Rewrite. Your. Content.

Before you go to copy and paste your old content into a new blog, rewrite your content. It can be similar in structure but you need to move words around, use synonyms, etc. Be sure to also rewrite the descriptions you use to submit your site to social networks. It will save you lots of time and effort in the long run.

I’d also suggest removing all your old, dead links in the social networks you put them in. Many of them will allow you to delete or bury your own links so make sure you do that before submitting your new site.

After my Tumblr page was removed, I bought a cheap .info domain and stuck Wordpress on it. I spent a few hours tweaking the plugins and theme, getting it just right. I spent another few hours posting the content I had used on my Tumblr page, adding and tweaking a few paragraphs. But all-in-all, many of the sentences were obvious copies of the old, now deleted, page.

Unfortunately, Google didn’t see the old site removed before it saw the new site - so my new site was banned for duplicate content. Though, instead of rewriting my content and starting up another new site (the third attempt), I’m just going to email Google, explain what happened, apologize, and hope they give me another chance. And until that happens, I’ll be working on my next niche.
