if i use an image from another site in my own. will google not rank me and penalize for duplicate content? will it affect my ranking? Just an image, not word content. A picture.
You will probably not penalize for they are just images, but if you copy the whole site/page structure, the duplicate one will be ignored by SE bot for they already indexed the same content. Make changes in contents and ALT text for new site.
no.... dnt u see same images on 2 different sites in Google index? but i think, some images u can not copy due to copy rights
If you have been reporting, Google will be punished. In general, Google will not affect the picture to repeat the evaluation of the site!
