Effects Of Plagiarism On Blog

Blogging is all about being original and being creative, but at times many users who comes online just to make money, or not so morally matured, they bluntly copy-paste other work to make money for them, or use it for different purpose. Plagiarism in general english means “Illegal form of copying”. It could be a blog post, an image, a person photo or anything.

Now, it doesn’t matter who is copying our blog

post, it’s our task to protect our blog from these copy-paste blogger. One major reason to protect us from plagiarism is to keep the credit with us. One question you should ask yourself is:

Would you like someone to take credit of your hours of work?
Or someone else getting traffic on his blog, because of your work, without any credit to you?

If you relies on Google search for traffic, Google is smart to find such website which copy-paste other works, and usually your content will not be outranked. But, this is not true 100% of time.

By the end, you can ask any other questions related to this topic. Build quality content by applying Blog Content Building Strategies.

Blog Plagiarism may effect your search engine ranking. It might be possible that original post may slip down in search engine results. It may effect your blog SEO.But the probability of such an occurrence is very low because search engine algorithm are very efficient, so chances of copied content of becoming the top spot is very low and it might be possible that search engine would count them as spam and never index them in the search engine.

I added links to spam reporting pages of some of the popular services like BlogSpot, WordPress and few more, which can be use to report copied content to particular services. Almost all the web-services (Ex: Tumblr, WordPress.com, BlogSpot.com) takes plagiarism as a serious offence, and if enough information is provided via their spam report/DMCA page, copied article will be immediately taken down.
