I have food recipes blog, I can't write myself so I used some writing services to write articles for me but the articles not good for my website. when I view another websites relate to my niche I see their have articles very userful with details about recipes, images, step by step, etc...

So, Is it OK if I hire someone rewrite articles from that sites and put the articles on my blog include images of the websites? I know content after rewritten by human is fine but how about images? any risk If I copy images from the articles then target relate keywords of the website?

oh, I using adsense on my blog.

Hope you'll understand my questions above because my english is very bad.

thank you.

Make sure the written content is unique, as for the images i would try and find images free for re-use but obviously showing the same finished dish
 
I currently have a website increasing in rank weekly and some of my content is copied from other sites, so yes I would say it is ok but make sure you spin the content to make it unique
 
I'm worrying about images if I totally copy it from the website. as I said, they have Images details for step by step cooking the recipes that very userful for visitors. If my article out rank the article of the website may I get banned by adsense in future because copied content/images?

I'll hire someone to rewrite all articles, I ask this question because writer can't write for me article like the sites (I find the sites on pinterest, news, etc,...)

Oh, same question for YOUTUBE VIDEOs, is it safe if I use youtube videos owned by other on my adsense wesite? I wanna save money because I payying for fiver to create my recipe videos.

thank you.

Its pretty simple... you don;t own the copyright - if the copyright owner reports to google for copyright infringement they will at least disable adsense on your domain and give you some time to do changes (remove all content that is not yours/is copied/unoriginal/violating their ToS) they won;t be very specific so you gotta figure it out on your own. This is in the good case - in a bad case, your adsense acc gets closed right away and you are banned from adsense for good.
 
Most of the recipes are almost the same. So you can write few intro sentences and cite rest of the recipe. How are you getting traffic ? Social media or organic?

Organic

I still growing my social pages :D
 
I think you're good to go with the content as long as It's spun good. After the spin the article should have atleast 75% uniqueness. As for the images, I believe there are plenty of images you can use, no need to use theirs.
 
Please replace the image, you can find free image from public domain.
