    I am thinking of using wikipedia articles on my blog, do you think I will still rank in search engines?

    My dear friend

    No never, if you use exactly the same contect in your blog then you your blog is surely consider as duplicate content by google and you will be nowhere. so better get an idea and write your own article. Unique content is always the king of all.

    Cool mata and Enjoy your day

    That is the best way. Make sure to write it 100% different though. The google algorithm is pretty good at catching duplicate content. My advice is to paraphrase the article then do some seo for it.

    paraphrase = same content, different words

    Don't copy. Especially not from wikipedia. As already mentioned above, write it in your way. If you are still skeptical whether you did a good job on paraphrasing, use copyscape.com to compare what your wrote to any existing site to see whether any or all of it still sticks out as a copy.

    Never try to copy. Write from your heart. That way, you will probably write the best article on that topic.
