Question about double content

Hi all,
I have pdf and print view options in my CMS. those options make a article content as a pdf and doc. I want to know Is it double content for google or no?

Thanks in advanced

 

Hi guys,
don't You have any experience about this? or My question wasn't clearly.

thanks

 

I think it should be fine, there's a lot of sites doing that.

 

Thanks WishBone for your reply.

 

that's fine.. its consider as other version file of the content..

 

Same here dude I have no experiences about that,...any ways thanks for the information wishbone.

 

No it will not harm you . I have seen few pro blogs providing such options and they are not facing any problems . These blogs are too old and running very well .

 

I don't think this would be as such a major issue for google in the content department.

 

Google content department count each version of content as a separate if the extension of file is different. If you have same content on jpg, pdf, .swf or .htm it will fine. But if you have same content on .aspx, .php, .htm then this will count as duplicate.

 

It's ok.. You should worry when ur double content is a way to trick Google.

 

can google read pdf's files? what i mean is can they crawl the content of the pdf ?

 

Thank you everyone for your replies.

 

i dont think gogole count content stored in pdf

 

Hi lindamood1,
I think google actually stored pdf because I added disallow pdf content in robot.txt and google show warning to me in Google Webmasters tools.

Good luck

 

Are you sure they don't crawl it? I set up a .js file to show organic traffic to a few pdfs for a client and analytics is indeed collecting data.

 

i think many sites are doing this,
there are many who are having same content in different languages
