I want to know if i have duplicate content on my website which are picked up from other site then will google indexes these contents if not what should i do?
If Google notices copied content on your site your site may not even get indexed. If your site is new it may get indexed first but soon or later they are going to find out that you have copy righted content. So better keep only original content on your site.
Don't do such things where you have to take the risk to be sand-boxed.I even suggest not to go for any spinned material.
No. They are not going to index your site and if they find that you have ONLY copied content, you will get your site/blog banned from google index.
Ummm to the previous posters... the op didn't state that s/he was going to use "copied" content the question was regarding "duplicate" content of which there are numerous sources which can be used without breaking copyright. manijan, yes Google will index duplicate content however it has been proven that Google will give preference to the original source. So if you republished an article from ezinearticles.com and Google found it there first, that version would be given preference. Subsequent versions are likely to be pushed into the supplemental index (less important). They will however index it and it will not get you banned or result in a penalty.
We all know that original content is so important on site promotion. As a search engine, google also likes original content. If your site's content is duplicate content, I think it may have little help with google index.
Google is not indexing those webpages which have duplicate content, content which are either present on any other website or in same website post. Hence, Google is considering it as an matter of dulicacy and if not rectified within time this issues can also penalized website heavily.plz go through link and read properly
Did you actually bother to read it before you posted? As it clearly states, it is not grounds for action (a penalty) unless you are attempting to do something deceptive. Publishing duplicate content is not in itself a deceptive practice. @manijan, be careful about which information you take from this forum as fact. There are so many people who claim to be experts but really don't have a clue what they are talking about. Google does index duplicate content, you will not get a penalty unless you are doing something deceptive and Google will decide which it thinks is the original source. Here is proof, an article I published about the Candy Thermometer on Ezine Articles earlier this year. I just Googled a specific block of text from that article and it produced 136 results. Here is a link to the search that I used. Thats 136 web pages that Google has indexed which include the exact sentence which I wrote in my original article and Google has since found on other web pages.
this is correct. depends what you mean by 'penalty'. You certainly won't rank for it (unless you are a big, high PR site, or its extreeeeeemely long tail) so you could regard the effort of posting it and hosting it pointlessly as 'a penalty'.
Finally, someone with some common sense on this forum! Agreed, it does depend on how you perceive a penalty. Before using third party content I always think in terms of whether or not my users find it useful. Even if I won't be able to rank for it, if it pleases my existing userbase then I still find it useful in that respect. It all comes down to the purpose of using that content.
Sometimes I submit same articles to different directory sites.After not a long time when I checked it appeared google indexed these pages with same articles.So can anyone explain this phenomenon?
Google does. I had many duplicate contents for articles submitted, and out of them, 5-6 were indexed.
I've heard that it doesn't duplicate it and that Google gives you an extra penalty on top of that, but I don't know this from personal experience. Just hearsay.
yes , google index duplicate content . but it does not give the value that it actually gives to original content..
Your site or page will be indexed by Google even if you have duplicate content. But your page will not get indexed if you just copy the entire HTML code of the site and posted it in your site. There should be some differences between two pages. But even if you get indexed it is almost impossible to rank pages with copied articles higher.
This is my personal experience that Google index duplicate content. But it doesn't provide same value, as to the original content. Indexing of duplicate content is having very less value. you can't expect yourself in top 10. So, always use original content to get high SERP.
Google excatly index even it is duplicated. I doubt others that have said not index, may have not website or newbie If you keep write unique content you may be ranked well rather than duplicated content (there are exceptions)
exact copied content may not be indexed, but rewritten articles are indexed well. One thing for sure, if you're going to have copied content, then you will never rank on first page. Google is smart.
I heard that if someone else who has higher PR than you stole your content and post it on their site, google will consider your hard work as Duplicate Content because the other guy has same exact content and his site's PR is higher than yours.
