Does PANDA prefer to eat Farmers or Syndicates?

[oscarmike]

Hi Guys,

I have just recently learned about the "real" score about duplicate content. I have always thought that it concerns same exact content in two or more different websites but in reality, what google (allegedly) penalizes are same exact contents in the same domain.

With this understanding, i would like to ask how does google differentiate a "legitimate" syndicate from a "shady" farmer? To me, i can differentiate the difference between the two depending on the websites purpose; i.e. BlogX, an Autoblog, was created to generate content related to topic X for the benefit of Blogger X, While BlogY a localized online newspaper site syndicates content from Associated Press for the purpose of providing news their primary service, But can google see or determine the difference between them?

Your replies are highly appreciated.

Thanks!


p.s. im actually thinking of creating my own automated "job website". I know that the philippine scene is already saturated with majority of the players posting from the same source, but i think i need this experiment to have actual experience in autoblogging / web administration.
