<p>Thank you for this most informative and necessary article about this subject. I am new to blogs, posts and forums and would like very much to become involved with discussions regarding literary fiction, philosophy and historical fiction. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again, Patrick Middleton</p>

<p>Thanks Gloria. Trust me, the majority do it unintentionally like yourself and we understand that. It's when they don't remove it once they become aware of it nor ask me to do so on their behalf, and continue to post more regardless of the damage it does, that it becomes a problem we need to address. Once it's corrected by people like yourself, then it's fine. I really appreciate your post. Thanks again.</p>

<p>I'd like to ask anyone that spots duplicate content anywhere within the site too to let me know via my inbox please. I've noticed an increase in members that want to post the same thing in numerous places, e.g their blog and the forum and/or a group. Aside from it being boring for members to read the same old thing again and again, that's duplicate content too. So tell me please of any concerns you have. Anything reported to me regarding this or anything on the site for that matter is obviously in confidence. Thanks so much for helping me!</p> Hi Everyone,

<p>Hi Everyone,</p>
<p>I want to be one of the first to offer a public apology on doing this. I, honestly, didn't realize I was doing something that could cast negative light on everyone else/this website. I am so, so sorry for being guilty.</p>
<p>I won't post my blog here... I really didn't know that I couldn't. I'm glad you sent me an email to let me know. I will begin deleting my posts, so, there won't be duplicate posts of my blog.</p>

<p>You are right, I didn't 'intend that action to have negative consequences for Authors.com. I would never do that anywhere... I only want good to be reflected from anything I do. </p>

<p>Today I've been banning people for continuing to spam us with their duplicate content despite this post. Please take a moment to remove or edit any you have up, folks. Because if I find it first, I'll have no alternative but to ban you for all the reasons stated above. We worked too hard to gain our top search engine rankings to lose that ground. Thanks for understanding.</p>

<p>It's hard to judge whether Google would class that as duplicate content. The best thing you can do is what's suggested above. Introduce it in a slightly different way, add a little and link to the rest.</p>

<blockquote><p><span>Quoting a small snippet and linking to the rest is fine, especially if you create a different intro to it when you do. Copy/pasting an entire blog post is not.</span></p>
