  • When you copy articles you are putting duplicated content on your website which is a terrible idea. EVEN if you put the source on your website Google knows who made the article first.
  • What exactly your intentions are? Are you trying to give updates of every blog in your niche? Like a news update?
  • There's ways to do what you're talking about doing, but judging from your post I'm going to tell you that it's not safe to approach.

    Original content, unless you want to spin your wheels 'til you figure out how to force duplicate content to the top of the SERPs.

    Your blog pages which are most likely weak as far as backlinks will be buried in Google Supplemental SERPs (no traffic). It's sort of bad If your goal is search traffic.
  • You can do this every now and then, (more like once in a blue moon), but if 95% of your site is duplicate content then you'll be penalised like crazy. Not worth it.
  • Google doesn't entertain duplicate article as it treated it as a spam. So, keep in mind that a duplicate content won't help you to rank your website or your blog. Make fresh and unique content with complete information of the topic in which you are writing. It will assist you to generate huge traffic on your website easily. Write an attractive content guys.

    • Not necessarily. As Yukon pointed out it just gets filtered to the supplemental index, and will never be seen by any real user. I guess you could get a manual spam penalty or something, but the automated systems keep you from ranking.

      Only if you actually go and "generate" that huge traffic. Marketing is an essential point. No matter how good your content is it's not going to work if nobody knows about it. You don't need to have deep pockets. Just start from social media and your circle of contacts.
  • Copying content from other's site is completely unethical way as per google guidelines. And the technique you are following to mention the source is not a good idea. Because your post will never get rank on SERP. But yes if you write the content in your own words and then you can put the source as a reference then it would be beneficial for your post. First you have posted a unique and fresh content so it could be rank on SERP and if you give preference then it will increase your social presence and may be in future the other person will also recommend you....
  • It's a bad idea. However you can mention the original source link in your own created content. It'll give as much as benefit as you were planning to get by submitting another websites content to your posts.
  • well i did outrank sites from which i copyed article word by word so...

    • Sure, it's possible. It's not ethical, or something that a business should do. It's also not something that a newbie can pull off.
  • I found this code in a blog

    <link href='www.example.com/' rel='canonical'/>

    and the publisher says that if you have added it to your blog ,Google will considered Articles copied just as important with Original articles, is that true

    • Google shows the article that seems most popular and closest to the search phrase.

      If you copy an article and do better SEO than the original has, you're going to be shown. If you copy and your SEO is worse, the original will be shown searchers.

      Canonical tags are redirects, they're not an obvious redirect like a 301/302 but they're still considered redirects by Google.

      So... If you add a canonical tag on your copied page pointing to another domain odds are your copied page will be buried in supplemental SERPs where it will never be seen by traffic. So... it's pointless to copy another webpage, even less useful from an SEO point of view to point a canonical tag on your copied webpage back to the original author domain/page.

      Canonical tags can be cross domain redirects, they're not strictly for internal pages.

      [Google source]
      ...which is what the original author is trying to get you to do, redirect (canonical tag) all copied pages back to the original domain/page.

      Even If you don't do any type of redirect the page with the best SEO wins in the SERPs. Odds are If you're scraping the web for content you probably have just as much effort in link building (weak backlink profile).
    • If you didn't get Yukon's excellent explanation, here's a TL;DR:
      It's the exact opposite. You'd be asking Google to honor the other article as the copy that they should show.
  • The whole copied article is not so good idea. Here are a couple of things you can do.

    1) Rewrite the whole article.
    2) Take the whole blog but use cannonical tag with original URL.
  • according to the rules of google panda your article or content must be unique otherwise google count your website as a spam..

    • There's no "rules of Google Panda" that anyone of us know about, and your comment about spam is misleading. You'd know this already if you just would've read the thread.
  • If you copied an article from original source and mention in your blog, Google will come to knows from where you have copied the article. Believe me is an a bad ideo for seo, as Google will be penalize your site.

    • Google will not penalize your site. At worst, it will put your article in a dark corner of its basement. At best, it will be #1 in the results for one or more keywords... It all has to do with SEO, with backlinks.
