Dupe Content on Some Site for PPC Campaign? Will I be Penalized?

The Oilman · 02-06-2009, 05:44 PM

I am 'niching' out a product where I want to have multiple landing pages on one site, all selling similar yet differnet versions of a similar product.

Will google penalize me if I have very similar landing pages? Will I get a poor quality score?

I dont see me doing anything wrong, and dont feel I should be penalized... but .. dont want to risk it

Any PPC people out there?

Google won't penalise you if you make only one of the pages bot-able. If you have indexed pages with duplicate content on the same site, penalty!

Thanks

It just doesn't make sense..

Surely there are many ecommerce sites with the same content on each page, but with only some slight variation in the descriptions --- right?

Right - but only one of them will be available to Google to index.

Google is only interested in duplicate content on pages submitted for bot crawling - other pages don't get indexed and don't affect any of the Google sensitivities.
