Hi everyone, I want to discuss a problem, if I have some article on my blog with a read more icon. Whenever I would click that icon/button a new page opens with remaining details of article. When this happens, how search engines treat it. Do they consider it duplicate content issue or not?
Well, as much as I know, it's not a duplicated content since it resides on the same url from your blog.
I would suggest you to provide cluster of articles in one page and provide 'read more' to get the full article.. You can have 5-10 article in one page; and provide three or more lines for any article - for all article. Optimize your site, in such a way that if you click on read more - the resulting page should give the full article for you.. This may sounds difficult to understand - have a look at this website: Search Engine Land..
No, search engine doesn't consider it duplicate content.Because you are given only brief description and wen user click read more the whole article will appear in a new url.
NO, It will not be consider as a duplicate content because after clicking read more whole article appears
Dont take the duplicate content issue to seriously. I am prudent as with this issue as you just dont know what she (google) is up too most of the time, but I beleive it to be a great myth...
It will not count as duplicate content. especially when you only give a few lines of your article on the first page.
no, absolutely not . On the site blog we used different articles & to show the interesting information as well as useful information.
hello adnan i am happy to see Arabs here. in the same domain there is no fear of duplicate contents. but to give a better chance to your homepage, categories page and tags pages you can write a short unique paragraph and use it as a excerpt. this will help these pages tp get more traffic as it will be considered as unique pages . good luck dr ahmed galal
I don't know where you guys get the idea that you don't have to worry about duplicate content within the same domain... but you are wrong. If duplicate content within the same domain can't cause issues then the search engines wouldn't be preaching about fixing your URL canonicalization issues (duplicate content and split page rank are the two reasons given for doing this) and they DEFINITELY wouldn't have bothered inventing the <link rel="canonical"> element which until recently was ONLY usable within a single domain. If you have a product whose description appears in some category of an ecommerce site like under TVs which is also on the same domain under the Sony section, Google considers this duplicate content. Googlers like Cutts have said time and time again that this does cause issues w/ duplicate content. This is the main reason they invented the <link rel="canonical"> element to begin with... to help large sites with complex navigations where the same content needs to appear in several places (or under several categories) from a usability perspect. The content can still appear under multiple categories, yet you can now identify one version of it as the canonical (prefered) version of the content. That being said duplicate content is not that big of a deal from a ranking perspective. And certainly having a 200 character excerpt appearing on your home page with a link to the full version is not going to kill you. If you're REALLY that worried about it then invest in a better theme that allows you to have custom excerpts for each of your posts like Thesis. The custom excerpt gets used for the home page, category pages, and archive pages and can be totally unique from the content of the post itself. This will also allow you to imbed a custom link at the end of each excerpt linking back to the post with whatever link text you want instead of crappy link text like "read more" or yet another link with the /%postname%/ as the link text (the post title for the excerpt is usually already a link to the post, so another link w/ same link text is worthless). I use the custom "read more" links to vary the link text, and have found it very effective. I limit my posts to a single category and also add <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> all of my archive pages since the same excerpts appear on the corresponding single category pages for the posts. While my post is on the home page, the excerpt is indexed and duplicated on the home page and single category page, but the post itself is totally unique. And once a post rolls off of my home page, the excerpt is only indexed on the single category page making it totally unique content and the post itself still remains unique.
Don't bother too much about duplicate issue. Watch this and find what Google says about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hSoXutuj0g
