  4. Hi suresh,I have a website.In the process of writing Article,i’m reading related articles in other websites.Is it any copy right issue.Could you Please tell me the limitations to of writing articles.

    1. Srikanth, There is no harm in reading related articles. You can also add link on your website in case you want to prove that your points are correct. However if you copy data from other websites to your site, google would feel it is duplicate content and your website ranking would reduce it. Original owner may not be impacted as it is already indexed in google.
