Thanks WebFadds and Janeth for the link.
I have to agree with alienpest that if I find an article that is good info for my readers, I will use it on my site even though it might not be indexed and the rest of my site should not be penalized for it. I always remember that when comes to website, I always do it for visitors and not really for search engines. As long as it benefits the visitors, then it should be okay though it might be penalized as duplicate content for that page.
