Discussion on: Relieving Fears Around Reposting Content from Other Websites

I can confirm that when 1VIBE was a wordpress website and mostly aggregating content (so not adding the Canonical URL) we were sometimes able to temporarily outrank the original source on Google search results. I would say that 1VIBE for sure had lower "domain authority" than the source, but I was however personally telling Google to crawl our pages via the Google Search Console as soon as we made the posts which was not long after the original source. But this only works temporarily and in the long run Google does seem to adjust search result rankings based on actual "domain authority" and probably other factors like who the original source of the content is.
