Guy...Please let's not derail the topic. Can we just leave the messenger and concentrate on the message.

I think if the copied post is adequately referenced i.e if the owner is acknowledged by way of 'hyperlinking' the original post...then you are good to go. Just my thought...I may be wrong though.

Contrary to what most people think, Google ordinarily won't do anything to your blog for copying and pasting from other websites. However, if any of the websites you copied from should report you to them, they would remove all your pages from their rankings. But they still won't pull down your blog or do anything to it. So, if you're not expecting any traffic from Google, you can fire on.

Note, even if the website you copied from doesn't report you, you'll never get traffic from Google for copied post because the original owner of the content gets indexed first. That way, Google knows you're not the owner of the content, and there's no point duplicating results by ranking yours too.

However, if the website you copied from reports you to your hosting company, the company can pull down your blog because it's domiciled with them. That's if the hosting company is in the the US or other developed countries where copyright is taken seriously. In any case, they won't do that until after warning you to delete all copied posts.

So, if you're not looking at Google for traffic, you're free to copy and paste, but you'd do well to include a link to the source. In reality however, copy-and-paste blogging makes zero sense. Look at this: If you copy a news item from Punch's website, would you still expect me to read it on your own blog after already reading it on the source website?

It's either you find a way to craft unique content or go home. Not blogging at all is better than copy-and-paste blogging that fetches zero results, except for those who can invest heavily in other traffic strategies, most of which are poorly understood by beginners.

Your posts/comments are always exceptionally sensible.

Check the penalty for plagiarism.....

Wot are d implications nd remedy for early application for adsense for a blog with insufficient data. If not approved how long does it take b4 you can apply again. Tnx lukin forward to ur response

Copy cats are liable to die young. If anyone copies from my blog @[url] www.crmnigeria.com[/url]. Thunder will fire that person. To me, as someone have rightly said, if you are not expecting traffic from Google, continue copying.

Please, stop the insult and just heed correction. we don't need to fight one another here. We are all brothers and sisters to the Glory of God.

I really appreciate everyone for the comments and contributions. Those that criticized contructively and destructively, I appreciate u all.

Copy and paste cannot end because almost everybody copy and paste including nairaland and lindaikejiblog.

Most of you are just discussing copying and pasting without referring to Nairaland.

Tell me, what about all those news copied from other sites and pasted here daily? Is there applications?
