Googles definition of duplicate content is quite clear, and for many looking for ways to improve the SEO of their website, it is the ideal place to use as a reference point. Remember, duplicate content isn’t just when copy is scraped from another website, it is also copy that is located on your own website on multiple URLs.īoth of types of duplicate content can negatively impact the SEO of a website, and while it is relatively easy to fix, there are many people who are not aware of the impact of duplicate content. There are a lot of duplicate content myths out there, make sure you know what AHREFS said about it and what Moz says about duplicate content. The easy fix is to modify the content on subsequent pages, so it is page specific and tagged as original. Penalty? Not exactly, but it sure feels like one. We don’t want to use the word penalty, but in reality, if you are duplicating your own content across multiple pages, it in the end will force Google to place certain pages in the SERPs and leave out others. Even within a single website there can be duplicate content that leads to reduced SERP positioning for important content. If the content is replicated across a single website or on more than one URL, it is classified as duplicate content. If content appears in any location on the internet more than once, it is classified as duplicate content. (these bullets borrowed from Searchengineland). If they can’t crawl all the versions, they can’t consolidate the signals. Do not block access to duplicate content.
If someone is duplicating your content without permission, you can request to have it removed by filing a request under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.Google tries to determine the original source of the content and display that one.
