Duplicant Content > Backlink Value

    Hey everyone,
    Lets say you had 2 websites with:

    • identical traffic
    • the same theme,
    • the same pagerank,
    • and from the same domain extension i.e .com.
    However, the only difference is, one site is made up of unique content, and the other is made up of primarily duplicate content. Both sites have a one way link pointing to a site.
    I'm assuming the backlink from the duplicate content page would be of much less SERP value than the original unique one. Can anyone confirm this? Whether duplicate content comes into the equation of backlink value?
    Thanks in advance.

    You should use permanent redirect means 301 to redirect the duplicate content site to original content site.
