Duplicate Content question

I recently heard that it's not considered "duplicate content" by search engines when the same author name is used when posting an article in more than one place. Does this sound right?

Thanks for your help.

    The only real concern for duplicate is having the same content on the same site. Even with Ezinarticles you don't have to publish unique content to be effective.

      yes exactly. you do not at all need to worry about duplicate content on article sites unless they say so themselves. only worry about it on your own site because google will double index it and it will reduce the importance.

        Google will penalize for duplicate articles on your website or I believe if you have the same content on another site that lists your name as the owner.

        I don't think Google can really ever penalize anyone for any duplicate articles on the web. If they decided to do this you could just copy your competitors' articles and with fake names publish them everywhere. Auto-bloggers who scrape content would be putting the owner of the original content out of business.

        Ezine Articles will publish exact duplicates of an ORIGINAL article, provided they have the same author name on each article. They do check at the time of publication.

        But they are thinking about changing this.

    Interesting views above...

    Duplicate content is fine. Just don't target the same keywords that the content is already ranking for..

    Google won't show the same article twice in the top 10 easily!

    Cheers,

    It is better if you rewrite the entire article and submit it in article directories. It makes no duplicate content issues if you rewrite the entire article,

    Google is not more particular when it comes to duplicate content but the drawback is it is hard to rank a site with duplicate content.

      The recent update to google's algorithm last month may have changed things a bit, can't post link but here is exert from google post on 24th Feb 2011

      "Many of the changes we make are so subtle that very few people notice them. But in the last day or so we launched a pretty big algorithmic improvement to our ranking—a change that noticeably impacts 11.8% of our queries—and we wanted to let people know what’s going on. 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. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on."

      Reading that it seems they are targeting autoblog sites and the like.

      Regards

      John

    Yes of course. Google may penalize your site for duplicate contents.
