Hit With a Duplicate Content Penalty?
Posted on November 22, 2007
Articles and Duplication Content Penalties
Who said that? Or should I say who said it first? It seems the issue of duplicate content 
is hotter that ever right now.
Often SEO gurus and webmasters are very aggressive in finding plagiarism. As the air thickens, the echo of penalties are being heard louder and louder, webmasters have the microscope on their webpages out of fear of being slapped with the duplicate content penalty.
From my experience there are many different ways you can get caught in the dreaded Dupe-poop filter tied into the LSI.
If your rankings are on a downward spiral then the contents of some of your pages may be suffering form a duplicate content penalty. The “duplicate content penalty” myth is not a myth as some webmasters believe. Please take a bit of your valuable time and dedicate it to researching how dramatically having contents that are in duplicate form can be to you ranking.
We must understand and accept the fact that Google has the technology to spot duplication from a mile away. They know what is:
- Original Expert Content
- Original Content
- PLR with changes
- PLR
- What webmasters have more duplication that others
Based on the above classes of duplication, your writings are scored accordingly. I have also listed them in the order I believe to be correct.
Does it Apply to Articles that Are Not on Your Site?
I am not sure that I can honestly answer that because so many people may reprint your article without your control. Unfortunately, all the testing I have done tells me that article directory spam is being flagged and devalued (at least). The article directory spam I refer to is the same article existing in many submission directory locations. What it boils down to is if you are an article marketing entrepreneur you cannot submit the same article to many directories or you risk getting zapped as a duper.
Many Webmasters think that if you publish enough articles (regardless of duplication) and get them indexed that it will help your cause….e-h-h-h-h-h WRONG. With confidence I can tell to that if you submit 3 or 4 unique articles in a day they will have a better long term effect than submitting the same article to 100’s of directories.
Look at it the Way it is
How many times do you need to say the same thing and how many times do we need to read it? Once is plenty. Now your article writing expenses just went through the roof! Yes, they have but there is a loud call now for unique, expertly written content. It is up to you how you want to react to reality. The search engines know how to separate expert writers from novice. There is simply too much junk on the net that doesn’t need to be there and that’s what is being sorted out by the mighty search gods. The best way for you to market to search engines through article directories is by writing your own articles with unique spins.
Many think that this can be dangerous and malicious for Google to become so ruthless. There is no publicly stated clearly defined explanation on the “duplicate content penalty” breakdown other than what the engineers at Google tell us which is vague but some insights may be formed from them.
You may here phrases like…
“Oh, i believe there definitely is a duplicate content penalty all right, it just doesn’t seem to me to have anything to do with duplicate content.”
Most of the time webmasters make statements like this when they have been penalized…in a state of denial. Whether the webmasters cries are heard or not doesn’t matter. Google does not have to explain the reasons they ban a site to anyone. Will a duplicate content penalty hurt me? Yes, if you depend on search engines as a source of traffic this can be quite painful.
Here’s the way I see it. I only need to say something meaningful in an article once. Any repetitive phrases are wasting the readers time. So why not make yourself happy and others by saying something new and helpful? Just opening my eyes and looking at how much duplicated content is out there tells me it’s about time the search engine’s have taken action…and they have!
