Many webmasters, in the process of operating a website, will have the idea of collecting articles from other people's websites and put them into action if there is really no original article produced.
There are even some webmasters who have not planned to write their own articles since the beginning of the website, and all the articles on the website come from collection.

So, have you ever thought that collecting articles from other people's websites is illegal?
For many webmasters, they don't really like articles on their own websites to be collected by others, because the main source of website traffic is search engines. For an article with the same content, Baidu only includes the release page of your website, so others can only search for it can only be read on your website, which means only bringing traffic to your website.
When an article with the same content is included by Baidu on the publishing pages of multiple websites, it is equivalent to dispersing most of the traffic on your website. Even some websites that reprint your article have a higher ranking in Baidu search than your website, which makes you feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, from the perspective of webmasters who provide original article content, no one wants their website content to be collected.
So from the perspective of webmasters who collect articles on other people's websites, collecting is very cool. When others write articles, they can write at most four or five original articles a day. And if you collect articles through collection software, you can remove all other people's articles on an entire website in almost a day.
Carrying articles from one station today, carrying articles from one station tomorrow, over time, a website with a large database was born.
However, search engines do not encourage this practice. If a website is filled with a large amount of collected content, even if the search engine includes it, it will not give corresponding search rankings.
However, the algorithm of search engines also has loopholes, and there will be people who miss the net when it comes to encirclement and suppression of collection-type websites. Some websites specialize in collecting articles that others have just published. Others have just published them one second ago, but they will collect them the next.
Although the website that originally published the content first, the time before the website that collected the article collected the content was short, and it was not certain whose website content was regarded by the search engine spider as original.
As a result, it appeared that it was clearly an article that collected content, but the search engine ranked first of the original article website.
Originally, information on the Internet is publicly shared. If articles on other people's websites do not clearly state copyright information, you can collect and publish it.
However, when the act of collecting is abused, it greatly infringes on the rights and interests of the original author. In addition to declaring copyright information in the article, the original author will also protect copyright through other methods. For example, some original authors not only publish articles on websites, but also publish articles in journals, or publish articles that have signed original declaration agreements on other websites with particularly strict copyright protection.
First of all, the copyright protection of articles published in journals is very strict. On the premise that the original author's articles have not been bought out, except for the original author who can publish them on the website, any reprint and publish them on other websites can be held liable. And here, the original author and publisher can hold you accountable together.
Let's talk about what it means to publish an article that has signed an original declaration agreement on other websites with particularly strict copyright protection, such as today's headlines orWeixin Official AccountsIf you publish an article, you can sign an original statement.
The advantage of signing an original statement is that Today's Headline or WeChat public platform will use big data to retrieve whether your article is an original article. If it is confirmed that it is an original article, the copyright information will be retained for your article. Except for the original author who published it on other platforms, all other people need authorization to reprint it, otherwise it will be illegal.
Having said all this, it can be summarized in one sentence that it is illegal to collect other people's articles that have copyright notices or copyright protection.
Do website, still need down-to-earth, content is king.
Some smart people have said, is it illegal for me to collect articles that are public information on the Internet and have no copyright declaration or copyright protection?
Of course, this is not illegal, but if you collect it, others can also collect it. In this way, these public Internet information will be reproduced on various websites to the extent that it is flooded. Search engines can accurately determine that you are the one who collected it and will not give you search ranking.
So, what is the significance of your collection?
But why are there still so many people engaged in collecting now?
There are only two types of people:
1. The courageous webmaster who specializes in collecting high-quality original articles from others and doesn't care whether the articles are copyrighted.
In fact, the original authors and websites of most articles have a weak awareness of rights protection, and even if they are collected, they will not sue the collecting website at all, resulting in many people in this group.
Even, prosecuting the collection website is not completely successful.
For example: Qidian Chinese Network sued Biquge. The entire network is a "Biquge" website. A certain treasure can hire someone to build a Biquge website for 50 yuan, and most people do not know how to build a website under their real names. How can Qidian Chinese Network sue?
2. A webmaster who doesn't care about the quality of the article and only works on pseudo-originality.
What is pseudo-originality is to collect other people's articles, split them up, and then put them together to generate an "original article." However, such an article is nonsense, the next sentence does not follow the previous sentence, and cannot be read and understood by others, so it is called pseudo-originality.
Although pseudo-original articles cannot be read, search engines do not know about them. They only treat them as a normal original article. They not only include them, but also list some keyword rankings and traffic in the article.
However, search engines are not so stupid. You can fool them in the short term, and they can judge the quality of your content based on how long users stay on your site.
If the quality of your content is very high, users won't just stay on your page for a few seconds. On the contrary, if users only read it for a few seconds and face an article that makes no sense, they will be so angry that they will close the webpage and leave.
By analyzing the behavior of visitors, the search engine will ultimately conclude that this is a spam website that visitors don't like to watch, and cancel the ranking of most of your keywords.
With the rankings gone, traffic naturally decreased.
So, what is the significance of such a spam website?
Such websites are generally used for posting or selling vulgar advertisements.
After all, when the website was first launched, there was a wave of traffic, and it could take the opportunity to place vulgar advertisements to gain revenue.
Selling websites is to sell them to buyers in need at a high price before search engines detect cheating.
There are two types of buyers here:
The first type of person: Xiaobai, pure Xiaobai, listened to others tricked him into buying a website with high authority.
The second type of person: people in gray industries, used to place vulgar advertisements suspected of violating laws and regulations.
Speaking of which, you should understand that we neither encourage you to buy spam websites nor encourage you to sell spam websites.
The act of buying spam websites is equivalent to being cheated of money, and the act of selling spam websites is promoting illegal crimes.
