Subject: duplicate content

Hi,
I know Google had been strict when it comes to duplicate content but
for SEO purposes, we submit articles and press releases to submission
sites. We submit one article and press release to many different
submission sites. Will google consider that as duplicate content
because those article submission sites would have the same articles?

Thanks,

Lovo

Google usually does a great job of providing
unique content in the SERPs and to do so
sometimes it needs to filter out duplication
so the most differentiated results get top billing.

These posts by Google might help.

This one refers to session ID's but IMO it gives a valuable
insight into the duplicate filtering process.

Hope that helps,

Hi,

That helps a lot. Thanks.
But i'd like some definite answers about my question: does article
submissions and press release submissions are considered duplicate
content.
on the article, i think that involves duplicating content on your own
site. Google said place robots.txt and robots meta tag on your page if
you have duplicate content, but you cannot add those on other sites.
if we are going to create an article about a certain topic and submit
those on different article submissions site, will Google consider that
duplicating content?
like article 1 submitted to article-a.com, article-b.com, article-
c.com and so on...

So you want to duplicate the same article on your site and article-
a.com, article-b.com, article-c.com and so on...and you wonder if
Google will think it's duplicated?

Yes they will, because it is, or is there some underlying issue I am
not grasping?

no. im not trying to duplicate the content,
"on the article, i think that involves duplicating content on your own

what i meant about the "on the article" is the article by google on
this page>> http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66359
sorry I was vague on that.

what im trying to ask is that... if im going to write an article of my
own, an article with a unique content and submit that article to many
article submission sites and press release submission sites, will it
be considered as duplicate content by Google?

let say for exam this one:
if you search this phrase "The Not-so-mushy Statistics During
Valentine's Day"

results are:
http://www.articlesbase.com/relationships-articles/the-notsomushy-sta...
http://www.journal-a-day.com/Relationships/398359-the-notsomushy-stat...
http://www.articlepros.com/society_and_culture/Traditions/article-573...
http://www.insiderreports.com/storypage.asp?StoryID=20019112

they are all of the same content but on different sites. and those
sites were all free article submission sites.

Subject: Re: duplicate content
Duplicated content anywhere is duplicated content.

In fatc it's more easily understandable and forgivable if it's on your
own site, since you may have trouble controling software like blogs
and CMS from doing this just by having differnt url's for the same
stuff. On your own site Google will usually sort it out an dpick one
url for that content and suppress the others.

But if you post the same stuff on other sites then you are knowingly
causing duplication. if the site that contains that duplicated content
of yours happens to ba betetr ranked than your own site, they will
come out on top and your own site  might not  even show at all for
that same content.

You can submit different versions to other sites, so as not to compete
with your own site.

Safe from what?  If it's not your site...you cannot get in trouble.
This is the most confusing thread I've read in a while.

Hi!

With regards to article/PR submissions and duplicate conents, what if
you are pointing at the same link you are trying to promote.
For example, I have Press release about widgets, on my Press release,
www.samplewidgetsite.com can be seen. And i will submit it to, let's
say 20 Press Release submission sites. Well, it's obvious that i am
sending the same content on PR sites with  the link of my site on
it....is that really harmful to my site's serps and page rank?

Subject: Re: duplicate content
Matt Cutts (with Google) said at an SES session on duplicate content:

"A lot of people ask about needing to split articles into parts and
[about creating] printable versions. Do not worry about G penalizing
for this."

Google does not penalize for articles being on various sites... your
own or others.  You can test this for yourself.  Find any article
published on the Internet.  Type the exact title into Google and
you'll see numerous sites come up in the search results that all list
the same, exact article. For example, type in "how to write little
tiny adwords ads that bring giant-sized profits" and you'll see what I
mean. Right now Google reports 298 sites where this article is listed.
I've found similar results for all my own articles and my clients'
articles.

Putting articles on your own site and submitting them all around the
'Net is still a safe form of marketing. :)
