Duplicate Content..?

I'm wanting to write a few lines of text within a dyanmic page on my new hobby site, which is my first venture into working with PHP myself.

The word in [] is brought from the database - the rest of the text will be exactly the same.

Could this be seen as duplicate content?

It could, but would it? If yes, to what degree? Now there's a question noone can answer unfortunately.

Thanks for your help... have some red on me

 

Er, I did help you. I answered your question politely and extended it in a way that might provoke further discussion in the thread about the extent to the duplicate content filters. It's called adding value. It's a shame you couldn't comprehend my reply and see past my negative reputation, isn't it?

I don't know why I bothered.

Hi,
I think the duplicate content penalty is for mirror sites and not for a few words or even an article .
2 "exact" same sites on 2 different domains is what I think is duplicate and not phrases and sentences .
I have never heard google say that they will penalise your site if you "QUOTE" something from some other site.

A few lines is nothing to worry about

 

That's like asking if using your site's name or a home link on every page will trigger a duplicate content penalty. People get upset about such stuff way too much...

 

I don't think this will ever be answered. The only way to be certain is to have everything unique. But then again there are only so many words in the English lanquage so eventually there are bound to be duplicates. Even text in thsi post could be duplicated in part elsewhere on the web.

 

my guess is that google searches for x number of consecutive words that appear in 2 (or more) pages, to determine duplicate content, so for a sentence or two, you don't have to worry about a penalty (at least not a big one, maybe a very little tiny one)

 

if i start mirror site with other domain but i do some link popularity on mirror site with high PR website .

is it good or not ??
is it legal what google check ??

 

if mirror site means you have the same content, it may take some really strong link popularity to get it up

 

To answer the original question this would not been seen as duplicate content.

The best way to avoid a duplicate content penalty is to make sure the key elements (title, meta description and h1 tags) of each page are unique. Then if google does detect some duplicate content on the page it knows that the page as a whole is unique.

 

Thanks everyone for your comments.

I dont' think a sentence or even a paragraph would be considerd dublicate content. The term usually means having the same site get served under different domains.

 

Correct you are. IMO it would be seen as duplicate content but there are tools developed that claim to ensure that it's NOT .
