Hi all, I have a question relating to duplicate content. If there is a link on a website that looks like http://www.domain.com/?CFID=1, and that page displays the same content as www.domain.com and also for any number after the CFID parameter, what would happen in google? For example, http://www.domain.com/?CFID=1 http://www.domain.com/?CFID=2 http://www.domain.com/?CFID=3 http://www.domain.com/?CFID=30000 All those links would lead you to the same page. But if someone decides to have all those links from 1 to 30000 on another site linking to domain.com, would google consider to be 30000 duplicate pages and basically remove your site from their search results? Thanks.
Google will be able to ignore it. MSN might ban the site. Why not just 301 all the pages to your homepage?
Another question is that what if there are 2 ways to get to a page, for example, www.domain.com/index.php?id=1 and www.domain.com/id1.html. Is this very negative for Google rankings? I understand that 301 can fix this issue, but I am trying to under how negative of an impact duplicate content might have on my site. (I am about to conduct an experiment with an unused website, so I am trying to get some info) Thanks.
I am too afraid that few experiments will let google know about YOU. Sounds strange ? I don't think so. I think combing analytics and few other website that has you IP will get you in trouble. If not now, maybe in the future it can... Just don't make any real bad experiments...
According to Matt Cutts on an SEOmoz interview, google doesnt panelize for internal dup content. here, what matt said- Q - In my interview with Vanessa Fox, she mentioned that there really isn't a penalty for having internal duplicate content issues (pages inside your own site that are copies of other pages on your domain). Would you agree with that statement? Would you advise site owners to attempt to fix internal dup content issues, or is it really OK to let Google sort it out? A) Vanessa was right - internal duplicate content isn't too big of an issue, and we're pretty good at sorting out which pages to rank. (he added: but it never hurts to help search engines with dupe content issues if it's easy to help, e.g. in the webmaster console, tell us if you prefer www vs. non-www.)
they might penalized your site or maybe ban if they know that know that you are cheating them, you have to make some moves before they noticed.. unless those urls dont have a links to any other sites...
Better to go with fresh content because duplicate content will affect you any how... so never to go for duplicate content just have new one... You might get penalty if you use duplicate content
