There are to many guys who doesn’t want to work but get rewarded for somebodies work. Theses guys are just not confident on their abilities or they are seeking a shortcut to earn money and fame in short time.
For all those who copy the posts and credits from other websites, “You guys think that you are safe but you are not”.

There is no actual advantage of copying posts expect disadvantages.

For CopyCats

Here’s my notes for those guys who post copied content:

• It is really not fair to steal someones article to earn money or to get fame or for any reason.
• Search engines can easily determine a copied content and hence remove all the pages from its index for search results..
• If you are on Blogger/Blogspot, then Google has right to completely delete our blog without any questions or warning message. as a results all the other hard-work and time you spended will be lost.
• Mainly users will loose the faith in your blog or website when they find a copied post.
• If someone asks any doubts or qustions on that particular post then you will not be able to answer any of them, Because you know nothng about that, since it is not your work. You may need to refer to the original authors website to get an answer.
• Google and almost every search engine hates duplicate contents. As a results you will loose the Page Rank as penalty.
