Article question re: duplicate content

28 Apr 07 2:24 pm

If you put it on your website first and wait 'til the page gets indexed, then submit it - you're the originator and others are using your content, so you'll be okay. Personally, I'm not a big fan of submitting an article exactly as I have it on my site though. I prefer to modify it slightly, especially the title, before submitting to an article directory - I figure I'll get more mileage out of it that way... maybe someone else has a different opinion though.

I would change it a little bit... reword a couple paragraphs.

How would you go about moving it all to a different site without the search engines thinking you'de copied someone else's entire site :?:

You would have to reword it at least 50%.

Therefore that content will no longer be on the internet anymore and posting it on another site/page will be treated as new. I'm not really an expert at this, i have no idea if that works.

That's an interesting concept although I don't think it would pass.... once the crawler reads it... it's read...... plus your page would now show nothing and it would hurt the site... unless you did a 301 on the page... it's a lot of work....

I say just reword it :)
