Displaying static content - risky?
-
In an attempt to improve the speed of our site, We have installed Cache_Lite extension for PHP. Its a PEAR based system which converts dynamic pages into static pages.
The system is set to delete the temp files every 15 minutes, at which point any changes / new content will appear on the system.
I don't see any risk of doing this but thought it safe to double check if there could be any impact on Google by doing it?

We use caching and have seen no ill effects. I seriously doubt spidering robots will be hitting your site's pages every 15 minutes.
One thing you might want to look into is the "If Modified Since" header, which could help notify Google that your content has changed

Possible scraper reusing content. Should I be concerned?
I've noticed a few overseas sites seem to be repurposing content from our blog. The process to report for DMCA seems lengthy. Should I be concerned enough to persue this or just write it off as something that happens?

If content is at the bottom of the page but the code is at the top, does Google know that the content is at the bottom?
I'm working on creating content for top category pages for an ecommerce site. I can put them under the left hand navigation bar, and that content would be near the top in the code. I can also put the content at the bottom center, where it would look nicer but be at the bottom of the code. What's the better approach? Thanks for reading!

If two websites pull the same content from the same source in a CMS, does it count as duplicate content?
I have a client who wants to publish the same information about a hotel (summary, bullet list of amenities, roughly 200 words + images) to two different websites that they own. One is their main company website where the goal is booking, the other is a special program where that hotel is featured as an option for booking under this special promotion. Both websites are pulling the same content file from a centralized CMS, but they are different domains. My question is two fold: • To a search engine does this count as duplicate content? • If it does, is there a way to configure the publishing of this content to avoid SEO penalties (such as a feed of content to the microsite, etc.) or should the content be written uniquely from one site to the next? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
