Re: Free Articles

I wouldn't advise duplicate content. And i know for sure Google will consider it such in a couple of days and toss those pages to supplementary. If you really need those articles, don't put them on the pages which bring traffic. Original content deserves free traffic from google and who needs dups. I think its pretty fair.

Re: Free Articles

Yep, instead you can start a blog and post those articles by splitting or editing it.

Re: Free Articles

Duplicate content is worthless nowadays. It will never appear in Google's search results as they filter it all out and put it in their supplemental index which is as good as not having it at all.

Re: Free Articles

Re: Free Articles

Of course it is duplicate content. The original site gets credit for the article and the rest have their copies go into the supplemental results.

Re: Free Articles

On the other hand, if the article is useful for your visitors, go ahead and put it, but don't expect G to bring free traffic to this page. So, duplicate content could still be useful for visitors but not for search engins.

Thanks for your reply, that means the site owner ( original source of the article ) has nothing to worry for sending out his/her own content for syndication (on other websites).

Re: Free Articles

I that were me I would wait a while until I was sure Google had my pages indexed first. That way you can be sure Google knows it is yours.

Re: Free Articles

True! If you have an article, then first add to your website and wait for Google to index it. Then you can start submitting into various places.

If you are planning to add someone else article, then I'd recommend against it as on one hand it will NOT benefit you in anyway and on ther other hand you are only helping the orginal writer by providing him a quality back-link. Not a good move.

I'd recommend start writing quality content of your own or get it written instead of adding others content. Its not worth the efforts.

Also you can add a blog to your website and also add many Authors to it who will write articles/posts on your blog. So, its a win-win situation and you get traffic.
