Ive gone off doing authority blog since Panda
- SEO |
I know a lot of people who have been hit HAVE done shady things, but in the middle of it all innocent sites have been hit too, with no way of removing these links.
Google have always said write good content and people will share and link to it, but with people scraping the content you get hit with a penalty, you cannot help it if that happens, can you?
I was in middle of writing articles to launch a blog, but with all the reading I am doing I am thinking, why bother? I could spend hours/day/weeks/years doing it, and if someone scrapes it and posts it everywhere I could innocently be hit with a peanlty, do you think Google will sort this out? Surely they have to, right?
Their was a blog post I read yesterday which had been hit, a site that even Matt Cutts once linked to himself, rankings tanked and seemed they got slapped because of people stealing their content.
This is the post
When Google’s Panda Rewards Content Theft | Ubergizmo
Or is their more to it, do you think, and if so, what?
Are you worried about your blog and bots scraping content and you getting a penalty?
tbh, right now I am being put off doing any sites altogether til this all irons out, IF it does, maybe a bit melodramatic () but right now everything seems up in the air!
