You will not get good google rankings with duplicate content but let's say you have written some good content and are ranked number one on page one of google and some #$%$#@&a
The one that plagiarized the content will be penalized. Google doesn't appreaciates copied material. They even ban persons from the adsense program for plagiarizing
Yes it would be, but I was just wondering if that hurts the creator of the content. Reading the reactions below I guess it doesn't hurt the creator of the content.
I think that the author's ranking stays the same and the plagiarizer gets sandbagged. His content goes nowhere in the rankings. Google seems to be pretty firm about this policy, so don't worry about it. Just wow everyone with your creative and original content. You'll be glad you did. The more you write, the easier it becomes to write the original content you want to.
I agree with BHaran about what would happen. Google would probably recognize that it was copied and it would be damaging to the person taking content, not the creator.
I'm pretty sure Google would punish the publisher of the duplicate content without affecting your ranking.
Thank you for copying my content! Lynne's post speaks to this issue.
I don't think you have anything to worry about..but, they do ; )
I don't think it will hurt you if you are the original author of the content, it will eventually come back on the other person. Just my opinion.
Google knows you are the original writer and will penalise the site that copies. You won't be harmed but they will!

Hey Alan,
If your content is 'first to market' and gets indexed by Google along with it ranked number one, then any plagiarized material would not outrank you because you got there first which essentially proves that you were the initial content creator.
Hi, Alan. Would duplication of affiliate disclosure statements affect one's ranking?
It's annoying how some affiliate programs require disclosure statements to be in proximity to the link, and I'm still thinking if I should do that since it will really disrupt the flow of the content and throw a monkey wrench into the design.
Thanks Alan, that's reassuring. I wondered about this myself as I know that the search engines don't like duplicate content. Cheers.
Hi Grendall, I'm a newbie at this so I think you should post your question so that the more experienced members can help you out.
Hi David,
Similar to privacy policy pages, duplication of affiliate disclosure statements is OK as it is expected.
So, to clarify, your affiliate disclosure statement & privacy policy pages are OK to be duplicate.

Is a keyword with 986 avg searches and a qsr of 7 considered an ok keyword or a killer(must use) keyword ?

I'm not at that stage yet but I was just wondering about everybody's experience
Sign up for both, aljoli, as you will probably find items on both sites that you can affiliate market. More importantly than the affiliate marketing relationships though is the way you approach those affiliates. If you cover your site with affiliate widgets then you are an intermediary re-seller. That doesn't work very well. What you want to do is create a reason why people will click on your affiliate widgets to purchase something that they can just as easily by going directly to either Amazon or Ebay. The answer to that is CONTENT and approach. Good luck, aljoli. DAN
aljoli: bob7927 seems to think that ebay doesn't even have an affiliate program. If that is true then there you have it. However, it is not uncommon for a post on a website to have two or three widgets advertising from different affiliate vendors. DAN
So you can't be an Amazon affiliate if you live in Missouri? That seems very weird, but I am just learning the ropes of all of this.
There are a number of states in the US were if you reside there you can't become an affiliate of Amazon. And I think the same goes for me as I live in a whole other country. I haven't researched it yet.
depends on what you want to offer and what you know something about because you have to be credible
