Google Indexing CC Articles

Post by lissie »

Hi, I have a Google Alert for one of my unsold articles: the text is from the long description of the article. The article in question has been on CC for a couple of weeks - and I just got an Alert - telling me that Google has indexed the page. I thought - though I don't know where I read it - the CC blocked robots from these pages - you should because now the article is indexed - it will be hard to sell it as unique content (the article was written for a requestor who asked for full content so the whole article is now indexed). The page concerned is http://www.constant-content.com/index.p ... ocID=71645

If you are not blocking these pages from indexing buyers should be told to NEVER ask for full text if they want unique content for their site

Thanks for pointing this out. This should not be the case. I've adjusted the code so that Google will not have access to the editing page.

CC does block robots from these pages in general. Google was only able to access it because the page was referenced in a forum post here http://www.constant-content.com/forum/v ... 22&t=13562

If you do find any other issues along these lines please send an email to support@constant-content.com, Thanks.
