Onsite Duplicate Content - Experienced Advice Only

I don't think you understand the google definition of "duplicate content".

A while back marketers were using a questionable strategy to make their sites appear larger and more important to the search engines.

They added multiple new pages to the site - but all the pages had the same content on them.

THAT was duplicate content and there was at the time a google duplicate content penalty. It involved site that duplicated pages within the site.

I know some marketers who lost their adsense account by using this duplicating method, too.

If you are talking about reproducing articles as site content, there is no duplicate content penalty unless you are repeating the same info on several pages of the site.

If you are asking about reprinting articles there is no duplicate penalty but a site with only unchanged PLR will find it difficult to rank well. That can be avoided by simply adding a unique paragraph at the beginning and the end of PLR content on your site.

If you are reprinting articles found on article directories that is called syndication, not duplication. A good technique is to add 2-3 lines of your own above the article title that tells the visitor "the article below is an excellent explanation of..." or whatever as the paragraph will add some unique content to the page even though you have reprinted an article that may be found on other sites.

If that doesn't answer your concerns, be more specific please.

Not sure if this helps you any. But when Im faced with multiple pages with similiar keywords, I outsource to numerous writers. This way they write based on similiar keywords, but the articles are entirely different.
