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.

How much should I pay for one hour of content creation work?

Hi I have recently been looking for some new content creators to work with. And I recently asked a blogger that I know of how much he would charge for some content creations. I told him that I'm looking for some good compelling content that is about 400 to 500 words. And he told me that he would charge $180 an hour. I sorta feel like that's a bit to much, but I don't want to jump to conclusions without any advice from you all. I'm very well versed in my SEO and do most of the work for my site. But I think a fresh touch would really be helpful.

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?

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?
