I have a news based website in which the primary contents includes news, image albums and videos. Out of these I have copyrights for the images and the videos are embedded from YouTube. My site is kinda like a mashup site, it gathers data from various other sites and presents them in a more user friendly way and for quick digestion and access. The problem I have is since the news part of the site can be found from other sites, my site could suffer in search rankings. Is there any solution to this. One thing I thought of is to put disallow on all the news articles pages, so Google does not crawl them. Will this be helpful to me? When applying to Google AdSense does Google crawl these pages (disallow) also?
