Rel=Canonical Attribute Question?

Hello. I was thinking of starting a new website and using syndicated content to make the site look complete and established while I build it up. Is there a way to do this without the new site getting penalized for having a bunch of rehashed/duplicate content on it? For instance, if I used the rel=canonical attribute to point at the original article on a different site, would that prevent any penalization?

    That's fine assuming it's legal but you'll never rank a page on Google SERPs just because it includes content.

    Odds are Google will bury the scraped pages in Supplemental SERPs If you're not building followed links to your pages.

    Hello trade4861, that is the worst idea I have heard ever. Until your page is not ready you can set it on maintenance or disallow all robots out of your website. But never with foreign content. Even when it is your own content. Why should google work with content that has already rankings? So your website is not needed, and perhaps never rank again. Google is NOT to play with!
