Google does not penalize for duplicate content
 

Otherwise every single syndicated news website on the internet would get no Google traffic, CNN, Yahoo News, etc all of these websites and even smaller hometown news websites obviously dont get penalized. Im not saying there is no penalization at all but theres gotta be some wiggle room... thoughts?

It's simply a factor... I'm sure it's included in their algorithm :P

I have found that It matters more in porn than mainstream, especially news.

ALso these news and portal sites have many visitors, low bouncerate and usually massive backlinks.

Obviously not a very big one

if you are cnn, no. the rest of us, yes.

Now this is what Im talking about, thank you for that insight, one of my mainstream sites has a news feed and I was worried about it affecting google rankings but so far no change.

Some dictionaries say there is more than 500,000 words in the English language. I think it's possible to create less duplicate content. It difficult to learn all the words.

The duplicate content penalty never has existed. It's a persistent myth spread by self-proclaimed SEO experts. The fools that tell you duplicate content penalties exist are the same fools that will try to convince you that pagerank matters.

Google does act quick if you redirect a domain though.

It took less than 30 hours for google to make one of my domains disappear.

It's opposite than "penalize". The first/original site is "awarded" by its publish time.

Same with single keywords. For instance, if you are among the first to promote a new keyword in this industry, like a new domain name, you will likely get some good positions for some time at Google index.

To maintain the position you need the relevance factor. Like backlinks and deeplinks. Yahoo, CNN etc. are credited with source links and that's why they get good position(s).

Many SEO "experts" tend to forget how important speed is. Just like breaking news is a sale factor, you can't duplicate publish time (google cache) and that's the "backdoor" into the algorithm. No matter how good writer and SEO "friendly" you are, you will lose attention and money if you can't "be the first" and take advantage of it into the peaks. No one can predict real world news, but there is always a time gap between knowledge and publish. In this industry, that depends on how close business relationships you have. And there are other ways, which I'm not going to post here :pimp

It's not penalized, but maybe you don't get good rankings. Probably, if you have many pages within a website with duplicate content, you get penalized. But, Google makes the difference between normal duplicate content, such as news, tourist offers, product specifications in e-shops, etc., and for example porn duplicate content.

Trolled.

Anyone have any real life experience of traffic/rank changes after removing duplicates, or SEOing duplicates?

What about white labels and their main sites? If you look at the image source, many of these sites point to the "parent" / non skin site.

my personal opinion is that if you duplicate it once no big deal. duplicate it twice not really an issue. but then as it gets duplicate more it gets less authority or considered less relevant.

Also the site duplicating it is an issue. If freeones ran rss feeds its going to considered more significant there than if you crappy blog runs it.

thats not trolled, thats an ironic observation, because i too laughed... i still read on, but the initial statement hit me with awkwardness :thumbsup

trolling constitutes repeat offenses...

Penalized is the wrong word, but if you search google and go through the first 10 or 20 pages, you will see this message..

Duplicate content doesn't get you eliminated, just pushed WAYYYY back.

Simply put, his post is bullshit. Google omits "similar" results and he himself indicated it's a factor even if it's a small one. Citing monstrous authority news sites like CNN to say dupe content contains no penalty was just silly. So you mean Google doesn't penalize some of the oldest most respected news orgs in the world for duplicate content? No shit? That's called COMMON SENSE. People expect to see those sites in the results - if they didn't, they would use a different search engine. Google's algorithm being complex is for the sole reason to put sites like those up high in results and fly-by-night sites not so high (for instance, sites that ONLY copy from others and have nothing else to offer, hence...*drumroll* dupe content penalties). Sometimes they fail, but for the most part they don't.

SEO is 99% common sense. What would your objective for search results in your search engine be if you were Google? Give people the results they're trying to find, right? What tactics would you use to fulfill that objective? Answer that and you're more of an SEO expert than most people claim to be.

I thought I'd forego all that with ":1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh" but apparently the OP was butthurt with the irony I pointed out.

No Google does not penalize for duplicate content, now please go and make more pages with duplicate content. Thank you that is all.

grab a brain moran.

no offense but the statemen t was irnoic an dyou arent convincing thousands of people with a thred with absolutely no proof besides speculation.

Perhaps your right.,, but not only does numerous other sites and storeis claim otheriwise.... but so does your own post...

Dont get all bent out of shape... just refute with something solid.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Im not bent out of shape... there is a reason I am making a thread here like that. Thankfully not all of you are clueless. Move along thread over.

gotcha dog! :thumbsup

Google should just hire you because you're so fucking smart

Matt Cutts has spoke on this.

It depends on the type of site, and what is seen as an 'authority' type of thing.

To think a corporate America site is going to have to play by the same rules as a small fry affiliate marketer is insane in the membrane. It doesn't work like that.

Keep making those pages boys!

your logic exudes hate from from my pores...

the unduplicated ones?

Next you'll be saying that non duplicate content is penalized...

If your OP were true... youre not gaining anythign as the ones eliminating their dup cont are doing just fine without your help ...

truly... im boggled...

I really do wonder if people will change the methods out of laziness and heresay rather than results...

not penazlied in any way, just doesnt get indexed

well, that itself has to be considered penalization unles sof course you only blog for hobby rather than gain...

you shut your fucking mouth, that was a compliment and not a warrant for retaliation...

Cool It Champ. I was Busting Your Balls.
 

ROFL loving it!

1) Never believe anything Matt Cutts says. He works for the company that wants to stop you from gaming the system.

2) Original text absolutely matters. If you have exlusive, original text on a terrible site with infrequent updates it will not help you. It is one important factor, not the only factor.

3) You are not CNN, Yahoo, The New York Times, Huffington Post, CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX etc... and Search Engines are able to differentiate your blog from CNN or the BBC.
