Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Ryan's resources look good regarding copyright & fair usage. If you're citing a paragraph or two and linking to the source, you're generally in the clear. In terms of SEO, you'll want to be adding as much unique content to the page as you're citing if you plan on indexing the content. Here are examples of sites that do this curation approach well: http://swipefile.co/archives/ http://further.net/archives/ If you're just going to pull the content in directly from an RSS feed, or if you're just adding a sentence plus the quoted text and a link, then you're probably not adding enough value for the content to be worth indexing. I'd set the meta robots tag to "noindex, follow" in this case.

Thanks for your rseponses! Hey RobertJakobson, doesn't Google advise against having canonical and noindex on the same page? And if you setup canonicals + change of address, what would be the purpose of noindexing?
