here's the best way to SEO for this year till next: 1- get original content. this is the primary method to rank high. 2- never copy duplicated content. u will kill your ranking immediately. i've tested this on many websites. i cant emphasize this enought. googlee places huge penalty on copied articles. 3- get lots and lots of banklinks. the importance of banklinks has increased even more now that duplicated content is out of the picture. 4 - link to authority sites.
1) Getting original content isn't enough to rank highly. You could be writing original viagra/poker/etc content and I bet you would still have a hard time ranking for "viagra"/"poker"/"etc" 2) I wouldn't even copy unique content . There's no penalty for duplicate content, it's simply a filter. 3) I'm not sure how getting lots of backlinks is related to duplicate content being filtered out of the SERPS... 4) Linking to authority sites will not help your rankings if that's what you mean. 5) Is it raining where you are? It's chucking it down here. I'm building an ark.
get a good text in your link. not just ghkhgy.789.html, but .../what-i-look-for.html Works More good backlinks, there can not be too many of them
Do you think it affects the entire domain or just the page the duplicated content appears on? For instance would xxxxx.com be penalized for duplicate content on xxxxx.com/articles ?
Unusual Methods 1. Renew domain name for another 10 more years. (So Google knows that you are serious with your site). 2. Report as many as text link seller and bad sites as possible to Google with your site signature. (So Google knows that they can always rely on you). 3. Remove all JavaScript, Flash and CSS formatting in your page. Just leave the text and a timestamp behind. (So Google bots know that you are focusing on content and nothing else) ...... who knows they might work
Duplicate content doesn't get penalised - it gets filtered out. It doesn't make sense for a search engine to present 10 identical pages in response to a searcher's query, so the duplicate page gets filtered out. Other pages on the domain are unaffected by the particular page's duplication.
you will get penalized by your rank dropping really low. I got a site dropping to page 4 from number 1. of course if you have a ton of original content on it and a few unoriginal articles, it probably wont affect you that much.
I would have agreed if it was 2005/2006 but for 2008 this will not be a ranking factor just like today.
the usual on-site and off-site seo, linkbuilding, linkbaiting maybe, articles, etc..etc...and CONTENT, yes !
