Do I need to copyright my free resource PDF?
-
Hello,
We're creating a free resource on how to choose a product for our niche. I'm trying to make this as non-commercial as possible, but in light of competition using it, do I need to put a copyright statement at the very bottom of the pdf?
-
If it's a resource that you pride yourself in creating then yes. Copyrighting this would only run you about $30 so it is always worth it in the long run. It's always better to protect yourself. Or at the very least, put the copyright symbol at the bottom like you mentioned, just to scare off anyone from ripping you off.

If my blog is on Wordpress, and I've installed the AMP plug-in, what do I need to do to get Google to start indexing all my posts as AMP pages?
If I add /amp to the end of any of my posts, I can see that the plug-in is working. It's been months since I installed it, though, and Google hasn't indexed any of the AMP pages. Am I missing a step?

How much content is needed
I have two clients whose websites have landing pages that feature a number of product links. In order to meet SEO/Google best practices, do I need to have additional content on these specific pages or will the links suffice?

Can free article sites damage my reputation
Hi i have been submitting a lot of fresh articles on free article sites and they have been picked up which is good but my problem is, i am finding loads of these sites who have picked up my article using some sort of article rewrite programme and my articles look like they have now been written by a two year old. I want to know if this is going to spoil my reputation and i would like to know why people use these programmes when they do not even make sense.
