How to correctly link to the original article?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

On the site, so that it does not look empty, I will post a lot of copied and pasted articles, how to correctly indicate the link to the source? Will it be enough to place it <a href="ссылка">Ссылка на оригинал</a> at the end of the article or is there another way to place copy-paste so that the search engine perceives it well?

Answer 1

The search engine does not care if there is a link to the source or not. The fact that this is a copy-paste, he will know without a link.
But an extra outbound link from the site can negatively affect the parameters of the site (for example, if you plan to earn income from the sale of links, a large number of outbound links on the site will reduce your income).
I do this:
in the article with copy-paste, I leave a link with rel="nofollow", which leads to a page like site.ru/leave?url=123
where 123 is the ID of the article with copy-paste.
when you go to such a page, I show a text like "you are about to leave the site. Viruses, spam, etc. may be waiting for you there" and two buttons "go back" and "follow the link".
on the same page I display blocks with popular posts from my site.
As a result, formally all the requirements of the author of the article are met:
there is a link to the article, the link is active, it is not closed from indexing.
In fact:
there is no superfluous outgoing link, I increase the number of page views of the site, some users do not follow the link.
The idea is not mine, many large sites do the same, arguing that this is user protection.
