Someone posted a very informative post on a forum and i asked them if i could use it as an article on my blog, they gave me permission but im wondering if it considered duplicate content?

  • Yes it is, because it is still from Google, What you want to do since, you have permission to copy it, is add a couple of lines of text at the top and bottom, try to make it more unique, maybe add a you tube video and image

    • ok thanks for telling me, i guess i could rewrite it slightly then, maybe finish it off with a paragraph about the author or something
  • Rewrite it as it looks like unique. They give you the permission but how google will know it? Sometimes if you give the actual link along with the article then it is not marked as duplicate. But this is not what we want actually. So, it better to rewrite.

    • Im terrible with grammer and english in general so i think i might run this through TBS or something.

      I only need it rewritten once as i will only be posting it onto my blog and a few article directories so hope TBS wont make it unreadable, i know after spinning an article 100's of times it just produces gibberish.

  • Yes, it is. Try rewriting or spinning it first.
