Hi Warriors,
I have a question and I really need your right answers, please no guessing

I have 2 websites (Amazon products) with all pages (100% unique) passed copyscape, all pages have 500-800 words

but I use a plugin which does a comparison charts for the products features (it compares usually 4-5 similar products)
these comparison chart because it takes the contents from Amazon, this makes duplicate contents of 10%-15%)

so is this percentage acceptable ??

    Sorry, I only have my own experience to use to offer any advice, so if my guess is not allowed as an answer I can't give you any input.

    I think you need to ask your question to Google to get the only factual answer.

      Remember, if someone is having some pages ranked on first page of google with a % of duplicate contents then you can submit it here and it will not be a guess but it will be a fact

    For me the percentage you have mentioned is more than enough,i prefer not have a single % of duplicate content on my site.

    Duplicate content shall not have any issue, until you are having it as content curation which mean mixing your own content with other's content and giving credits or attribute via link back to original source of the content.

    This is called as content curation technique and so far i read on the internet Google loves content curation IMO.

    That is not duplicate content.

    Here is a more thorough explanation of what duplicate content means.

    No one can make 100% unique content. Copy scape pass means not 100% unique. From my own experience it's acceptable 60-70% uniqueness.

      Since amazon itself uses boatloads of the same, copied content, I guess
      the point is moot.
