Duplicate Content & Google

It is definitely duplicate content! And, you may even be banned

Didn't expect to receieve so many responses to this thread, well like someone said before, im going to have to test it out myself. I personally believe from other information i have read that a penalty doesn't exist, because it would take google a long time to process through a **** load of sites to determine if content is duplicated.

Did not even bother to read the thread or even view the video Tim posted (Thanks Tim)..

This is the reason why this myth will never die because people are to lazy to actually take action and read something that has been proven a million times over...

Some folks are talking of trying to RANK the dupe content ... which was not the OP's query... while others are discussing whether the dupe content will result in some sort of penalty by google ...

I for one could care less about "ranking" dupe content ... I just want the backlinks from it. Meaning I want ot put my content - dupe/ semi-dupe/ spun / exact copy et al ... on web porperties and have it indexed and the links count - as they all point to the original content :-)

So the interesting thing to me in this thread is - the fine print by Loz.

Quote:

you'll notice that google will show approx 12-16 of those duplicate articles, with a link under the last result saying they ommited more results that matched your query and to click on it to view more results, when you do, bobs ya uncle, there's all your other links / articles that google will NOT count!

So Loz ... Im not disagreeing, Im wanting to know how I could TEST whether google "counted" / "gave me credit for", the backlinks in the duplicate content in the supplemental index - as you mention above. Yes Ive seen my dupe content on sites all over the web that is in that "Supplemental Index" results.

Is there a way we can know for sure which pieces of the dupe content google is and isnt counting?

Ive done a little testing - but Im not sure of the results?

Well here's a very unscientific example for you, but I think it's pertinent.

Aside from being in this silly IM business, I'm also an entertainer. I just googled my name with quotes and came up with 2,210 results. In skimming through them I can see that some are for some guy in England with the same name, but not the majority.

The summaries displayed are very similar in many cases, three identical ones on the first page alone, and two more on the second page, mainly because they reference a few different agents that I use, all with the same bio, along with my own website.

I can tell you that there aren't a lot of backlinks there - I wish there were.

And it's not because the sites are new - I've been performing for over 22 years - long before I had a presence on the internet.

So how come the same duplicate content shows up so often over these 2,000+ posts? I can only guess that it's because the whole duplicate content thing is a myth.

I think, that in this case, at least, the Google representatives are telling the truth.

Think of that! Google telling the truth. Imagine.
