Hi there,
I'd like to ensure I avoid a duplicate content penalty and could do with some advice.
There is a popular blogger in my industry. I have agreed to add his blog to my website. He currently posts his blog on one of the popular free blogger platforms, and will continue to do this.
The issue is that I will be posting duplicate content onto my site and I want to ensure that I do not trigger a google penalty.
Is there a simple way form me to inform Google of the original source of the content.
My intitial thoughts are:
1. Add a noindex to the Robots.txt file
2. Add a link at the beginning of the article pointing to the original source
3. Adding a rel=canonical tag in the header of each blog entry pointing to the original blog post which resides on a completely different domain.
Thanks
DBC
