Google Not Perfect With Duplicate Content

By Michael Gray - Sat, 11/24/2007 - 13:02

Think Google is a good as they would have you believe they are about detecting duplicate copy, then take a look here [fireproof safe with power]. Since result two links to result one I’d say result two is probably the original and Google got it wrong.

In this case the comments probably played a big role in the uniqueness of the documents when compared to one another. From a purely hypothetical point of view what if you cloaked the unique factors and served them only to the bots. What if you took some standard non unique data feeds and uniquified them on the fly.

Serve your real visitors lovingly written marketing copy, serve the bots some really unique substitute and replaced copy with a bit of relevant RSS mashedup style copy, hypothetically speaking of course.

no problem here

I don't think I am seeing the same results as you. I don't see a problem with the results, and none seem to be linking to the same content.

Google also discriminatory

Google Adsense is also not very fair in their sites approval process.

I have seen sites they clearly indicate in their approval information that thety claim they do not accept adult content type sites, IE, adult/pornographic but I see many sites that are clearly in that class that they approve, but yet others they re-ject..why?

What's the difference between one site that they accept then the do not accept a site that is not as adult as ones I have seen they do accept...discriminatory or what?

Do they have a hidden agenda in accepting some sites they supposedly do not allow?
