Thanks for the tips

 

Just come up with your own ideas and you'll do fine. For me, I still find similar ideas duplicate content. Though I'm no search engine, it really decreases my interest in a website if they offer content that have been repeated 1000 times all over the web.

 

Next time you should quote your source!

People get far too worried about duplicate content, as google themselves mention on the above page, there is not going to be any penalty unless they deem it to be a way to manipulate search engine rankings.

I use duplicate content all over the place (my original content, but used in multiple places) and cannot recall the last time I had any issues, or problems with ranking or disappearing from the search engine results.

Maybe it's because I do #3 in your list "Be Consistent"

I consistently use duplicate content
