I've seen some companies, that work in a very crowded market (.. and so crowded keywords) do two things: - Put in their site a copy of Wikipedia - Put a copy of a dictionary - Put some music lyrics - Put a copy of DMOZ Both of them have more than 1000 pages of content... .. And the best of all, this tricks have been working.. They are in the top for many good and crowded keywords... Can that result in a google penalty or ban ? Forgetting about google penalties, how do you think this can work in benefit for SEO ? I think Google would ban it, but, what's the idea of replicating such a content ?
