Can a Blog Have Quotes?

An article about whether or not a blog can have quotes has been long overdue. First off, let’s get one thing straight: A blog cannot have full-length quotations without the express written consent of the author.

This is because copyright law protects the author’s original work, and quoting from it without permission would be an infringement.

That said, a blog can include short quotations from other sources as long as they are used in a fair and accurate manner. Additionally, if you are quoting from another person’s blog post or article, you should provide a link to that post or article so that readers can learn more about the source material.

Now that we have that out of the way, it’s time to answer the question at hand. Generally speaking, it is okay for a blog to include short quotations from other sources as long as they are used responsibly and accurately.

However, if you are looking to use excerpts from other people’s work in a way that will boost your SEO efforts or help you sell products or services, then you will need their express written consent.
