Backlinks From Duplicate Content...

Hey All,

I wanted to get everyone's opinion on this. What do you all think about back links that are coming from duplicate content? For example you get a pack of PLR articles, and submit them to article directories for some back links. Only problem is about 50 other people had the articles and did the same thing. Would Google penalize you for this? Would they not penalize you, but not give you credit for the backlink? Would you get some credit for the backlink but not full? Or would you get just as much credit as any other original article?

What do you think?

I've heard that Google just will not index any duplicate content, which I guess would give you no credit for the back link. Supposedly the first site to have the content up gets indexed and credit, but any after that no indexing.

I would love to hear opinions on this, or any other information you may have!

  • I think that Google only penalizes a site for duplicate content included on that site, or on the same domain. If not, most of the article marketing directories would probably have a PR of 0.

    Just my thoughts,
    Jeff.
  • Well, from what I read today in that thread about submitting articles to databases, people say that dupe content is generally a myth and only to be avoided on your own site.
  • Ledger's The Best Spinner will make your life a lot easier.

    Rather than buy PLR articles, write a couple from scratch and use a tool like 'the best spinner' to create a bunch of humanly spun content (that makes sense.)

    You'll get far better results when your links are sitting in the middle of unique (or... unique "enough") content. Duplicate content won't penalize you, but Google will not show nearly as much love as far as "passing on the juice" when you submit the same content on multiple websites.
  • What i know for sure is that duplicate content goes in to the suplemental results. As for backlinks, they count, if the page is index everything counts. The weight however, depends on the domain on which they appear.
  • I've received 100s of backlinks to my site from other people using my EZA articles for content on their sites.
  • Another suggestion; Re-write the plr articles to make them original. Then submit them to EZA. And/or use a content spinner as suggested above on those articles.

    You might also post a job on Elance and find someone to re-write them for you.

    You could double, triple, or quadrupal the number of articles you have. And, conceivably, submit them all to EZA, etc.
  • Hi all, does anyone know how to get .edu or .gov backlinks ? i can not find any "do follow "forums as this is only way to get a backlink as far as i am aware.. thx guys

    • Google won't penalize you..that's correct..

      But what will happen is, G. will simply "devalue" these links from duplicate content,

      i.e., if you get 200 backlinks from article dir. from the same article, a small portion of these links will really affect your ranking...

      Spinning your content may help a little, however, regular spinning isn't highly effective, you need to use a smart way to spin your content to make it highly unique....

  • I agree with the guys above. Google won't penalize you

    If they did, you could get nasty people to submit 100's of articles with their competitors links in them
  • First of all you need to learn what article marketing is before you even waste your time. You DO NOT use or submit any junk PLR articles, trash them because they are worthless. Sorry to all those that sell PLR Articles but let's face facts, 90% of all PLR articles are nothing but junk that have been given away at every free giveaway event online..

    Unless you are buying "REAL" PLR articles from someone like Bev or a few others that actually really write the articles and limit the distribution of those articles, then you are seriously wasting your time and money.

    You need to supply quality and well written articles that "you" have written (or your writer has written). You need to make sure these articles are of high quality and give proper information to the reader.

    You can spin these articles if you choose to do so, it is NOT required because duplicate content penalty is a myth. If you choose to spin them then I suggest using a proper tool and using that tool properly. If all you want to use is some junk free spinner then do not bother spinning them at all...

    Bottom line you are not doing article marketing submitting a bunch of PLR for backlinks, you are just junking up the internet some more.

    You seriously need to read this thread

    • thanks for this information. I wonder it for 2 days
  • There was a good post and Don & Jeremy's blog that cleared up quite a few misconceptions for me. I won't plagiarise their content, just look it up.
  • I cannot believe that Google has any technology that will crawl a site, keep, in memory, a copy of all content, and then compare it to everything else on that site, to check for duplicate content. NO WAY! That's Star Trek technology!

    What is obviously true is that good articles get around the Web, and, if the folks who use your articles are honest, then your URL ends up all over the place, and that's it.

    • No Google will never penalize you for that! But you might loose the importance of many backlinks from the duplicate content. Google will simply avoid them and will not count them as backlinks for your site.

  • As long as the directories accept your duplicated contents, you shouldn't have any problem with Google and if those sites have high PR, they will send you some link love.
  • I do not think that backlinks from dupe content can hurt you, but they might not help as much as from unique content.
