I recently started receiving referrals from clipbook type sites where people recommend your site so others can view pages of it. The problem is that the site saves a copy of entire pages from your site. They do provide a link to your site from the copied page. Can this cause duplicate content penalties? Or will I be ok because they've posted a link to my site? Should I block them? Thank you! Boog
if dups of a page are picked up but they all link back to your site you should be fine... but dont expect too much form the dups themselves. Marketing through Press releases happens the same way.. You are simply not in control of what gets picked up and what doesn't. Google can't penalize you for that. And if they did it would be a great way to destroy your competition....
