well for the person who is writing i guess its good as to the more wesbites he'll submit at , the more backlinks he'll get and more promotion will be of his website as far as the content of the article is duplicate so the person or party penalized would be the article directory for holding on to duplicate content right am too bit confused at this. but correct me if i am wrong . The person writing an article has wrote it and put it on his website , now where ever he posts after that is not going to be his problem right. if the aritlce directory posts it. they are the one who would be or should be penalized
Okay, the confusion comes from an inaccurate use of the term "penalty." Google employees have explained that there is no "penalty" for duplicate content. It is a filter, which chooses an "authoritative" version to display in the results, and places the others in the supplementals. So if you duplicate an article from your site, or someone else does it, there is no penalty against that site...but you run the risk that the original article will be judged a copy and therefore supplemental. Since no one really looks at supplemental results, your article directory submission could wind up displacing the original. I do think supplementals pass some link juice, but obviously not as much as a page which Google trusts enough to list in the main index.
Really? I think, Google will penalize you site by decreasing/ lowering your rank if he find your duplicate content. If it's true (not penalized duplicate content), I give you a big thank for your information.
Why would it penalize you ? someone might steal ur article and post it on another website to get your website penalized if this was the case ? that would cause chaos ! Woc
According to Google Sitemaps team (Vanessa Fox), there is no penalty which is automatically applied to site. So if there is duplicate content, it won't get you banned or give a -30 or -60 or whatever. The duped pages will simply fall in to supplementals. Of course, if you want a page to rank, and it is only in supplemental listings, this will feel like a penalty. Your page will be nowhere. But calling it a penalty implies a punishment for wrongdoing, which can affect how your site as a whole performs. That's simply not true. Your unique pages will function as before. The fact is, dupe content is incredibly common, many scripts generate multiple pages, so we should be glad for this filter. It can have SEO consequences, but it is not a "crime" for content to be syndicated. It is simply terrible for search results to contain hundreds of identical articles at different URLs.
I think Google will not penalized your site if you have duplicate content. The only problem with duplicate content is the ranking on search engine. This is very true "but you run the risk that the original article will be judged a copy and therefore supplemental". i think Google will penalize the site if it is reported as a violation to copyright.
This is also true...a site or page may be manually removed from the index for copyright infiringement. But this isn't really a penalty, either; it is simply Google complying with the law. If they index copyright-infringing material, they may become liable for it.
Looks good to me. I think that the Google employess can not give out algorithm info. The employees are just saying what is true, in a round-about way. It is obvious that the duplicate content will come up in the SERPs from the higher quality site based on other factors not associated with the duplicate content. Right? Duplicate content shows in SERPs. Webmasters know this from experience in searching for things. It is not the article that engines are focusing in on. It is the keyword phrase and the quality of the websites. So it seems. Duplicate content is not frowned upon because some people will base their findings on what they are looking for based on how popular an article is on the web. They get this popularity judgement based on how many webpages are showing the article. It gives the article more weight. Right? Unless the one searching thinks that it is the same webmaster who is adding the article to the pages. Who knows!
What exactly defines duplicate content? Is it finding the same paragraph on 2 different pages? Is it finding the exact same pages just with 2 different file names? If I have a page that has 10 paragraphs but has 5 of them copied from another page, would it consider that to be duplicate content? If I have 2 pages with the same paragraphs but with 2 different titles, is that duplicate content? This is the part I don't get about duplicate content. I know that google will filter it, I just don't understand what qualifies as duplicate content.
I have not seen duplicate content causing de-ranking of sites/pages. What generally seems to happen - in my experience - is the pages considered to contain duplicate content (and that have not been determined as the originating source of that content) are placed in the "omitted results" additional search option. SEs seem to look at the site as a whole when assessing duplicate content: whether the site offers additional value over and above that content. Otherwise any site that legitimately aggregates other content from, say, RSS feeds or press releases, would never rank in the SERPs. I think we'd all love to have a definitive answer to how much of the same content on two pages would be regarded as duplicate.
Yes, I think the five is duplicate content! Duplicate content, not duplicate title! So it's classified as duplicate content.
As per my suggestion, First upload that article content to your site and wait till google crawl it then submit it to various article directories.
