Are there any adverse effects of duplicate content?
- SEO |
Are there any adverse effects of duplicate content? Take an example of article directories. Recently, I have downloaded a PLR articles pack from a website, which was giving it for free.
There are almost 100,000 PLR articles in that pack, but most (almost each one) of them are submitted to different famous article directories. Most of them are exact copies of the same article.
I have heard that Google and other search engines penalize sites with duplicate content. Most of these article directories have duplicate content, but still they are ranked nicely in Google and other search engines.
So, does duplicate content has any adverse effects on SEO? I need some advice on this.
Thanks in advance
