    I'm not a lawyer. So my opinion is just that: my opinion.

    1) I do not think copy complete posts of other people's blogs is legal. Unless you get their permission.

    2) If you quote them, if you copy only a sentence or two, correctly giving the reference and link to their blog, that's OK.

    3) From a strict SEO perspective, I do not think that your website would receive much love from Google.

    The one and only, and very lucrative, way to do just that is through the practice of content curation.

    Don't know what content curation is?

    Well, it's BIG Business!

      It's quite ok to use other people's content, providing you do not alter it in any way. You must leave any links that are in the article, and the author and the original source of the article are left intact.


      Authors will be happy for you to use their content subject to what I said above as it will provide backlinks for them. But if you're still unsure, check the rules on the site that you want to take the content from.


      I have taken many articles from ezinedotcom but have always put them on my websites exactly as they have been written.

        Hey! lol

        Not too sure of what you are trying to add more here, this is almost what content curation, that I suggested is all about.

        Except, NO, it is NOT okay "to use other people's content" even if you "do not alter it" this is called plagiarism and can cost you an arm and a leg in legal fees. So there's ways and methods to curate content and use it to publish useful and informative posts that ADD VALUE to the presentation of the curated content to your readers.

        The use of articles from ezine articles (which I do not recommend the use anymore) is permitted under a special permission license. Just DO NOT try to do the same with any content you pick around on a site you like and post their content to your site without their permission even if you do not alter it and add a link back to their site.

        That's for one thing, the other one is that you are not addressing to the right person, I'm not the OP.,

        Regards,
        Andre Foisy

    No, you can't take other people's posts without problems. I advise not doing that.

    You can use content curation, as mentioned above.

    You can also, hire a writer to rewrite them for you. You can hire writers on the WF, or Upwork, etc. I recommend you run their finished article through copyscape before you post on your blog.

    Why not take it and re-write it? It shouldn't take you very long. You want unique content on your blog. You can and should still link back to the original source and that will build your credit in googles eyes and help with getting indexed.

    Are you planning on just ripping their content? or using their content for ideas and re-writing it for yourself?

    I suggest you steal ideas from other blogs and websites but you should write your own content, with your own point of view, with your personal style.

    if you really want to make it in IM for the long run...do not steal peoples content and when you do share people content, i think its better you ask for permission and make sure you acknowledge the original owner of the content by name and url of where you got the content from.

    Hiring you an own writer would be the best option, You can assign the news topics to the writer or you can get the news from other top sites which are based on your news site then you can Re-write the contents to post it on your blog.
