Google’s Duplicate Content "Penalty"

JillO asked 3 years ago
Thanks to its seemingly straightforward name, Google’s Duplicate Content “Penalty” is rapidly becoming one of the most misunderstood concepts ever to come from the search engine giant. Hey… I thought that it was a true-blue penalty, too. To help gain clarity, I just wanted to share the following article that breaks down the basics every webmaster should know about this highly misleading topic.

Yes, it is a good post about a very common misconception.
It is only a penalty only in the sense that you are not rewarded for copying the same old thing onto different sites.

Sounds like a term that the IRS would come up with.

Really if your article is stolen, it should count as a reference and increase the score of the original page don’t you think?

Totally agree. It definitely says something good about the site being copied.

Absolutely.

A new way to build authority ‘stealability’.
And then when you get repeatedly hacked, it’s ‘tarketability’.

That’s what we need is an ‘anti-google algorithmics’ or a ‘google2too’.

Now, then who wants to trade thefts and rank high on that index measure.
