What will Panda part 3 do to limit duplicate content? If I excerpt a sentence in my reply, does my post get blocked? If I write a technical article and quote (with attribution) the source, will that get my whole article flagged as duplicate?
“f I excerpt a sentence in my reply, does my post get blocked? If I write a technical article and quote (with attribution) the source, will that get my whole article flagged as duplicate?”
I would guess not. I’m referencing the theme of this story - a stupid judge ruling that lifting an entire article is “fair use.” That gives a green light to content and article scrapers. These A-holes will copy entire web pages, optimize them for adsense and steal money using your work. In my mind, that’s equivalent to copying a current best seller, printing it and selling them on the street without giving the author his cut.
Keep in mind, though, that I don’t speak for Google. Who knows what these Google dipwads will do. The Panda 1 release destroyed thousands and thousands of small businesses relying on adsense for income and destroyed thousands more who were affiliate sellers.
We’re seeing fascism in action. Google pulled a fast one and funneled at least one billion dollars in adsense to the dying media, like the NYT, at the expense of thousands of small businesses that were beating the dinosaur media at their own game. Google’s fingerprints are all over this shadey deal. At the least, Google violated anti-trust laws and needs to be broken into a dozen pieces, while Google board members and the CEO serve a long time in prison. But Google is in bed with the fascist obuma, so nothing will happen.
It will eventually come down to states and their citizens taking direct action against these thieving elitist pigs occupying Washington.
Oops! I’m on my soapbox. Better stop now.
