How does offline-to-online plagiarism work?
-
I'm in a situation where content is getting muddled up with my client.
Explanation
- **Website A (client) **releases a press release offline;
- **Website B (third party news website) **uploads this release to their blog;
- 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.

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?

Google authorship works on posts, but not on root domain.
When I check Google authorship via the tool Google provides, it says I am confirmed for individual posts, but not for my root domain. I’m using WordPress, and individual posts are fine, but not the blog as a whole. I am the only author… and have given it a week, thinking perhaps it needed time... but no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you!!

Online Publisher networks (Splash Press) Question
Hi, If you can get into a network as a writer it's great because you can expose your brand on high auth websites without the hassle of having to build a relationship with each site - once your in, your into all the websites on the network. So question is, isn't this going to be bad for SEO, I assume all the websites are on the same server and I have seen some where they interlink in the network. Apart from that though they look really great, good fresh content, high DA/PA, lots of social activity etc. A couple I have come across are: Splash Press & Alloy Digital (If you know of any more please post them up).

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?
