syndicated affiliate content on new site = bad or ok?
I didn't have any articles ready yet (they're on order) so I pulled a few articles from the affiliates page of the product I'm promoting. The terms for the articles are; I can't modify these articles at all.
So I just copied and paste the articles (adding bold, underlines, h2 tags etc.) and I've already posted them however I haven't done any syndication or social bookmarking to get the site indexed by Google yet.
I do plan on adding a ton of my own unique content this week.
My question is:
Is this syndicated content going to affect my new websites rankings badly in the future? Especially since it's a baby site...?
thanks in advance,
Gil
