Does Disclaimer On Every Page Reduce SEO Rankings?

by ActionToCash Posted: 11 years ago 6 replies

Hello SEO's,

I am adding a short legal disclaimer near the top of the body of every article I add to a website I'm building. The article pages are about 850 words each after the short 3 sentence disclaimer. There are about 30 pages on the site once the content is finished.

The identically worded disclaimer is used for each of the article pages I build to ensure my butt is covered.

Will this harm my SEO rankings since it's duplicate content that I add to each page?

Thank you! :confused:

You could make the disclaimer text an image so the disclaimer text isn't adding unwanted keywords/text to the page for SEO.

What yukon said is absolutely correct. It won't mess up with the keyword density or anything, too.

Also, why not place it near the bottom of the article/site instead of the top. A lot of space saved, above the fold.

Including a link to a distinct disclaimer page would be better. Or as Yukon said, put it all in a picture so the text doesn't effect anything.

Or it is better if you put it in footer, if it has too importance then you can high light with color so people would see easily.

not very much... use quoted text if you feel any decrease in rankings..
