    Hi

    I want to ask an important question,

    As we all know that google penalize duplicate content. But if we are using wordpress theme on our site, we add duplicate content automatically

    Like, the content we post, it posts on home page and it also post on new page and some category and in tags as well.

    One content is post on many pages, so now google will penalized it?

    And what we can do to make it unique??


    Your advice and suggestion are important.

    Thanks for reading.

    Google wont penalize you for duplicate content as you have described on the same domain. Duplicate content you are thinking of is content that is found on different domains and I don't know how much of a penalty it is. If you got permission to use an article from one of the many article sites around the web and published it on your site.. that's duplicate content.. google will not penalize you for it, you just wont out rank for the keywords from the articles original source.

    Google is aware that a lot of duplicate content is hard to avoid.... rather than applying penalties, it will simply choose one duplicated page over another to display in the SERPS. I wouldn't worry about making each bit of content unique, unless it adds value to the visitor.
