    Duplicate Content Won’t be harmful for your website, Unless It Is Spammy.

    But, i think it's not a good practice for proper SEO. Cause your visitor may be feel bored with same content in different pages!

    Its not good OP , try to get some good quality writers for your website and update new articles.

    Quality Content is King for SEO.

    Yes it wont fetch you any sort of SEO benefits, instead it will harm your rankings. Update the pages with unique content or use rel=canonical tag to mention which page is important.

    It is always best to write 100% unique content for all pages in your site if you are wanting to rank highly from search engines such as Google. I hope this has helped.

    I wouldn't call it Spammy, but be careful. Ensure that not more than half the content is the same.

    Google is smart enough to pick that up as well. Especially if the pages are machine translated.

    The only type of content that is good is content that is engaging to the reader and relevant! If you just changed some small part of the content then its going to lose how relevant it is. If its close to something else you already did then it loses it originality.

    You can send the same content to various places but it must come from one source, just I tell the url.

    You should try to different content for different cities. This will be a good practice for your website. Your visitors will not love when the content is same for all cities. You should make it different, and remember SEO factors, when writing.

    This is most certainly spamming, there's no shortcuts, you need to produce entirely different copy for each page, don't try to cut corners!

    No matter what anyone else tells you, it is considered improper practice by Google and eventually YOUR site will be penalized. I saw many sites like this and they always end up with a MANUAL GOOGLE PENALTY. They are pretty hard to remove so add some unique content for every single city you have.

    Ask yourself this. Would you read a book that has identical pages? No, you will probably hate it. Also, you would tell all your friends not to read it or to buy it. This will create domino effect and no one will be interested in looking at it. Think of your website as a book that has numerous short stories in it. If a person likes one story, he will take his time to read it. After that, he will go to the next one and next and so on. At the end of the day, you will be praised and worshiped for creating such a magnificent piece.
