Duplicate Content Experiment

I've heard too many mixed things about duplicate content.

I decided to stop listening to others and finding out the truth for myself.

I found a blog I started a while ago but never fully finished (I'm sure I'm the only person in the world whose done this...)

I'm gonna run a little experiment, posting only duplicate content from article directories and such. I'm going to change article titles to include the keywords I'm targeting. Also I'm going to add a short paragraph with my KW above and below the content.

My blog isn't ranking for my main KWs right now. I get a bunch of long tail keyword searches and about 20-50 uniques/day and have about dozen backlinks.

I'll report back soon!

    • Can you elaborate? Is this just redirecting the non www. version to the www version of the url?
  • Duplicate content is a myth. It has been debunked already by countless tests, some conducted by other WF members.

  • I'd appreciate an update on your experiment Tony. Google says this in their blog today "This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites—sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful."

  • This will not work. Duplicate content is the biggest issue in spamming.
  • As far as I know Google considers content duplicate when it repeats on the same site
