What exactly is Duplicate Content ?
-
Hello,
I want to learn How Google takes those website, which are purely based on Lyrics or Poems? Because, you really can't alter the lyrics of song websites or poems?
Same song lyrics does appear on many websites, so will Google will call this as "cut and paste" content?

You are correct. This is essentially "duplicate content". I would have to assume that Google would then rank these types of pages on metrics other than content (inbound links, social shares, other SEO metrics... and probably breadth of a content library). But who really knows?
You could just start comparing those types of sites to and get a good idea how Google is ranking them.
Interesting to think about.

Blog Post Relevance vs Traffic
Hello Moz community, I have a website (lets say that I am selling tshirts), and want to create a blog (www.website.com/blog). With that blog, I would like to post about random topics including travel, leisure, events, new products etc. I want to do this for 1. to get affiliate commissions, 2. to increase web traffic, 3. to potentially increase my domain authority. I would like to know if this blog with random posts would negatively affect my website ranking and keyword ranking (for t-shirts), as it is not relevant to the products that I am selling (and the keywords that I am ranking for). As Google currently understands that my website is a webstore selling t-shirts (and I am ranking for the tshirt keywords), but the algorithm get confused if I start posting about travel and random topics? Your help greatly appreciated in the matter.

How to deal with duplicate content
HI,
SEO Learn Center | | corn2015
A client wants to start selling wordpress sites that are preloaded with products and content. He has over 2.000 products on the site. It's a site we've redone in wordpress that was coldfusion based. Is there any easy automated way to alter the product descriptions without having to edit each one manually? The descriptions will still need to be understandable. How bad can duplicate content hurt you in google? Corn0
