I wrote for Bukisa a while back. This website has since closed down and I would like to edit and use one of my posts to create a new hub. To my knowledge they have been off the internet for a year or so. Is this permissable? I don't want to be penalized for 'copied content.'
Thanks.
Do a google search to make sure whether or not it is showing in search results. If it is, then the cached page will somehow need to be removed from Google search to avoid duplicate content. If it can't be found by typing in the original title then you're free to use it on here.
Actually, titles are one of the only things that might get changed in a stolen article, so that's a search strategy that might not work. Also, many people don't have very unique titles so a title search can return a lot of garbage.
You want to search for a unique sentence or paragraph section. A good little chunk of text.
Thank you for your help. Appreciate it very much.
It is sometimes hard to use content from other sites. We might be the author, but Google is tough now on content. They are known to pull the rug, from writers who wouldn't even know what struck them. Probably, if you can edit it so it becomes new content, would be a better alternative.
Yes, I plan on editing the entire post. Thank you.

My whole hub can be seen on two different sites. Though they gave a link to my hub at the bottom. But who is going to click the link after reading the article. Is it not copied content issue?Please see the link---http://gogurugo.com/article/carrot-deli …...

I haven't tried to have a plagiarized page removed from Google search since the change to the niches. How do we prove ownership if we no longer have access to webmaster tools for our pages? My recent request was rejected on this basis:'Thanks for reaching out to us.It is unclear to us whether or...

As hubbers, we know that our content can and will be copied. We file DMCA complaints. We try to use CopyScape. We try to sign up for Google alerts.Is there any other way to help protect our content BEFORE it happens, rather than suffering the after-effects of losing Google traffic and having...

This week i have noticed a massive reduction of traffic from 1200 to 300 views per day. When I searched Google, I found that most of the Hubs have reduced Google ranking. The Most disheartening thing is pages that over take me in Google search are in fact advertisements and few sentence pages. In...

The way that HP uses affiliate is unique among larger sites that rely heavily on natural search.Here individual affiliate ads are scattered through the site in a pretty random way. On other sites affiliate ads are avoided altogether or grouped in special sections ('the shop', 'reviews').It is easy...
