Hello guys,
Back in 2013 I wrote many amazing articles on squidoo but after an year or so , I decided to remove all that I published there and create my own blog and publish everything on that blog. Well, later I decided to start a blog in another niche so I never actually used those deleted articles.

Today using archive org I decided to save all those posts and publish in the the blog I am currently working on. Obviously all those posts are unique (ran through copyscape too just to make sure). Now the thing is, I copied a paragraph from one of those article and searched on google. It showed me a link of squidoo where I published years ago. When I clicked on that link it showed "Sorry, the page you requested was not found ". So basically the article isn't there anymore but the link itself is still indexed.

I was wondering if I can reuse my articles or not. Thanks

    It shows 404 error when I click on that squidoo link on google. All plagiarism checkers are showing the content as 100% unique.

    If you want to delete this links you should use Google Outdated removal tool in the webmaster page.

      Thanks for you response. I have already done that but I suppose google takes a long time respond to this. Since there are more than 100+ articles I won't be able to wait that long. So I am wondering if I can use these articles for now?

    Yes Of course you can use the article as the article is just indexed in Google, but it really does not exists anymore. Therefore there is no question arises for plagiarism.

    Yes you can use them No worries Usually google will take action against you when some one files a complaint but since you yourself wrote them over squidoo so that wont happen.
