Gosh, Does Google Penalize Duplicate Contents?
Hey WA Family
Someone recently asked me about duplicate contents recently ...
Although I already know that Google doesn't penalize duplicate contents but I want to make sure ... and so I do a google search. :)
In a Youtube video entitled Google Q&A on Duplicate content, Google's Andrey Lipattsev was determined that Google will not penalize duplicate contents.
Now, if Google does not punish webmasters on duplicate contents, then what is the loss for webmasters?
In other words, your website rankings will definitely be affected and impacted negatively ... that is all ...
So, how do I check if my website has duplicate contents?
Simple, go to copyscape or another place I found is duplichecker
So, my friends, content is king ... don't be lazy ... keep writing ... Okay?
Nothing to write?
Here are some tips :

I'm not sure what word Google uses for their procedures but if someone reports to Google that their content has been copied, Google investigates and takes down the content. That's what happened in my case. I reported someone stealing my content and 2 weeks later the content was taken down. Alanna
Hi Jewel, many thanks this is really helpful information. I guess by default if my content is not good enough to rank, then I am penalizing myself! Off to refocus myself, Sue :)
This I described in my training in 2016, all from Google's representatives when they were talking publicly about this issue, Duplicate content issues There is no duplicate content, this is just a myth. It never existed.
If you write your content in site content here at WA, before you publish, it checks that your content is unique for you. If it's not it will warn you.

Hey Karen, that is the beauty of Wealthy Affiliate, it is great to know, our sites are hosted elsewhere, thanks for info. Now, the more we need to grab the WA Black Friday deal ... :)
Site content is part of the tools we get at Wealthy Affiliate. It is not hosted elsewhere. You can find it by clicking on the blue tab on the left of your dashboard. I think it is the fourth option in the drop down menu.
