Thanks, cool.
If we all use this content wouldn’t it count as duplicate content i.e :nono: by Google etc?
That’s my question,too
I know… Just correct the spelling of ‘Gibralter’! Maybe that will eliminate the duplicate penalty! Sorry, couldn’t resist.:devil:
It’s a press release.
Google expects to find press releases to be duplicate.
I use them all the time without repercussions.
Hi Dominique,
Thanks for the reply, do you know what method Google uses to distinguish between press releases and copied/scraped content?

I’ll leave it in to save this post from getting CAP dropped from Google for duplicate content ok

I’m not actually sure but the feedback from the SEO folk I spoke to was the same as Dom’s.
The one suggestion was to add all Press Releases to a News page which because it will always be growing (with new releases) will not be penalised.
Ok thanks, always learning this crazy world of SEO.

Haha, I wish I knew what went on in google’s head.
But I have been using press releases verbatum on blogs for a long time and no problem.
Most press releases have a strong copyright and you are allowed to copy but not change.
Although I have snuck links in there.
I share alot of my articles as promotions for my gambling content site… and I use nearly all of the articles I find here, or submitted on my other website, if for no other reason then to help the folks writing for backlinks out. I also post a few press releases that interest me.
The result seems to be that these duplicate pages get a PR of about 2 most of the time, sometimes even 1. However, it doesnt seem to have any effect on the site as a whole.. just a lower PR for that one particular page.
