Penalty for Duplicate Content: A Myth or a Fact?

Penalty for Duplicate Content: A Myth or a Fact?

Duplicate content Is the issue with the penalty for duplicate content really a problem, or does the claim have some merit? To a certain extent, I believe there is. In certain examples you can get vigorously punished by Google for specific copy content offenses for different types of copy content there truly is no extraordinary punishment, let me attempt to make sense of.

The main problem with duplicate content is content on your own website. It doesn’t take much to figure that this is a terrible idea because it only hurts the user experience. Google will punish you heavily if the same content appears multiple times on the same domain.

There are a number of issues you may need to address when dealing with this content on-site. The obvious one is duplicated content you placed on your site, which you must physically address. Second, there are often-ignored server-side issues that need to be fixed. These issues could lead to problems with duplicate content due to Google’s algorithm misinterpreting your website or correctly interpreting incorrect server-side configuration. The majority of these issues can be resolved by accessing and reconfiguring your.ht access file.

I think that off-site content duplication is less of a problem; your website won’t be penalized in the same way as above. For instance on the off chance that you make a remarkable piece of content and circulate it unaltered to say thirty article catalogs and connection back to your blog I accept that you’ll just get interface squeeze or full weight credit from a few connections and perhaps some decreased credit from a few more.

Because other people are picking up your articles and republishing them, you would expect that these links will have some weight in the eyes of Google. However, it makes sense that the same piece that has been duplicated hundreds of times may be viewed as someone attempting to outperform the system; therefore, common sense dictates that the weight applied to these links would be significantly reduced and in excess may be penalized.
