So let me get this

So let me get this straight...

If I write original articles, but somebody decides to completely copy and paste all the stuff onto their website, google won't attack my website ranking?

Also:

what would happen if someone just copy and pasted my website article into their website?

Thanks!

RE: Google and Duplicate Content

Doug,

Thanks for the great article on duplicate content. However I have a couple of questions. You state the following:

"...Duplicate content can exist on your site without any penalties occurring as a result, according to Sven Naumann..."

I have heard similar responses, however the caeat has always been, 'duplicate content with the most backlinks always wins". What is your response to this?

I am also curious as to the meaning of duplicate content: do you infer someone stealing or scraping your content? For example, a webmaster copying and pasting an entire page of content or a robot programed to scrape paragraphs of blurbs from cyberspace?

Also, what about two eqully great webmasters with similar themes such as gardening using a PLR article and posting it directly on the home page?

Dave, your comments are appreciated!

Sincerely,

Daniel Tetreault.

Duplicate Content & Sleepless Nights on Google

Thanks Doug,

Glad to read those points on Duplicate Content
in Google. I do a lot of article marketing and
have always worried about this issue. In addition,
more than one site has scraped my original content
directly from my sites...

Unlike Gabriella I do worry about what Google
is doing since 80% of my online income comes
directly or indirectly from Google traffic. ;-(

Even moving down one spot in Google SERPs
means a direct cut in earnings... so any penalties
have to be taken seriously.

Google is the new plastic!

Cheers

Duplicate content

I have wondered about that. I write for several blogs and sometimes the articles get picked up by other blogs. Plus I upload them on my site for my readers to enjoy. I realize this may not be a "huge" amount of duplication but when is it considered going overboard.

As far as loosing sleep over what Google does, Pffffffftttt give me a break lolol :)

Thanks for your time and any response

Gabriella
