How Google sees duplicate content

krismatthews · 11-21-2009, 03:53 PM

Hi all,

I hope this is the right area to post this. My question is about posting the same articles and videos on multiple sites. Traffic Geyser and Ping.FM and other aggregators do this type of thing, and although it creates more backlinks (good for SEO), does Google penalize your page rank due to duplicate content?

I was recently at a conference and talked to Mark Effinger. He said that as long as you post them 24 hours apart you should be ok. This sounds a bit laborious though.

Any comments?

Thanks!

Kris

I think the short answer is no, no penalizing. But I really recommend this video which deals with this issue from google itself.

(remove the spaces, and replace dot with . can't post links)

There is no penalizing - I think which ever gets indexed first - gets the credit. The other pages are not as effective.

Use the search function here to look for thread about duplicate content - you'll find the answers from those who know - with explanations and links as proof - and a lot of comments from those who don't know, too

Short answer - don't worry about it. 24 hr wait is likely so that the syndication of an article is spread out to reach a greater market instead of just appearing everywhere on one day.
