In this video, Matt Cutt’s from Google explains how duplicate content works on the web. He states that a huge amount of the web is duplicate content, and that is OK, however Google works hard to deliver unique content in their results.
Google tries to group content together and treat them as one piece of content. This is why it is so important to make pages unique for SEO, as it allows you to have multiple listings when before you would have only had one listing in the serps. Simple changes to titles, content and meta descriptions can make all the difference.
Cutt’s says that duplicate content is not spam, it is just something that happens and Google needs to deal with. While this is the case, he does state that in some cases, such as in the case of auto-generated content through an RSS feed, duplicate content could be seen as spam and Google reserves the right to take action on that.
You say that more people have read your blog in the last few days than the enrtie year before this point? I would say there is an awakening of consciousness within all Humanity. I have been telling people to read Revelations over again enrtiely- It could be that we are experiencing the end times now and are consciously or subconsciously choosing sides Satan or God? Greed or Love?Keep sending out your Love Bob, You don’t know how far reaching your words reach and whom you may be wakening.Love, Jeff.
Very, very interesting. My husband is trying to start an SEO business and he has this whole gamut of steps he does to make sure he has NO duplicates. So, seems like him trying to find the lesser used content or words is a good thing?
