Duplicate content is a big issue as far as panda effect is concerned. So its better to get it correct ASAP.
Hi. Duplicate content can have bad effect on the ranking. Google likes only unique content. If Google caught, site will be banned.
My rankings are dropped, and i am still working and got so many back links but no improvements. It happens on only US IP not in Indian IP. So I inspected my sites whether it have any duplicate content, then I got to know some of the pages was duplicated from another site content. Thanks
If you have two versions of a page, one for online use and one for print use. The search engine has a good chance of picking the page used for print use versus the online use. If it chooses the print use page (which can have lower page rank), the search engine will add this page to the index. The resulting effect would be your ‘print use’ page ranking is much lower than competitor pages and your ‘online use’ page not showing at all.The best way to handle situations like these are with proper uses of nofollow tags and noindex inclusions for these types of pages. This way, the search engine would know not to use the print page, but to use the online version instead.While it might seem as though you were penalized for duplicate content, in reality it was simply a lower ranking duplicate page showing up instead of the page you intended to show.Another scenario in which problems can occur with duplicate content is when data is syndicated to third parties. Examples of this scenario include blogs and articles that use RSS technologies. The situation that happens frequently is that search engines might remove the page where your content was first published and instead use the version of whoever is republishing. Thus when searching for that page on the search engine instead of your website coming up, the place where your content was syndicated to can come up. To avoid situations like these if you are unable to noindex the content, it is important to make sure your articles or blog posts have back links to your website. When a search engine sees that the content has a backlink it knows that your version of the content is original.In this situation, it in not necessarily a “penaltyâ€, but you are not getting proper use of your content and your website is not ranking for your content.
You can have duplicate content on your own website; there are many instances why it might be required. However, if you're worried about it you can always use your robots.txt file to block sections of your website that have duplicate content; just like many forum and blog owners do.
