Duplicate Content - Images?

I'm aware that Google penalized sites for using duplicate content, does this include images? How do they know that images are duplicates? etc.?


Thanks

 

It depends on image tags I guess
I am not sure..
waiting for the other replies.

 

They is no way to find duplicate images.

 

i often thought about images too !

 

I remember seeing a thread in the BST section, I can't remember if the seller had pictures of celebrities or offering to upload pictures or something but it was image related and they said that they would use this software to make sure Google wouldn't recognize the images as duplicates.

 

Google don't get images...no need to worry about duplicate images...ya but images owner will claim you...

 

yea i dont kno much but still that wouldnt cause much problems i guess

 

Come on!!
Of course not. Some images are duplicated 1000's of times on lots of sites, you can't even know where it showed up first.

 

The filename. Google can match the filename, but i don't think they will penalize you for it, unless original image owner complains about you. Normally, the image owner will search the filename using Google. If you are lazy enough not to change the filename, then bingo!

 

I think only the alt google could identify.

 

Ok thanks everyone for your information.

I've taken this from your information

- Make sure you change the image name
- Have different alt text


Thanks

 

yeah, I think that Google can't find out the copy image..

 

Duplicate content is a myth!

 

So after reading this thread its very clear when onetalks on DUPLICATE web
Its only limited to text and not to images
Very nice discussion
