Question About Duplicate Content For The Experienced

by ChristianTrevin
8 replies
I have a quick question about duplicate content on my blog.

I run ppc to a blog that reviews different products. It converts very well but in order to improve my QS I like to take the review page i have and create more targeting different keywords on that same product. So basically ill have a review of idol white on my blog and ppc goin to it. If it converts ill rewrite the article targeting the keyword Idol White Review. Then maybe another one Idol White Free Trial. It gives me great QS however rewriting that article is very time consuming.

Could i do this instead?

Could i just take the exact same article and only change around a few words in the body and the title to the new keyword im targeting and repost it on my blog. YES i understand that will definately fall under the dupe content rule. But as long as it doesnt hurt my blog per say. For example would it hurt my blog overall even on the articles i am targeting for natural seo that i am not doing dupe content with? Or would it only hurt that particular group of articles that are dupe content? If thats the case im ok with that because im mostly targeting for ppc anyways.

If anyone knows could you please shed some light on this? Thanks

UPDATE: I think i found something even easier. Since i have a wp blog here is a plugin that lets you noindex your posts within the write post. It is at yoast dot com

    There are some codes that you can put on your PPC landing pages that tell the google bots not to index that page, so you won't get hit with a dup penalty.

    <meta name="robots" content="no index">

    Put that in the head section of the page that you do NOT want indexed.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

      Actually dennis quick question. If its a blog i dont have access to individual post headers. All my reviews are done in posts. So i would have to put that for all posts or no posts.

      Where could i put this then?

    Don't expect that Google will stay this way forever about dupe contents. It is better to have unique contents on your blog, this way, you won't have to worry if the time comes that dupe contents will have a definite punishment.

      If I worried about every little thing that might happen someday in the future I wouldn't make very much money. :p

    There is no duplicate content penalty. It's a myth. I have several sites that rank on the first page for good keywords that are made up exclusively of duplicate content.

    The only thing about duplicate content is that usually only one page that contains that content will appear for a particular search. It's usually the one with the most backlinks or the most authority that appears. But your entire site won't be hit with a penalty simply for having some duplicate content on it.

    When I first started IM, I wrote one article and forgot to re-write and spin it... Later distributing it to 200+ Article Directories. Lo and behold, my content ranked and I was never slapped...

    Ofcourse during that point I started doing some revision upon finishing my submissions, only to find several blogs telling me that my website would be sandboxed for it.

    I sat there the next 7 days annoyed and worried that'd I had failed before the word go.

    If anything you want to use a piece of software that'll allow you to re-write your sentences so that they are spun during every submission. That way, you can re-write your articles to 30%+ uniqueness in order for the 'Article Directories' to not spot the Article, as most hate duplicated content and will not hesitate to remove it if they find out! So if anything you want to be hiding duplicate content from the directories, not google.

    Although you do want to hold back on the amount of backlinks you create for your site at first, and as it ages increase the daily submissions.

    Jason.
