Use old content from Archive

[MennoO]

Hello all,

I just were looking on Archive.org and though what if i use the content from a really old website thats already been un-indexed. Could i just use this content on my new website and will it not be duplicate content?

Thank you for your comment!

Kind regards,

Hi Menno,

You should be fine from a duplicate content standpoint, as long as the old website does not currently contain the content.  That being said, you should look into any copyright violations before directly grabbing content from someone else's archived site.

Overall, I would recommend creating new and unique content just to be safe, and it will give you the opportunity to have a fresher perspective on the subject matter than the old copy from a site archive.

Hope this helps,

Thank you for the fast response, indeed I'll better use fresh content.

I was wondering if using content from archive from my old domain would not lead to punishment from google.

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Menno
