I bet there is a threat with similar topic but somehow I couldn't menage to find it,so i decided to post a new one. All away since I began exploring Adsense and earning money with it, I ve been reading how unique content is so great. I have a blog that i started recently and until now all post there are unique, but now I found the one on ezinearticles which is relly amusing and I am thinkin to include it in my post collection. So now the question is, how bad can it be for my blog? I apologize for lack of information but as I said I am new in all this Adsense thing and still cleaning the confusion out of my head. This may help me reduce it. Regards Sinn
It won't hurt the rest of your site, but if it's duplicate it still won't bring you additional search engine traffic. It could still bring you traffic through your RSS feed. I say if you think it's a good read post it.
its not ethical to copy somebody else's work and include on your site/blog without permission form the original author. if you like the concept, then you can do your own research and write a similar article or get some article writer write one for you. you will have unique content and no copywrite issue in the future
Copied content are usually not indexed by google... and visitors won't read it instead they will nott return visiting your site.
I found article on ezinearticles and I followed their TOS which means that I included all of the links author made in post, also included ezinearticles link and I said it is not my own post. So I think its been take care from that point of view. Its not that I intend to do that with all of the posts, but I found that one to be pracicularry usefull and within the context of my blog. I think it cannot hurt this time. THx for replys guys I love you
You can but search engines, especially google will nto index your page anymore because there is alwaready an original...
Make sure google crawl your site fast, before your content if put in some other site. Once google crawls your site, after that, no more worry about people copying your content, as google will know it found the content first on your site.
I think google gives first priority to articles that indexed first... I experienced this already... I also posted my articles at sitepoint and after a week, sitepoint is second to my original article... SP is way too far ahead in PR..
You can make your post more original by adding your own viewpoint or comments before or after the article you are putting in.
If you post the full article from ezine, then it will hurt your blog as you're posting duplicate content. The best thing to do is to write a couple of para's and provide the source url.
people to that to my blog all the time.. in fact people from here do it more than ever to me when i post my URL.. most people with link you at the buttom of the post so you get a backlink and they get shit traffic... all works out.
adding some content that you have downlaoded from an article site is not a problem, providing that the majority of your posts are high quality and unique. The problem comes when people just create spam sites, dedicated to mass produced articles
