    There is no reason for them not to crawl "copied" content.

    They will crawl but after they found out they will de-index the pages of that particular site.

    Duplicate content is a long time myth. They have no mechanism in place to detect such a thing. never have.

    Hi, seo.logan

    I think Google does give more weights for original and unique contents on sites. I also noticed Google has detected some of my duplicate titles and meta descriptions and displaying in my webmaster center account. :)

    Have a nice day,

    I've seen loads of site scrape content, and all their pages are indexed. You'd see multiple matches if you put a couple of sentences into Google. By your sentence, one comes to the conclusion that there will just be one copy on the internet ( the original one) which is not true.

    A bunch of sites ripped my about us content off and now they all rank instaed of my site.

    This is a damn disgrace and Google has done nothing about it

    This is my page About US anyone got any advice for me? Just take a snippet of text and past it in google, you will see whats going on...

    Cheers

    Yeah duplicate content survives there isn't any specific tool to analyze this thing.

    You can issue a DMCA request but chances are you'll be copied and outranked again. http://www.google.com/dmca.html

    The reason you're being outranked is because other metrics like your domain authority, pr, inbound links aren't as valuable as the guys copying you.

    Google is regularly scanning the internet, adding fresh and new content pages to its main index. Sometimes the copied contents may get indexed pretty fast but after a while they may be gone with the wind and deindexed.

    They don't drop duplicates, it's just that if they find the same content multiple times they pick one to rank. The duplicates will be indexed.

    So if you and another person have the same article up, you're basically fighting and one of you will win.

    They won't be able to track all of them but a lot of pages are indexed when found out that they are not original articles.
