    As a general rule, you should keep your content at least 40-50% unique to keep Google from getting too angry for duped content.

    if it is only a little amount of copied content, why not spend few minutes of your time to rewrite it? you can stay worry free that way

    I don't believe google is that good at detecting duplicated content. You only need slight changes in it for Google to think it is different. I copy pages from Wikipedia all the time with slight changes - and don't suffer from Google.

    It is my understanding that a duplicate content penalty will only affect the actual page in question. If you are concerned about a particular page just Google it often to be sure it comes up.

    Duplicate content generally refers to substantive blocks of content within or across domains that either completely match other content or are appreciably similar. Mostly, this is not deceptive in origin. Examples of non-malicious duplicate content could include:

    * Discussion forums that can generate both regular and stripped-down pages targeted at mobile devices
    * Store items shown or linked via multiple distinct URLs
    * Printer-only versions of web pages

    If your site contains multiple pages with largely identical content, there are a number of ways you can indicate your preferred URL to Google. (This is called "canonicalization".)

    However, in some cases, content is deliberately duplicated across domains in an attempt to manipulate search engine rankings or win more traffic. Deceptive practices like this can result in a poor user experience, when a visitor sees substantially the same content repeated within a set of search results.

    Google tries hard to index and show pages with distinct information. This filtering means, for instance, that if your site has a "regular" and "printer" version of each article, and neither of these is blocked in robots.txt or with a noindex meta tag, we'll choose one of them to list. In the rare cases in which Google perceives that duplicate content may be shown with intent to manipulate our rankings and deceive our users, we'll also make appropriate adjustments in the indexing and ranking of the sites involved. As a result, the ranking of the site may suffer, or the site might be removed entirely from the Google index, in which case it will no longer appear in search results.

    If your content is copied from some place, you will always see little impact of these on your search engine rankings. Hence, if you find a duplicate content in your website, immediately re-write it and make it unique.

    These will help you in search engine rankings :)

    True you can do that but that is known as PLAGIRISM and is highly frowned upon in the blogosphere network.

    You can post content that is copied but the thing to do is leave a link to the original source as Kudos if you are going to do that.

    Otherwise read it and write your own version. That is fine.

    Dont focus too much on duplicate content. Whats to stop someone from stealing your stuff and putting it on their website? How will google know which one is the original and which one is copied? There is a penalty, but just focus on whats important(link building) and then you dont have to worry about it.

    I actually had a friend who got his content scraped and the person who scraped it put it on their site and didnt get the dupe penalty because their site was seen by google as the more authoritve site. My friend was the one who got the dupe penalty, and it was his conent. :confused:
