I was wondering about duplicate content today and as suggested by Robert, who always has great info, I did a search for this in the search bar. I have truly come to realize that there are very few questions that have not been addressed at some point in time here in the community.

So I searched Duplicate Content and found a great post about this subject that could be poisoning your rankings without you even knowing it. I would recommend that everyone read this post about duplicate content to help you gain those extra 50 or so visitors to your site per day.

thank you for the heads up all the best

You bet!

Duplicate content, as a writer, can destroy your credibility. If you "spin" a piece (rewrite), you have to have a new title, a totally different first paragraph and enough substantial changes all through that the spiders won't detect the dupe content. It's not easy and once they get you on it, they come back. I usually rewrite the entire thing. Great point to make!

Carla, I write everything on my site as original. I never copy and paste just because I believe its not right. Even the quotes that I get from famous people I type in instead of copy and paste. Plus it is a lot more satisfying when writing it myself. Thanks Carla!

Thanks Mike, it answered one of my many questions...

I figured it might help someone else as well. Glad it helped you.

Hi Mike, I heard about it earlier this week, I will go through my site either, thank you for sharing this article, I will bookmark it as a reminder, greetings Loes

You bet Loes. I am going through mine as well. Just never really thought about it before when I was posting my content.

Hi Mike, I believe I deleted/changed all duplicate content :)

How can anyone or anything consider sidebar widgets as duplicates???

I am right there with you Gordi. I did some further investigating and have found anything else on it yet but I will continue to look.

Mike

Please let us know. For that matter, our privacy page should be duplicate too, but we have a nofollow on that one

Gosh just when you think you might have managed it , we will all need to double check lol thanks for showing us this post

You bet Katie...I figured if I thought it was important someone else might as well.

Mike

Thanks... Another little job to do!

Lol...life of a business owner. The work is never "done".

Mike

Really cool info....that´s why I pay writers to make my content original cuz I know that Google is always on the hunt...thanks for sharing it!

Great idea Ornesto. How many sites do you have, and do you pay individuals for every post? Thanks for the feedback!

Mike

I have 5 pages and 7 post so far.Yes I pay individuals for almost every post but I also want to write my own.Today I post it my first "Coconut Tree and Revelation 22:2 " :-)....but for me I´m building my own team so I can concentrate in what I love the most which is the marketing(traffic and conversion)...I really don´t want any trouble with Google....glad you like my idea!

Thanks for sharing this!

You bet Kimberlyn!

Mike

Thank you so much for this. I would have fallen right in this trap as I plan two somewhat similar sites that I intended to share some articles between.

I already fell into it...lol. I will be spending the next couple of hours cleaning things up. Glad it helped!
