Won't help; they'll just confiscate it at the door. Prison isn't supposed to be fun... See: http://www.comedycentral.com/motherl...&is_large=true
Back to the question, of course stolen content won't push its source out of the top ranks. It won't even rank at all, without more, better, and more varied links than the site you're asking about pilfering.
And more importantly, it's just immoral. And illegal, it will open you for a lawsuit you're very unlikely to win. But immoral is more important. Somebody else worked hard to build that content, and they own it, along with the right to distribute it through their web site. The reward they get for their labor is the bunch of top positions for whatever keyword, and everything that goes with that.
Back to practical reality, the search engines want to serve up results that help their users, to keep those users. They also want to not have their results skewed by spam. That's why Google has a duplicate content filter. And a lot of other tricks up their sleeve. Even Yahoo will know enough to realize they're already covered in this ballpark, and a "mirror" site is trying to ride the coat tails.
Better off to do what actually made that place successful: put in time and effort to put something together that an awful lot of people will find useful. |
