Are Duplicate Bio's Duplicate Content?
-
I'm wondering if I need to go through all the various bio's our firm has on all the various legal directory and client review sites to make sure they have unique bio's? I really, really don't want to do that, but if they are going to flagged as duplicate content, I will. I'm hoping sites like "findlaw," "avvo," etc, have some built in rel:cannonical or something that says these bio's aren't to be seen as unique content and therefore conflict with what's on our site. Anybody know?
Just to clarify, any of the sties that have asked for unique content/bio/about us, I have complied with that. However, a lot don't specifically state it has to be unique, so I've just copy and pasted from our site in those cases.
Thanks,
Ruben

Yeah, it was a little paranoid, but I had to make sure. Thanks everyone! I appreciate it.

Wow. We all agree. If you are truly paranoid and want to rest easy, you could write a few different versions. If your firm has about 50 partners, that could be tedious and not the best use of your time. But I would say you're 99.9999% okay for now.

As long as you don't have a novel in your bio that have been copied/pasted throughout, I wouldn't worry about it too much. As Prestashop said, the unique content within each site will most likely cause the crawlers to consider each one unique. However, if its more a resume rather than a bio, I'd play it safe and reword it for each.

I personally would not worry about it. The content on the other sites will dilute the bio content enough that everything should be fine. Plus with a bio you want consistency.

Modifying Content to Avoid Duplicate Content Issues
We are planning to leverage specific posts from a US-based blog for our own Canadian blog (with permission, of course) but are aware that this can cause duplicate content issues. We're willing to re-write as much or as little as we must from the initial blog posts to avoid duplicate content issues but I have no idea just how much we will need to re-write. Is there some guideline for this (e.g., 25% of content must be re-written)? I've been unable to find anything. Thank you in advance!

Is it considered as duplicate content ?
Hello, I see a lot of errors on my webmaster tools because of this ajax code on my questions pages of the site (screen) : www.dismoicomment.fr The code : | / ADD ANSWER FORM |

Duplicat Website Content? (UK, Ireland)
Hi, My website is based in Ireland on a .ie domain & now I would like to enter the UK market on a .co.uk Is it ok for me to duplicate my .ie website and provide all the information on a .co.uk OR is this considered duplicate content in terms of Google. (I'm led to believe that your own content on my domain's is not considered duplicate & this is only considered duplicate content when you go from .com to .ie, .co.uk etc). (all content, images, branding are my own).
