If I unpublish an article here, can I republish it on another site?
Hello, Jo,
I've done this at least twice with my articles. I usually give Google about a month to clear everything while checking for copies and preparing to publish the work.
Should not be any issues. Keep in mind though if you have an article that was ranking on Google it may take some time to be indexed.
Yes, you can. I've done it before Though it might take a while for it to not come up as plagiarism. Give it a few weeks between unpublishing it on HP and republishing it on the new website.
Be sure to check for copies before unpublishing. If you do not, and just republish the same thing and it is copied, your article will be considered a copy.
You are unlikely to get any search traffic if that happens.
Transferring an article is a pain in the neck. I've done it several times.
First, have all stolen copies removed. This not only includes text, but also checking YouTube. Make sure all stolen copies have been removed from Google index before next step.
Second, unpublish your article and instruct Google to also remove that URL from their index.
Give things a few days for the Google "back office" algo to update as well.
If you want to bother, there are the other search engines and your social media accounts.
While waiting for all the above to happen, you have been busy copying, reformatting, and updating the article from the HP location to the new location in draft mode.
Do a last "string search" check. If all clear, then publish at new location.

How long should you wait after you unpublish an article before republishing it on your blog or other website? I mean, so that Google doesn't see it as copied material?

I did hit "delete" and the 3 hubs have a red line through them for about 4 days now. I seem to recall an unpublish button I've used before. I don't understand how to do it out of hubpages mode on webmaster tools. I saw another ask the question too, and they were told you have to do it...

Anybody have any experience with unpublishing a poorly performing hub? Did you see an improvement in your author score? At what Hubscore would you consider unpublishing?

Do you think it is better to unpublish seasonal Hubs? They won't get traffic during the year, so I'm wondering if it would be better to unpublish those until the next season. I am thinking about Christmas Hubs I have written.

Hello,I was wondering if there is a way to unpublish all of my Hubs at once, or deactivating my account. I have been on HubPages for years, but I no longer find it as rewarding or enjoyable as I used to. At the same time, I don't want to close my account because I'm proud of all of the work I've...

I have 8-10 articles that have got zero views over the last 30 days. They normally pick up some views, but this month I noticed they got none. Some are recent articles, others less so. Some have thousands of total views, but none in the last 30 days. So, I have decided to unpublish them for now...
