Unique content from de-indexed sites. Can I use it?

[Wi]

Hello,

I have a friend ind the same niche as me. He did some stupid things with his site, and the whole site got de-indexed! There is no pagerank, and no indexed sites in google - it's like it never existed!

The site have over 900 unique articles though, which I will be able to buy. Can I still use this, or is that just to risky?

I don't know exactly why the site got de-indexed. But what are the rules for "reusing" content from "banned"/"slapped" sites?

Best Regards.. And thank you

Firstly you should know why the site was deindexed,
if the reason is something else then you can use the articles and if the reason is the articles itself then don't use it!

Well in Denmark a lot of the socalled "article-directories" got banned, and this was one of the article directories. The top 10-15 of the article-directories in Denmark all got deindex or slapped for something. Nobody ever found out why.

I will read the links though - thank you.

I guess a lot of the content on the directories was "the same", and when I use copyscape for some of the articles my friends has, it says it exists! But I mean - shouldnt I be able to use the articles that arent found anywhere else?

Oh well, thanks for the links - let the reading begin.

Really??

No one knows about this?
According to the links the website is good, the one thing that may caused the de-indexing is DC!

No one can ever really know for sure whether google stores content from all sites and whether they delete that data if a de-indexing occurs, it will be hard to tell, no harm in testing out a few articles though, see if they get ranked before diving in head first.
