Hollis Thomases, our president & CEO, writes for ClickZ on a biweekly basis and is a well-known expert there on the subject of online marketing. When we republish her articles on this site, we always include a ClickZ byline and original publication date, with a link back to the original ClickZ article.

Duplicate content you need to look out for are those items that do not give any credit whatsoever to the original author, or do not provide any links back to the source.

I’m a bit confused about the duplicate content rule and I wish someone had a good answer. On this site it seems some articles were also published on ClickZ. Would that constitute duplicate content?

Also, people can check out www.copyscape.com to see if there is duplicate out there. Great article, by the way.

Funny (?) story about this. Was recently requested to provide a link to a new job search resource (my site is a directory of 11,000+ links with 250 articles). Always check out a site before adding it! Proposed site had 4 articles copied from my site without permission, plus many other articles (assume copied from other sites).

And, they wanted me to link to their site with my content on it. Eh? NOT A CHANCE!
