You could have just provided the link you copy and pasted this content from. Would've saved you some time.

Here's the one Im talking about [URLnf="http://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors"]here[/URLnf]

Not a complete copy and paste but what you did is unoriginal and not allowed either.

THanks

Just checked copyscape and it didn't have duplicated content from link you sent in post above

Some terms in SEO was not changed because it need to keep the original.

I don't care about copyscape, I care about the original content creator seeing your post. If I know what source you got it from, he's gonna know what post you got it from! You didn't give the original content creator his proper respects and you should've quoted him!

Just because you rearranged it means nothing!

I have probably read every article on the web about IM and I am not the only one. If someone as experienced as I am comes here and sees that post, they are going to know that it's a copy and paste!

PLUS it is not original and not complete. Just don't do it again. I didn't give you an infraction and I didn't remove anything. Just watch it.

Come up with original content from here on out.

Thanks

Awesome list that you have provided. Thanks. Didn't know that the number of Facebook likes and Twitter followers counted so important for getting ranks. Thanks again.

Though the content may be copied but it may be worthy for people who are new and don't have access to such points. Also its quite unprofessional if the credit is not given to the original curator.
