Partial duplicate content

by bobjonesjunk Posted: 11 years ago 2 replies

I have a question in regards to penalization due to duplicate content. Are you penalized for using partial duplicate content on pages? As an example, I have a restaurants by location page that gives 100 word descriptions for the restaurants in a particular area. I would like to use those same descriptions on a new page for restaurants by type. The restaurants by type page would essentially be 100% duplicate content but it would be pulling from numerous different pages. Is this type of content penalized?

First of all content can't be partially duplicate. Either they are or absolutely not.
But in your case here the situation is different. You are stating that your page will pull out the data of other pages as a preview which I will say that is not duplicate. You are just showing them as the search engines shows their SERP's (images, web or videos), changing the parameters. So, its all good.

If the same content is published on two sites (regardless of whether two people "claim" to have written the posts or a single person claims to have written both), Google will see that as duplicate content and one or the other will be filtered (removed) from the search results. They will never show both posts for the same search query. Alternatively, you could use rel="canonical" to indicate which version of the article you want to have indexed.
