Duplicate vs Syndicated Content

Yes you are wrong. That is plagiarism even though duplicate content issues also arise from the re-produced content since it has an original somewhere else.

If however it was published with the original owner's name and links intact, no plagiarism would be involved, it would only be duplicate content. But note as explained in my next post, duplicate content across sites is not necessarily penalized by Google except in certain specified circumstances.

Duplicate content is more or less identical content found on the same or on different websites. Syndicated content is one way by which duplicate content can arise.

The confusion arises because not all duplicate content is penalized by Google. Duplicate content on different sites is not penalized by Google unless in certain specified circumstances. On the other hand, most duplicate content on the same site is penalized by Google but here again there are some exceptions specified where it is not penalized.

Note that "duplicate" is an english word and in the dictionary and has only one meaning which is more or less "mirror". It is not the coinnage of Google and so whenever there is more or less a "mirror" of another content, it is a "duplicate" of that content.

SEO-related duplicate content issues (i.e., penalisation of your site in the SERPs) usually only arise if the content duplicated has been done so across multiple pages of the same site, and in such a way as to give Google reason to judge it as an attempt to game their search-results in ways that are in violation of their accepted practices. In (most) other cases, all that happens is that it's filtered out of the SERPs.

Content duplicated (or "syndicated", rather) across multiple sites - whether legitimately (with the original author's/owner's consent) or otherwise - doesn't usually pose any risk of "duplicate content issues" arising from an SEO perspective, in the sense that your own site's good standing and ranking positions in the SERPs will not be negatively impacted.

It might pose a problem in the sense that if it's illegitimately copied, it's plagiarism / copyright infringement, but that's a different matter entirely (and not something you'd usually label a "duplicate content issue", but rather an issue of legality).

I hope it is ok to write in this thread.

I have problems with duplicate content. Well that's what Google are saying :-(

Anyway. I got my site deindexed about 2 months from now. And I know that my site was not unique.
So I decided to clean my site and start from beginning.
After that I approved about 10 articles and send my site to Google for reconsideration.
And guess what, my site still was not good enough for Google. Remember that I only had about 10 articles on my site. They where (I think) spun article. So they where not 100% unique. I checked for duplicate content and they where about 2-3 sites that had some sentence with the same content that my site.

So I don't know anymore what to do. My site has been deindexed now 2 months. Can it be de design of the site that makes my site not goog enoth for google?

Sorry but i doubt your site will ever get reindexed.
I keep wondering when the people with deindexed dup content sites are going to chime in. this is blowing my mind and the dust isnt settling in there!
everything i thought about content is changing.

i just hear so much about people being indexed...

For those who believe that spinning articles for article marketing is not necessary (just for backlinks, not for ranking the article) ...

Is it ok to use PLR for this?

Double first cousins?

Two sets of identical twins marry and reproduce. Since both mothers and both fathers are genetically identical by definition, their offspring will also be genetically identical with no overlapping parentage.

OK, I was close. Regular double first cousins would have the same DNA as siblings, not identical twins.

Dolly Parton's great great grandfather and mine were double first cousins.

That, and about $14 will get me a “Decaf, Double, Venti, 5 pump White mocha, 3 pump Peppermint, half soy, half non-fat, no foam, one hundred and eighty, light choclate whip, carmel drizzle inside and out, with cinnnamon and chocolate powder on top, white mocha” at Starbucks.
