Penalty for relocating an article?

Would you get a dupe-content penalty if you posted an article on one blog then weeks later moved the article to a new blog? Even if you deleted the old one, it could still be in the index, no?

    There is no such thing. The content that is already idexed simply gets rated lower the second time. But sometimes, when other factors favor the second site it may even appear before the first. Happens usually with worldwide news content and local search. The news item may be posted on hudreds of websites, but at a local search it gives the winning place to the local website that has it.

    As I recall there is a dupe-content penalty. Is this thought to be changed?

    you must do redirect for the old article, or remove the old article, before you move the articles to the blogs. the website PR also very important. Sometimes, if the old website PR is very high, you move the old articles to the new site, google still never index it.

    Duplicate pages aren't the same for every page on the net.
    • Google has posted scraping eCommerce pages might lead to the scraper page getting buried in the SERPs. Example, Amazon won't take the fall If a web 2.0 scrapes an Amazon product page & Google notices both pages on two separate domains are identical.
    • Scraping an original page on a blog doesn't mean the original page will rank higher than a scraped page on another domain, in this case it's more of a who has better SEO.
    • Duplicate pages on the same domain will eventually lead to one of the pages being buried in Supplemental SERPs. It's not really a penalty since you have 100% control of your own sites pages/content. If you duplicate a page on the same domain that's a choice you willingly made & can be corrected anytime you want (not a penalty).
