Content created by the same hand???

I am pretty sure I have learnt now that Googles bot does not understand or no what the words it reads means, it only recognises patterns and so forth, am I right????

If so someone said to me the other day something about content created by the same hand and the fact that Google is clever enough to see that say a whole website has been writen by the same person??

There may well have been a reason he was telling me this as he was trying to through me off but I still wonder about the question??

What are your thoughts? Lets say you offered 'car hire' and you had the same writter doing all your content.

He has to make a page for each part of the country so the topic is always going to be the same just a difffernt place.

Would it be better to get ALL the content done professionally and by different people of let one person do it?

Just a question?

    Hi marky12345,

    Folks come up with all kinds of weird, speculative theories about Google. Most of it is just their imagination gone wild.

    Google does indeed keep track of connections between users, but they do this primarily to combat click fraud that occurs within their advertising program. I have never seen evidence of them using that data for SERP ranking nor any reason why they would need to.

    I have writers and they may write about the same content. However, each is uniquely (keyword here) done. I think it's best to have different ppl write for you.

    Unless there is an obvious sign, like an author credit, both machines and humans recognize patterns in writing. Many writers will have such a pronounced style that, if you read two pieces, you can tell they were written by the same person.

    I can't imagine how this would have an effect on search ranking. If having content written by the same person was detrimental, ~90% of the sites online would never show in the rankings. Certainly no single-author blogs or small websites.

    Unless the single person doing all the writing is a crappy writer, it shouldn't matter whether your content came from one or many writers.

      Where is the rule that says there is a penalty if you have all sorts of content on the internet from the same writer?

      I don't see why someone writing quite a bit of content would be penalized. I don't see why a search engine would want less pages to choose from to put in their listings.

    Most good valuable websites are written by the same person. I'm deffinately not going to find a new writer everytime I want another page on my website. The main thing is to create quality content. Taking an article on jelly beans and then spinning in 50 times just adding the word red jelly beans, blue jelly beans, etc... would be bad news, but a jelly bean is a jelly bean. You could describe the way each color tastes and why you think people like one color over the other, but it doesn't need to be completely different and by no means written by a new author everytime. I think I'm gowing to get some jelly beans!!

    It is better to do whichever will make you feel better. It won't hurt to have one person write all of the content, but if it makes you feel better to split the task among several people that won't hurt either.
