Will GPanda Penalize me for this?

I have an old blog that i don't use anymore. The blog isn't public anymore and only I can view the blog and posts. I have transferred some of articles from this old blog to my new blog - www.the-wise-penguin.blogspot.com

Now, I understand GPanda penalizes copied content and such, but is my content really copied.. Cuz technically the old articles have been deleted and the articles on my new blog are the only ones on the net...

Also, will GPanda penalize me if I publish my articles on websites such as ezinearticles?

Thanks.

WisePenguin,

 

It depends how long your content has been offline and whether or not Google has deleted the content from its archives. You can always search phrases in your content directly with quotations and if yours is unique, Google should ONLY return your page. If not, you'll at least want to rewrite it.

 

Only if the old content is not indexed anymore. Otherwise just take it down and wait awhile.

 

I would rewrite it just to be sure. This panda thing is sensitive to duplicate content.

 

You could change a few words, just a few though to be in the clear. After that you're all set.

 

Chances of penalize is more because you are taking content from other source. It also depend on how Google take your content.

 

If your old blog is not accessible to search engines and to the users, there is no harm in publishing this content on your website. But if by any chances Google discovers the content, you will be in a big mess... that may lead your blog to the penalty.

 

You could ask Google to pull the site from the search engine since you took it offline.

 

I think it depends if google can still pull out your first blog info. Using your old articles for another blog can be a little bit risky.

 

I think mate you must get new content and leave the idea of duplicate content to escape from google panda

 

google is remarkably unforgiving in pretty much everything they do. Use a thesaurus and rephrase what your saying. you **might** get away with it... but then again you **might** get a big fat panda sitting on your face.

I'd go the better safe than sorry method

 

Better you change some words in the article so that it doesn't look duplicate.
