    I just wanted to know whether I will get banned for using copied content from another website?

    Actually, I've noticed mannnnnnnny websites which have loads and loads of copied content in them making thousands of dollars through adsense.


    Please dont give me answers such as "the websites will get banned one day". Actually those websites containing copied contents are running adsense for more than two years now.

    Can someone gimme the reason for this?

    Will never happen - you can easily copy content and place adsense.

    As per the google adsense policies they have no objection if you copy content from any other site.

    Hope it helps...

    Yes anytime, if the orginal owner of that copyright protected content complaints with DMCA infringement report. To avoid that either give a link back credit to orignal owner else completely re-write the content before you re-publishes it.

    Well both of you are right.

    To be safe if you copy content, add content to it and change the main keywords a little. This will help you for sure!

    Cheers.

    So, there wont be any problem with adsense for the website containing copied content..

    The only problem is that the website wont rank higher in search engine results right?

    Talking about search engine positioning I got one more doubt. If one post of my website has copied content, then that particular post wont be ranked higher in search engine right? Would it affect the search engine rankings of other posts or the entire website?

    This is dangerous and risky. You should avoid this, or atleast make some changes in the content, so that it is not exect copy of the original.

    There is no such thing as non copyright protected web copy.... If it was created especially here in the US the copywright belongs to who created it instantly.

    Adsense wont ban you for copying content as long as the original writer files a complaint
    The big question is can you generate traffic with copied content, my answer a big NO

    Copying content isn't going to help you rank in the SERP(s) so putting adsene on them is pretty pointless. You won't get banned from adsense, but you also won't rank in google or make any money.

    If you don't like writing content, outsource it, or I would pick a different career.

    Buddy, what about PLR articles,articles in public domain, copyright expired contents etc etc. Whether it is worth publishing is altogether a different issue, but there are tons of non copyrighted content avilable on net.
