I know that ezine articles says its ok if you use their articles as long as you leave the authors signature intact and all that... but what about Google banning you for duplicate content? How does this work? I'm using Wordpress
You can do this . but where do you think it will get you my friend? There are millions of others out there doing this.. Google is getting more inteligent and simple word replace wont cut it anymore..
Yes I know millions of others are republishing articles but I have another idea for this. I'm not replacing any words I'm leaving the original authors articles the way it is and I'm crediting them with their link at the bottom The only thing I want to know is if it's okay to repbublish articles why would Google penalize my site?
If you are just plain republishing them , then Google will index. Wait and then de-index. Ive done something similar before with gray hat stuff but stay away from all that. Key now is to build real sites with real content and stay away from republishing anything.
As easy at it would be to just republish articles, your work may do more harm than good and end up being for nothing.
what is the difference between republishing an article from an article site or from another site...many popular blogs i go to(sports blogs,entertainment blogs, political blogs) have articles from news sites, blogs, etc and they are some of the most popular for their niche. How is this possible?
You would be better served if you rewrote the articles so they were unique to your site. Initially, publishing the articles from ezine will help but long term it will end up hurting you. That is not speculation, I know this to be factual.
This doesnt make sense to me. There are article directories that get lots of traffic and have a good page rank. Why cant Google treat this is an article directory??
well I'd suggest posting here ; 1) http://www.ezinearticles.com 2) http://www.goarticles.com 3) http://www.212articles.com 4) http://www.articlespro.info 5) http://travel-health-insurance.info/
Its wise to use your own unique content. Duplicate content will not get you good ranking in search engines.
