if you dont know what to write in your blog but you want your blog to have good content. can you copy content from another cited blog?

You can quote another blog and then write your own content/opinion surrounding it, but I wouldn't simply "copy" a blog. It can get you into legal trouble, get your site penalized by the search engines (dup content) ...plus it's just plain rude.

If you don't know what to write, it's best not to have a blog. Instead, you may want to consider creating an aggregator site like inform.com ...but with longer article descriptions so you will have content to to index.

I think you can not copy another blog. You might land up in legal troubles. But you can quote others by either clearly showing the source of the content or having a link connected there.

In case you are looking for contents I suggest you can try the services of organizations who will do that more professionally.

Yes, you can copy OTHERS' materials and put it your own blog without their permissions ONLY IF you like to stay the rest of your life in courts and/or Jail! :hammer:

Just kidding...
But seriously... If you copy somone's materials and add them at your blog then you are heading into serous troubles.

You can only do this if you have their permissions, or if they tell you that you can use their articles/posts...etc...

I once heared that some publishers who have RSS channels to distribute their contents... they become VERY angry when their contents are "gathered" and put into blogs or/and anywhere else.

They say, that they only want to distribute it via RSS channels ...

Don't shoot the messenger!

You can quote other people's blogs and link back to them but copying them isn't the best idea.

yes as stated, if you choose to copy them exactly with out credit you may be in huge trouble by those who find out. also it doesnt show any respect or even professionalism

And do you know guys? Google or other search engine hates such blogs. Because of the duplicate contents.

I killed a man... and his dog, for copying my blog.

Yes you can do whatever you want, this is the internet. I have various blogs that I never post to and simply copy content from others webpages WITH their permission. Essentially this is all a blog reader is.. it copies content from RSS feeds and sydicates it. If anyone tells you it's illegal, they'd first have to take down google's blog reading service. GOOD LUCK!

You cannot just copy and paste other's blog or content. You might face legal problems for that later. I suggest you can consider hiring the services of a professional company who will provide you with the contents in no time. That is what many are doing. If you need further information you can PM me also.
