We keep mentioning the fact that we at AfriPeeps seriously frown at plagiarism, you may ask why? Well it is because plagiarism can have a seriously damaging effect on websites, blogs and forums. Let's talk about just few of the damages that plagiarism can cause.
One of the damages plagiarism can cause is penalties from Google due to reports from original owners of articles. Let's assume you copy an article from a website and the owner happens to run a simple search on Google using just a sentence from his article, Google will display all websites with the same sentence online. The real owner can the go ahead and report the copycat to google and legal actions can even be taken against such website especially if the real owner have written it clearly in his website or blog that no one should copy his contents. Google will stop indexing pages of such website and stop showing it in Google search results.
If a website has plans of applying for Google Adsense, it may never be approved if any copied content is found on such website.
