I need to add duplicate content, how to do this without penalty

[oznappies]

On a site I am working on we provide a landing page summary (say top 10 information snippets) and provide a link 'see more' to take viewers to a page with all the snippets.

Now those first 10 snippets will be repeated in the full list.

Is this going to be a duplicate content problem? If so, any suggestions.

Thanks all, I hoped it would be fine and I will proceed with your advice.

Hey, this will be fine. If you consider how a blog works, even the blog here, it shows a sample of the content and a read more link. This is fairly standard and is not true duplicate content where you have something from one page (or site) repeated unnecessarily on another.

Hope it helps.

As per your Q i believe u r showing those first 10 snippets in 2 different pages within your site. If that's the case it can never be issue of duplicate content.

In any blog we show 4 or 5 lines summary at main page & remaining on another page when we click on "more option" so main page will also have summary. So go ahead and do it.

In My website we show summary of 1 article in 10 different related community to get better rankings, but till date we have never faced any penalty.

But if u r taking snippets from other site, then u can add Canonical tag to your page pointing to site from where u have copied content. In that case google know that u have copied content from another site.

In my experience, if there is enough unique content surrounding the duplicate content, the page is not treated as duplicate content. For example, I have seen a blog post that was republished from another site (with permission) with a short unique introduction paragraph that received thousands of visitors.

If you were paranoid about it, you could always put the duplicate content in an iFrame. Search engine spiders are not supposed to crawl content in an iFrame as it is not considered part of the page.
