Duplicate content question

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by andrej, Sep 16, 2007.

    I have a unique article on one of my sites and would like to use it on my other site, the same article. I know, I had better get a unique one, but I really don't care to get my second site indexed in SEs. I just don't want Google to ban the second domain because of duplicate content.

    Can I just put the nofollow tag on the article and I am fine then?

    I mean something like (not sure if this is correct):
    <div rel="nofollow">the article</div>
    HTML:
    Would that work?

    As far as I know, the "no-follow" tag is simply not true. I know tht you are skillful and creative enough to make a new unique article for your other site. Try it. It could be far more better and effective than the first one.

    The nofollow attribute is just for links. But domains don't get banned for duplicate content. Duplicate content if more of a filter than a penalty. Google just wont list both pages in the serps together.

    I run autoblogs on 3 of my domains and they all got banned. It was duplicate content, wasn't it? Plus Adsense.

    I don't think I'm able to write even a better article than that one, as I hired a writer to write it.

    They got banned because they were splogs that offered zero orriginal content. that isn't the same as duplicate content. If you have one or two duplicate pages you will be fine.

    You can't get banned for simlpy having dupes... it is a FILTER not a penalty - More on Duplicate Content

    SNIPPET

    Now, if you want to ensure that one site is indexed instead of the other, simply use the NOINDEX in the meta or robots.txt for the page in question

    Just make sure that you'll not get banned in google, just create a new article in your other site because I think google still follow the links that has nofollow attribute.
