Duplicate Content
-
I have a TLD .com and 3 microsites in different regions with the specific ccTLDs. The structure is the same and most of the content is the same. Does Google regard this as duplicate content?
-
Thanks for your response! Much appreciated
-
Yes, Google does have issue selecting the best version of pages from all of these three domain pages. My advice you should re-write the copied !
-
As a general rule , if the content is the same then it most likely is duplicate. Might be worth plugging the site url in to copyscape to see how similar they are.
Also You usually get a warning in GWT if Google sees your content as duplicate .

With Hubpages in the penalty box right now, I am looking for other inbound marketing channels to syndicate original content to relevant audiences. I am currently using SlideShare, but I am looking for other channels. Will you share 10-20 of your recommended content publishing channels that syndicate SEO content?

Effect of changes on the Content page on search ranking
Hi, I have a question related to my ranking on Google Search On the content pages of my website, there is a section where our content keeps on changing. Whenever a visitor enters new information, Old information will be removed from the page. Therefore our content page is dynamic. Does this make us difficult to rank for particular keyword / overall.

Same Content or New Content?
Hi Everyone, Hope everyone is doing good. Well, thanks to the input of many people (experts) on this site I have almost arrived at where I want to be, even better than that....I am almost there with confidence because of all the input received from this site. So what have I done? I have redesigned a static website to WordPress, I decided t keep the old link structure which is suffixed .html, and to use redirects if needed. I also swithed hosting service providers to noe that carries htaccess. My last question, well probably not, is do I use the same content from the same pages on the old website to the new, or do i create new content, It is a local service business, new content would not be a problem, however, our current content seems to be ranking well with the old site though. In summary, should I change the content of the new site so "Duplicate Content" does not arise? Should I leave transdfer the content to the new site to maintain on page SEO that has been ranking me good thus far? As Always, any and all input is really appreciated! -jimmy

Clients Slow to Publish Content
Hey Mozzers, Recently i have been working with some larger corporations and i have quickly found that publish new content is a nightmare. Whether re-writing current content to be more targeted or getting brand new content published on their blog it goes through an insane approval process something like this: Approval from Marketing Manager (main point of contact) Revisions Approval from Legal/Quality Control Revisions Approval from someone on the C team (CEO or CMO) Revisions Depending on content, translation for other language sites Then go live With this crazy process i have barely gotten 5-10 pages of content approved and live since the launch of the project. Now I am getting the questions of why we aren't seeing any results. The quickest and most direct answer is - we aren't publishing any new content! But you can't always blame the client. Does anyone have any suggestions, approaches, or strategies to help slow moving clients speed up? Perhaps other techniques to show your value other than publishing new/targeted content? Cheers - Kyle

Are duplicate images a sign of low quality?
I look after a lot of small businesses that can not afford to get cutom made images for their sites, this made me think, If i was a search engine and saw a site with duplicate images, would i think that this site is of low quality? It is my guess that they would.

Is your content above the fold
Google released an update today that will rank pages with plenty of content above the fold higher than those that don’t.
Industry News | | AlanMosley
If you have a lot of ads above the fold then don’t expect to rank.
I see many CMS sites with very large banners across the top and content pushed down low on the page, will these pages also be hurt by the update?
The update is crawling now, you might want to check your SERP’s and see if there is much movement going on.
