Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.  I do have a follow up though...  With the "canonical" and "no index, follow" tags in place, will any link juice be transferred?

For example:

Original article is published on www.mysite.com/original-article

Content is syndicated on www.theresite.com/syndicated-content with the following tags in place:

What I am getting confused about is since the syndicated content is not getting index, then does any sort of link attributes get passed through to my original article?  In other words, does the canonical link pass any link juice even though the noindex tag is in place?

My question is about how to syndicate content correctly.  Our site has professionally written content aimed toward our readers, not search engines.  As a result, we have other related websites who are looking to syndicate our content.  I have read the Google duplicate content guidelines (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66359?hl=en), canonical recommendations (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066?hl=en&ref_topic=2371375), and no index recommendation (https://developers.google.com/webmasters/control-crawl-index/docs/robots_meta_tag) offered by Google, but am still a little confused about how to proceed. The pros in our opinion are as follows:#1 We can gain exposure to a new audience as well as help grow our brand #2 We figure its also a good way to help build up credible links and help our rankings in GoogleOur initial reaction is to have them use a "canonical link" to assign the content back to us, but also implement a "no index, follow" tag to help avoid duplicate content issues.  Are we doing this correctly, or are we potentially in threat of violating some sort of Google Quality Guideline?Thanks!
