Moving articles here

   I have several articles I wrote on another site that I am working on moving here. I have unpublished the articles on the other site. However when I google a snip of the articles it still shows in google results (though you can't get to it once clicked). I tried publishing one here today and it is not featured, I am guessing because it looks like I copied someone else's article? So how long after unpublishing from another site before I can move it here and get it featured? I'd really like to get most of my work on HP.
   
   I will include my article link for both sites here in case there are any questions. Hopefully one won't be able to be gotten to since on my website it appears to have been unpublished on my end.

      It could take up to 48 hours in some cases, probably even more for an article to go through QAP and get featured.

      make sure you ask Google to delete the hub by using Webmaster Tools to do so.  That way they know you are not duplicating.

   In order to be sure that it does not get rejected for being duplicate content, check both Google and Bing every day after deleting the original. When you see that it is no longer indexed, then go ahead and publish it on HubPages. I’ve done that in the past and never had a problem. It can take several days or even a week or two until search engines update and remove deleted content from their SERPs.

   It's not a quick process but worth it in the long run. Good luck!

   Be warned: there are several unscrupulous bloggers out there that may have snatched your articles from the previous site. Case in point, I used to write for a defunct site years ago. I began moving some of those article over here. when the site's demise was announced. However, within years of reposting them, I was getting notifications that there were duplicates. In some cases, I was prevented from reposting an article because it was deemed a duplicate within hours publishing it.
   It turned out that several plagiarists had culled the previous site for articles, waited two to three years to publish them on their site (in one case, the writer added a section to the stolen article (a short story) and claimed how he was inspired to write the story).
   I found at least two sites that have nothing but articles from this particular defunct site I used to write for. At last count, they stole upwards to 100 articles of mine.
   i went through DCMA, but it was only for a handful of articles. In truth, trying to take down these sites are not easy and is time consuming. 
   The best advice I can give you is to take the article and rewrite it to the point they're basically new (including the headline). It's tedious, but you'll probably have a better article to emerge from it than what you had on the previous site.

      Can you stop giving out advice that is incorrect? It IS possible to move articles from previous sites here as long as they are no longer indexed by Google. And you won't get banned.

   That is why you should read the HP guides, so you know the correct information. True. You can't copy and paste from "other" people's websites, but copy and paste from yours is fine because you wrote it, and it is no longer live on the former website.
