I have a website where almost all the content is from the affiliate program supplied content(it's more of a landing page). Will this cause negative results for SEO? The actual design made by me is just the banner and navigation bar. Also, does yahoo or msn even deduct you for duplicate content?
If the content if provided to you by an affiliate company then I'll have to say its the same stuff they pass out to everyone else. Having duplicate content will not do you any good for your SEO campaign. Either write your own content or reword what they send you to benefit your SEO efforts. As for MSN or Yahoo penalizing I do not have a definate answer on that, however I know Google does so if you make your content unique it will pass by for Google which in return you will not have to worry about MSN or Yahoo penalizing you either.
