Google Duplicated Content nofollow

Hi,

I am wondering if google will not penalize me for this or this will not affect my page rank in some way but...

Well I have some law that i want to post on my website, the problem is that the law might be on other web sites too, so if i post it on mine maybe google will see it as duplicate content and then penalize me... I do not really need to have this law crawled so should i add a nofollow attribute at the main page and will this stop google from crawling and penalizing my site?

Any experiences or tips?

Thanks

 

You should not put duplicate content and doing this practice you will never get traffick as google will penalize you and keep you at owest ranking.

 

So should I include it not to be crawled in the robots.txt and add a nofollow attribute? The rest of my site is pretty unique tho, however this law might be found on other sites as well... How do they determine which one is the original one? I know it might be the date when the site is created but there might be like some other websites having laws that put those laws up before the government websites, etc...

 

Are you sure about this, several sites with duplicate content can rank well and there is proof of that in google. Where is your proof?

Something just occurred to me, Google penalises duplicate SITES, rather than duplicate CONTENT - possible? I think so

 

put it in quotes and mention the source. Use common sense, if you feel like you are "stealing" content don't do it. If it is small, and it won't ever result in a legal issue, post it!

 

use robots.txt to disallow the search engine crawling that page

 

Or better yet, just put a source

 

well if you just put a source, won't Google also see it as duplicate content even though you have put the source on the duplicated content?
