Even Famous Bloggers Copy Content! Let us know How.
Being Bloggers we know how much importance is given to Original Content and Unique content! But is it really so, that all great Bloggers have unique content on their Blogs? NO! Many-a-times, even they copy content from other blogs, but they have a different style of doing it. Because of this, it often goes unnoticed that the content is copied. Let us understand how do they do it and what they do to avoid getting caught!
From lesser known Bloggers
Accept the fact, that even new blogs or some blogs with very less traffic have some great content on them! Only because they don’t optimize their blogs for their readers, they are unnoticed. Great bloggers, copy content from them and modify or add a few more points to their article and publish a great article on their Blog without giving any credit to the Blogger who has infact written about it.
Combining two or more Articles
Famous bloggers often do a job of getting a hundred ideas from different places and organizing it in a better and Understandable way, so that they are able to convey a big message in just a single Post!
They take two-three good articles and combine their content to create a Good Mixture of their content. This helps in sharing a lot of ideas in a better way.
Writing about any new technology and Controversial Topics
Do you really think that the Reviews written by then are in fact true? Most of them get paid to write the Reviews of products by Big Companies.
Also, the reviews of the latest softwares and Hardware coming up, written by them are mostly copied content from other popular blogs. Now, you may question how do I say this! The simple reason being they don’t really have access to the Latest products, so how can they write a review on it. They edit reviews from various websites and Create a review for themselves.
Note: The points I have mentioned here are true to my knowledge and Not all great Bloggers are observed following these techniques, But most of them Do. I have personally caught 2-3 of them doing this, So this post! Even many of us Copy content/Get inspired by some content, I would request all to give credit to the original article. thanks!

Nice article! When any blogger copy any idea of a blogger and gives a backlink to the original one then its not known as copying post.
Copy is simply crime, but having inspiration from some article and giving credit to the original one is really very good for the blog world.
Its perfect for search engines too. Search engines love these kind of articles.

That’s 100% true.
People will believe that those big bloggers are the real writers even if a less known blogger claims that it is his article.

I definitely feel what you said is true, I have actually found out such articles on big blogs. I don’t wish to quote their names here, but definitely what you are saying is true. And I feel most annoying when they don’t give credit to the hardworking new bloggers.

@Tejaswini: It really irritates me when Popular bloggers don’t give credits to the emerging bloggers. Even if I have found such blogs but I am not comfortable disclosing their names here.

You are right. When a famous blogger copies from lesser known blogger it is known as he is adding values to the post and blah blah blah……….

This is true but the thing impress me is the way they present it. I often wonder how they see a content which we can’t in the same thing. They really have a eye of creativity that’s why we obey them.

Getting PLR articles rewritten by infamous spinners. That’s one of the way the famous bloggers do produce content on a regular basis.

This is why original content is hard to find, when you created one and if it’s popular enough, there’s bound to be a clone. I just hope people can be more respective of others’ work, if you liked an article and would love to write something similar, be creative and tell the story your way, NEVER word for word.

Totally agree with you, I guess content keep on rotating and titles keep on changing. It is always better to use your mind before copying other’s articles.

That’s a nice way of generating content for my blogs. I’ll most definitely give it a try.
Of late I’ve been having some difficulty in sourcing great posts for my blogs.

I’m pretty sure everyone copies / does copy content at some point for some use.
That’s a good way of content generation, I might try it out.

Rightly said but I just never understand these things and credit giving. In real terms, every work is inspiration of other. At the summest point of practicality, every work is just your own. If you really have aptitude of great writing full of research, you are rewarded but this doesn’t mean your writing is all yours.
About giving credit, it all depends on generosity of a person and not every1 is generous. At present only one thing values, the real value. If you have quality, you’ll outshow every other thing. Everything is fair in fair world of Blogging. Happy Blogging!!!

Rewriting needs some experience. I’m not against, but don’t want my text to be “copy-paste-ed”

I couldn’t stop LOL. interesting post. I agree with you. But it’s very difficult now a days as there are many efficient softwares which can detect plagiarism even if you’ve manipulated the content.

While I won’t say that this doesn’t happen. But, still I am yet to see a reputed blogger like Darren Rowse or John Chow copying a small blogger’s post. I would love to be proved wrong. Can you show some examples of such lifted/copied/enhanced posts?

@TechChunks: I personally have experience such issues when I was on Blogger and from a great Blogger(I won’t like to Disclose the name here)

Most of the time the source of the original content is shed by the modifications layer per layer as information travels on the Web 3.0 & internet.
I think most of the bloggers who visit your blog are lurkers.

Better call them as “Re”Blogs, Nicely written Rohit. I fully agree with all the points especially reviews of new products, they are just edits.

I have to admit that when I’m doing gadget reviews, I read other people reviews as well to get more ideas and test whether what they say is true.
This way I can really review thoroughly to see if I have missed anything important about a product

I actually think it’s an honor if your content is copied by bigger blog as long as you get mentioned or a backlink in the post.

I totally agree what you said, but i rather hate those small bloggers that copy 100% without their own idea. Those “combine work” do need time. And i think we should give credit to the small blogger.
Rohit Sane

@WebPageLottery: You are correct, but it really hurts when you don’t get the link back to your website!
@Elvin: This is what I am talking about, We need to give credit to whoever we copy content from.

Thats what everyone does , no one knows the latest develpoment in the society so people have to take inspiration from other bloggers

I think everyone copies content. And of course well-known bloggers get away with it, well because they are well-known. But every time I write an article I also try to find articles from other people to link to. I find it always useful to see the opinion of other people on the topic you write about.
