Would adding a news page hurt my site ranking ?

[Pzabarko]

Hi Mozers

I was thinking about adding an industry news page where we would post articles written by others but give proper citation and linking.

Would a page like this hurt my SEO ?

Thank You

Hi Pzabarko,

An industry news page can be a great addition to any website if the content is handled professionally. If your page is cultivated with value-adding, well-cited content, then this will likely help your website in a variety of SEO factors. However, if your news page consists of little more than quoted (and subsequently, duplicated) content and does not add beyond the content derived from other sources, then Google will more likely see the page simply as duplicate content
