Duplicate Content Question

Hi

I have a website which promotes affiliate products. Would it be considered duplicate content if I use the same product title in my posts as the post title e.g. product called Grim Reaper Pro SX on merchant/creators website > can I create a post title with the same name, nothing more, nothing less?

I am currently creating my own unique content in the short descriptions and body of teh post, but I really do want to use the product name and nothing more in the title.

Is that OK?

  • IMO It will be a good idea if you can change the title even a little bit (like say by adding you site or category name at the end), and also otherwise should not be a big concern if you use the same exact wording as the same title is not appearing in your site.

    • OK that makes sense.

      But what if I did decide to use the exact same names, would I get flagged and if so would those flags hurt me in any way?

    • Make the post title and header work for you. Make them catchy and ask a question that you answer in the body of the content.

      Your aim to get them to click on your affiliate link. Good titling can really help you.
  • Titles that have keywords and also attract readers is the best way to go.

    "7 Tips to Lose Weight in 30 Days" is much better than "Tips to Lose Weight"
  • That's a bad title, anyway. You need to describe what the product does in the title, as well. Keywords 101.
  • It's not very difficult to recognize a duplicate content, if you only do little title change,
    I prefer taking an idea from the original article and then re-writting it, so it becomes a totally different as compared to the original.
  • Maybe I am explaining it wrong.

    Think about a store, only none of the products are mine. They are all affiliate products, people come to that store purely to look for these products. Why would I change the name of the products just because I am afraid of duplicate content issues? Is there a good reason I would confuse people for?
