    Hi All DP Members,

    I am new to this SEO world. In the world of search engines it is being said that if two web pages are having exactly the same content then the newer page gets the penalty for copy content.

    But when we write articles , we submit it to a number of directories, once the article gets approved it gets a permanent url on that directory.

    So my question is do SE interpret articles and web pages differently. If yes then what is the reason ?
    If no then why article directories don't face such penalties.

    Please reply

    Thanks
    Aderline

    @Aderline: It has been said multiple times that there is no 'penalty' for duplicate content. Google's Directory is a copy of DMOZ.

    However, it's true that google will filter out duplicate content and will only show a few websites/directories when 100s of directories have the same article.

    There is no penalty
    but google ranks that result top which appears more trust able. See google trust rank.
