Website Content ... Quandary

After paying a nice woman from Australia $75 I have 50 new pages of new original well written content. BTW if you want to do the same I recommend the site getafreelancer "dot" com Copyrighting, SEO, Web-design, PHP, Java and tons of other jobs can be posted here for people from around the world will bid on them. Good and Inexpensive!

Anyway, back to my Quandary: I've posted 35 of these new content neighborhood articles to my Cary Neighborhoods Page. At the same time I removed 20 pages of duplicate content real estate tips pages. My goal is to offer free real estate tips reports sent to visitors captured email addresses. \

I was pretty pleased with my plan until I noticed that all 20 of my real estate tips pages were cashed by Yahoo and Google

So my quandary is: should I re-include those 20 pages of real estate tips, have an obscure link to them and have them re-written in the future, ... Or should I just sit tight and wait for the real estate tips pages to fall out of the index and have my 35 new neighborhood articles included in the index?

You may have answered your question when you noted that removed 20 pages of duplicate content. If you know that it is duplicate content why include it on the site?

Also, you noted that the pages were cached. But, you did not mention if with the Google index, if the pages show as supplemental results. If they show as supplemental results in Google, then you probably did the right thing by removing them.

I am sure that others may have some further insights for you.

I agree with naplesrealestate in that you should remove duplicate content. Sit back and relax, your duplicate content pages were cached, and your new Australian-written content pages will soon be cached as well. I would not risk hanging onto the duplicate content simply because the pages are cached.

Michael as we talked about I think that you are best to leave the duplicate content off of the site. No reason for it to be on the site, unless it is useful content for your visitors. If that is the case and you know it's duplicate use the "no index" command so Google doesn't see it.

Thanks, guys! I took yalls advice and removed the duplicate content pages. I popped up to #2 in MSN and #9 in Yahoo (still in Google's sandbox) just from the content change. Hopefully with the eradication of the duplicate content I'll stick there. We'll see.

I'm going to post some blogs pointing directly to the new pages, perhaps that will expedite their inclusion in Google's index. ??? I thought I'd post them to ActiveRain.

Anybody know other good places to post neighborhood description articles?

Get your own blog and stop building content for other sites. This will make you the authority instead of AR or some of the site.

You could always attach a blog to your own site as well. Its fairly easy to get links to blogs (unlike anything else) and that will help you in the long run. IMHO

You need to be careful not point too many links to your web site from the blog. I do agree with Vegas that if you can incorporate your blog into your site you should. It might be the wave of the future.
