I be ignored because the content already exists somewhere else on the web?

    thoughts are appreciated - thx

    If it is a small amount of the original content, i wouldnt worry. Dont copy complete articles, but quoting small posts isnt a problem.

    I still have my objections considiring the duplicate content penalty. This would mean if i copy the content of a opponent in a third site he also would get a duplicate content penalty. This wouldt make any sense...

    I wouldn't worry about quoting from another site -- for instance, instapundit.com, powerlineblog.com, etc. do that all the time. Entire articles (or the bulk of an entire article) would be a horse of a different color, of course.

    Yes this may cause problems..as you have already built a website containing unique content, its better not to use repititive text. moreover, if you srill want to insert sme articles, make sure that if u use them , give proper rerfernce
