          I write a monthly Social Media Marketing column for a local Business Journal and the column is printed in their paper as well as posted on their website. Is there any way I can repost these articles on my website's blog without being penalized by Google for "duplicate content"?

            Hi Victoria - I'd agree with Kane. You won't be penalised but you probably won't get much value for these pages. It's a good idea to link to the original publisher to be on the safe side.

              You won’t be penalized for using someone else’s content on your website but it is always ethical to let people know about the original resource of content may be in the form of a link at the end of the post.

                You won't be penalized for publishing someone else's content on your site, however if it's published elsewhere first, your site probably won't get as much value for it. You'll always be in a fight with the other version for which one is seen as the original, and there's a good chance you'll lose against a local publication with a more authoritative website.

                Ideally when I republish content from one source or another I'll partially quote the original article and then link to it. If I have to republish the whole thing, I'll start with a credit, such as "This article is republished from the original at LocaBusinessJournal.com/article-url/"

                    Does google penalize you if you post content in french and english on a website

                    I'm trying to encourage content editors to only  post content in either English or French. For example we have a French press release but the team are wanting it on our site in French and English.  I thought this would fall under duplicate content rules. Does google penalize you if you post content in French and English on a website?

                    I want to use some content that I sent out in a newsletter a while ago - adding it as a blog to my website. The newsletter exists on a http://myemail.constantcontact.com URL and is being indexed by Google. Will this count as duplicate content?

                    Any Idea who i can contact at Google Finance?

                    Hi Everyone, I run a popular news site and we are already working with Yahoo Finance, CNN, USA Today, CNBC, etc...
                    The one site we really also want to start working with is Google Finance - but there is no way as far as i can see of getting in touch with them. Our content is the best in our sector and every news site we pitch we almost always start a relationship with - i just need an in. Does anyone know who to contact or how to get in touch with them? Thanks for any advice. James

                    Is there a tool for measuring content freshness?

                    i.e. crawling a site to identify last date of new or changed content? Thanks.

                    Publishing on sites with greater domain authority

                    Hello, I had an idea, probably not original: While my website is still gaining domain authority, I was thinking about publishing articles in a website with great domain authority that allows articles from third parties. This way the article's relevance + domain authority of the site would result in a better position on Google for the article I write and with proper links, I can attract people to my website. This would be a temporary strategy until my website's domain authority increases. Any suggestions on how to do this? Where can I publish articles to attract people to my website (except blogs)? Thanks a lot.

                    My WebSite has two sections with overlapping, or redundant articles on the same topics. Google is only listing one or the other article in Search Results. What should I do to have both pages (similiar but unique content ) to be listed?
