Most beginner bloggers commit this mistake and fill their blogs by copying and pasting content from other blogs and websites. In this post, I will  explain 4 disastrous results which may hit your blog if you copy and paste content from other blogs to maintain it.



1. Google Will Ignore You

You are well aware about the fact that Google decides the fate of blogs and websites. If you succeed in driving traffic from the search engines Giant, then success is yours. But if your blog is full of copied and pasted content, Google may ignore it. Remember that Google aims to deliver fresh and quality content to the searchers and if your blog contains the content, which is already there on other sources and Google’s indices, then Google may ignore to even index it.

So to gain higher rankings in SERPs and to drive more traffic from Google, you must write your own content. Copying and pasting will never bring you even a minor success, alternatively it will drop rankings of your blog greatly.


2. You May Lose Your Blog

This disadvantage is specific to Blogger users. When you spend less time on post editor and complete your posts quickly by copying and pasting content from other sources, Google may delete your blog and copying/pasting of content is among the biggest reasons which result in Blogger blog deletion.

3. Copied Content isn’t Loved

Your visitors don’t need the content to read which is already there on the Internet. When you copy content from any other source, it is most likely to be read by your readers already.

To bring more visitors and to retain them on your blog, always write fresh and interesting content. Analyze your visitors and write what they love to read. Remember that your blog audience visits your blog to read your own opinions, not what others say.


4. DMCA Take Down – Yes its Possible
