WARNING: Google deindexing sites with duplicated content
Reading an article about duplicated content, I found out that if you are planning to re-publish articles from article directories, you only have to include the article source in order to avoid “duplicated content” penalty. This was told by Google Engineer Matt Cuts.
So I made a test. I created a Blogspot blog, and republished a bunch of articles related to sports from Ezinearticles along with the article source link. So to index the blog in Google, I placed a link on a popular forum related to sports and submitted the link to Digg.com.
The blog was indexed in four hours, but just the main URL. When the Googlebot returned to index the other pages, it completely removed it from the index. Now, the site is banished from Google index because it had duplicated content.
So, all what this Matt Cutts said was a lie. Google is banning sites with duplicated content no matter if we place the source article links. Posting unique content is t only thing I can do to re-index this test blog. What is the purpose of article syndication, if webmasters republishing our articles will be banned?
Again, does it worth building links using article directories?
Either way I recommend webmasters to stay away from duplicated content penalty.

What a mess with this guys,
We all know that the view of a bot and human varies, so if you add source human understand, but only through the source of the article google credit you, difficult to trust. I am completely agree with you.
You may use html tags <a href="url">Your link</a>,<b></b>,<ul><li>.
