Hi, If I use 1 theme for many Wordpress blogs on same IP, will Google treat it as duplicate content and penalty them? Pls let me know. Thanks.
I've read some SEO articles and they said that Googlebot can read CSS source, so I still wonder if it knows about "theme duplication" Thanks a lot for clearing me out
naah..dont worry about themes...there are thousands of sites using the same themes.. A theme is just a design. Google cares for the content on your site, not the design.
I think not, unless they are all the same content...the one considered as duplicate content are by copying the content word for word and the image too without rephrasing it.
The theme has nothing to do with duplicate content. I also use the same theme on multiple domains on the same IP, and it's fine.
you will have problem if you have the same content on those different blog., but themes don't have anything to do with it.,
Don't worry about CSS, I have used the same CSS file for at least four different sites. Besides, there is commercial Domain Registrar script which is being used by several hundreds of companies, and let me tell you that some of these companies are really big and rank on top spots with search engines.
what you need to ask yourself is that whether google penalises the millions of other blogs that use the same theme but are not related to you. perhaps think about not hosting them on the same IP btw
mate...the google interest is to provide the best results as possible.As long as you have some unique content it doesn't netter what theme you use.Just make sure that you don't use duplicated content.Cheers
From what I understand, Google doesn't like duplicate content. Duplicate WP themes won't be an issue.
No, it won't. Duplicate content only applies to content, as in words. Whether or not you use the same theme (or theme structure) from WordPress installation to installation doesn't matter to them. There is no such thing as "theme duplication" whatsoever. So don't worry about it. Just focus your efforts on writing quality relevant content that people are naturally going to want to link to, read, or be enticed to join your community, leave a comment on your blog, and/or buy whatever product or service you're offering. Precisely. As I said earlier, it won't penalize them. And the same IP issue only becomes a problem if you create a link farm by cross-linking all those blogs together on the same IP address. Other than that, you'll be fine.
