Google will penalize your site for having duplicate content online, as well as the article directories. Your site will not get ranked or may even get sandboxed.

Hi Neil, the website duplicatecontent.net is not valid. Could u check it out? Thks.

cmoon10 -- There's no penalty for having duplicate content on your website and say...submitting article content over to ezinearticles.com. As a rule, I reword my content so that it's not all the same. Most marketers will take one lengthy article and split it up into 5 articles, as long as that content flows well. Hope this helps.

Hello,

Thank you for the great tutorial. I have a noob question about duplicate content. If i were to submit an article from my website would I get hit with a duplicate content penalty? Should I in that case have two unique articles?

Thank you again!
