3. Pirate Sites or Pirate Matter

Pirate sites and pirate matter are sites which mainly contain out of other - mostly automatically - stolen content without having the permission of the original author or webmaster. It could also be a mirror copy from the same domain, which has also been rated as spam. Sometimes, this is a dangerous game even to honest, straight forward webmasters. For example I run a website where I have two domains leading to it (one with a hyphen within the domain name, one without the hyphen). Of course it was not my intention to spam, but to have both very similar domain names, pointing to the same content, for obvious, legal reasons. Well, unfortunately this was enough for Google to rate this as spam and I had lot´s of trouble to get out of this mess, I can tell!

Solution:
If you cannot manage to keep up with regular fresh content, go to free content and article distribution websites, from which you can grab fresh nad free content at no or low cost. Use content from there, it is totally legal as long as you leave all links within these free articles within it and being active. It is a simple deal with advantages for both, the author and the webmaster copying the content offered. Some good sites with free articles and content for legal downlad are http://www.goarticles.com/ , http://www.az-articles.com/ or http://www.dreamicles.com/ to only mention a few.
