I'm in a situation where content is getting muddled up with my client.

Explanation
1. **Website A (client) **releases a press release offline;
2. **Website B (third party news website) **uploads this release to their blog;
3. Website A then uploads this release to their blog.
Q1: Who will Google see as the original creator of this content?

Q2: If **Website A **and Website B upload the content at the same time, who will Google see as the original creator?

Any advice on these questions would be highly appreciated.

Plagiarism - Tools Do Not Tell Source of Dulpication

Hi There, To check if content on my site is plagiarized or not, i copy it from my site and then paste the text in tools available online. They highlight the green text as UNIQUE and in red as PLAGIARIZED. When I click the plagiarized content to see which OTHER SITE is using the same content as that of mine, it leads me to the pages of my own site. I am confused on this. Where is the other site. Can somebody help how to find the other sites online that have similar content as that of mine. Or there is some fault in my understanding?? Thanks

We Just Found Out One Of Our Writers Has Been Plagiarizing - Now What?

I just found out one of the writers we employ has been simply copying and pasting content from other websites into our clients' websites. She's been doing this for about six weeks. We are going to speak with our clients to apologize and let them know that the problem is being rectified, but my question is how to best address this issue from an SEO standpoint? I know that the content needs to be rewritten, but those links are now six weeks old - is it best to remove them altogether and start from scratch, or just rewrite the content under the old link? Are there any steps that I'm missing to solve this?

I work on a uk decorating website with five of our own bloggers all of which reside on the home page of the website on their own separete blogging urls as sub domains - is this a good idea or would google not like this from an seo point of view?

Should blogs that are part of an overall content site be on separate sites and link in or is it ok to promote them as content on the home page of the site and take users off to their own url to view the site. Is this good practise for seo?

My Boss tells me personal narrative content isn't read online and bad for SEO, anyone else disagree? b/c I do!

I am in a constant debate that content 1st person or 3rd person doesn't make a difference in terms of SEO and what people on the web want to read. What do you all think? Does it make a difference?

301 redirect not working

I setup a wordpress blog about 6 months ago called Infographic Directory on this URL: http://infographicdirectory.wordpress.com and less then a week after I set it up I was #1 on Google for infographic directory and my posts were ranking reasonably well. Because the blog was quite successful and got nearly quarter of a million visitors in the first few months I decided to take it a bit more seriously and purchased a proper domain name: http://infographic-directory.com I set up a proper 301 redirect about 6 weeks ago but my rankings are still terrible - worst then ever. I am getting outranked on Google for infographic directory by my Crunchbase.com listing for the blog name: infographic directory and my blog posts are not showing up in the rankings at all. Should I just be patient or do you think I might have been hit with a penalty or something?
