: Proper SEO when dealing with duplicate content/article I have a blog post I wrote which another site wishes to post on their site, verbatim. I know having identical content is an SEO "ding".

I have a blog post I wrote which another site wishes to post on their site, verbatim.

I know having identical content is an SEO "ding". Is there a way to tell Google that the new site is referencing the old site? Such as a meta tag for "source_url" or something like that?

Or should the new place simply just add a few lines or a graph at the top stating this is copied from a previous blog? Is that enough to satisfy Google's bot?

This is exactly what canonical URLs are for. It tells Google which site/page is the original author.
