Reusing delisted content to create larger site

I have 25 sites that were all in the exactly the same topic just with different industry sectors.. They have been delisted by google due to that fact they all only had about 5-6 pages a piece. All of these sites combined would make a great single larger site. No of them are in google but all are still listed in yahoo and bing. Is there a way reuse the content on the delisted google sites and put them to work on a single larger site?

Having only 5-6 pages of content is not a reason Google would deindex a site.

There are sites with a single page that rank in Google. 5-6 pages is not a violation of anything Google.

You must have had other violations to get delisted.

I doubt Google keeps a directory of all content ever delisted so, if the content is of high value, it of itself would probably not put a new site at risk.

But simply putting the content onto a larger site is not the solution to your problem since the original pronlem is not "too few articles" on a site.

If the problem is the content of the articles then a new site will not improve that.

If the problem was other factors (link profile/site activity) then a new site would only solve those if you do not continue the practices on the new site.

In order to make sure you don't get hit with duplicate content penalties when their algos sweep your content you must:

1) run an index search in google "site:www.yourdomain.tld" and see what google actually still has indexed
(make sure you check both www. and non www. versions of your old domains)

2) Run a couple of online plagerism checkers to ensure nobody has posted that content since, as you will be seen as just copying and pasting it.

But onSubie has some valid points there you also need to take heed of

Well the content is very well written.... 1000 words a piece on each page... good writer. The delisting webmaster email that I received was "thin content" . It was an affiliate page if that has anything to do with its demise. It was ironic that almost 20 of the 25 website received it on the same day.

I did check the domians against what google has and they all clear... none of them are indexed. And as far as plagiarism checkers, I did that as well and it was clear as well. I guess my main concern is the sites that are indexed in yahoo and bing. Am I right to assume that I need to take those down before I were to proceed with the new larger site?

Google hates affiliate's because affiliate marketing converts way better than all of their un-relevant ads lol

They don't like giving competitors (affiliates marketing non google products) traffic from there network.
