Hello All,

I have a few sites that were penalized due to the penguin update, but the penalized sites have been deleted and all content removed and are no longer indexed in google or in webmaster tools.

They were all in the medical fields and I have hundreds of articles for each of the fields, they were all on separate domains.

My question is if I create one domain such as medical fields and take all my articles and put them in the correct categories will the penalty flow to the new site?

The content is quality content and I know it was the penguin penalty, but don't want to waste my time if the penalty will flow to the new site because it is the same content that was on the penalized domain..

Now, I will be adding more quality content and building an authority site out of it..

I appreciate your time and help with this...

Dennis

    If they are no longer indexed, you can use them again. I was in your situation before, I used old articles and they ranked like normal.

    They are no longer indexed I guess because I deleted the site and let them expire, has been about six months since they expired.

    If they are not indexed anywhere you can use them, you can also add new original content to the new website with the old ones.

      Yes you are correct. Be clear whether they are indexed anywhere or not before using. It is quite normal doing like this
