Move content to new domain

I want to move content from a penguinized site to a new domain. I've deleted the articles from the old domain, but when I search for part of the content in quotes in Google it appears on some other sites. The whole article doesn't appear, just a section of it such as one paragraph.

In this case, is it important that the content is 100% unique according to a plagiarism checker before posting it on the new domain or is it only a problem if most of the article is appearing on another site?

    You wrote up the content and other people are using parts of it?

    It's not usually a problem.

      Yes, I wrote the content and when I type parts of it in quotes it appears on other sites. I was wondering, if I should rewrite the parts completely that appear on other sites or if it doesn't matter.

    Cooler1,

    Generally Google looks for large blocks of content when taking into account duplicate content. Note that sites are not necessarily penalized when there is duplicate content, it is simply difficult for a bot to recognize which page it should index if both pages have the same content. If its just a paragraph here and there I would not worry about it.

    Here are google’s policies about duplicate content,

    Hope that helps,

    Why did you delete the articles on old domain? You can simply 301 redirect to new domain. Once you do that you can follow the articles in google webmaster tools.

    Hey, what have you done? Why you deleted your articles there? Although, if you have not ranked like your previous site with the new site, you should not delete it. You should redirect to your every pages to the new one and within this time you should rank your new site to the search engine.

    Since you have written the content and others have copied. There is no need to write new content for your new domain. Google will give preference to your content. Just proper redirection is good enough to help your new domain come into rankings. You shouldn't have deleted the articles. Now you will have double work.

    you need to do a 301 redirect from the old domain to the new..

    create new articles but ensure you add google authorship to each of them to identify you as the original author of the article. if it get copied anywhere else that will be classed as the duplicate content and yours the original..

      I deleted the articles from the old domain because the site was affected by the Penguin update. It wasn't just a few pages down the SERPs either. The site wasn't in the top 20-30 pages for it's keywords.

      I can't do that because the old domain has expired now so I no longer own it.

      Don't you mean syndicated content? Duplicate content is when the same content appear on your own site.

    I guess what you are trying to do is redirect, am I right? If you are doing redirect, make sure you don't copy content from old site. Create new content for the old site and then redirect old to new site. I am speaking from personal experience.

      Hello,

      It seems like you should check if your content has been scraped first before putting on a new domain.

      I checked one of my articles and someone has copied it entirely to their site and slightly changed some of the words. I don't think I can use that article on the new site because it isn't just a small part of it they stole.

        See now stuff like this really pisses me off, should send 30,000 profile links to his site. I would normally never hurt another IMer's site but come on, stealing content.

        Edit: I just moved all my articles from one of my old blogger sites to new wordpress site it was extremely easy. I don't know if a redirect is the answer if the site has been penalized. I looked into it a while back and some people think you will redirect the penalty to the new site, idk.

          I've also found that other articles have been copied. I ran them through a plagiarism checker, but it only found small parts of the article on certain websites, but then when I typed part of the article in quotes in Google it found a site that scraped about 60% of it.

          I guess the article can't be put on a new site? The odd paragraph scraped might be OK, but not that much.

          I found that someone made a review site with the WP review theme which has been used over and over again (colleen theme I think?) and they've scraped my reviews and slightly changed the wording. The lazy bloody gits.

            Damn, that's messed up man, I don't know what I would do if somebody did that to me. I don't write but pay for my content so it would be a big financial loss.

            I don't understand why different people stole your content.

              I've seen another site also where someone took my article. They are using a trademarked brand name in the domain name. Do you know where I can report them? Will the domain likely get taken down?

              I looked at the ICANN website, it mentions about filing a complaint about a site which uses your own trademark, but it doesn't mention about reporting a site which uses a trademark you don't own.
