How Google sees duplicate content

Hi all,

I hope this is the right area to post this. My question is about posting the same articles and videos on multiple sites. Traffic Geyser and Ping.FM and other aggregators do this type of thing, and although it creates more backlinks (good for SEO), does Google penalize your page rank due to duplicate content?

I was recently at a conference and talked to Mark Effinger. He said that as long as you post them 24 hours apart you should be ok. This sounds a bit laborious though.

Any comments?

Thanks!

Kris

    I think the short answer is no, no penalizing. But I really recommend this video which deals with this issue from google itself.

    There is no penalizing - I think which ever gets indexed first - gets the credit. The other pages are not as effective.

      Use the search function here to look for thread about duplicate content - you'll find the answers from those who know - with explanations and links as proof - and a lot of comments from those who don't know, too:rolleyes:

      Short answer - don't worry about it. 24 hr wait is likely so that the syndication of an article is spread out to reach a greater market instead of just appearing everywhere on one day.

    If you are using the same content just make sure you link back to the original source and it will be considered syndicated content, not duplicate.

    I don't think that it would penalize your site. But the amount of duplicate content very low. For example: Don'st post the same article more than 100 times. Keep it less as much as possible because google does not like spam as we all know.
