Having trouble seeing your video…just says sorry, creator of this video has not given permission to embed it on this domain.
Any suggestions. Would like to see it!
I would love to watch this video, as it may be the answer the ongoing debate about duplicate content.
Unfortunately, it will not play.
Nice video. I like the idea of adding a unique intro to an embedded video. I hadn’t thought of that before.
Google says don’t duplicate content on your website or across your domains. They have never claimed to be able to detect duplicate content across the entire Internet. Of course they wouldn’t say they can’t do that because it’s better if everyone believes they can.
I’m a pretty tech savvy person and I understand how computers work. I’ve also dabbled in programming, so here’s my opinion for what it’s worth:
In order to detect duplicate content across the Internet, Google would have to constantly compare every page on the Internet with every other page over and over. That’s billions of pages and growing.
Even if it was possible to design spiders that are capable of doing that at a reasonable pace (I don’t believe it is), the server resources required would be astronomical.
A job like that would tax a super computer. I daresay it would turn Google’s puny servers into smoking piles of melted plastic.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Great post! I personaly had some duplicate content problems and SE penalised my websites. I know how frustating can be writing your own content for blog. So i decided to let others write it for me:)

Thank You Andrew for this great piece of information. I was always wondering what the deal was with Dupe content and how you can use it without getting in trouble. I agree that starting a blog with duplicate content is not such a good idea and you should use original unique to get it going, then add some later when your blog is a little more established. One question i do have is when you are using someone elses, lets say, article that was well written, what do you do if at the end of the article they have a link that leads to their affiliate product? Is it then not a good idea to replace that link with yours?…
Thanks,

i have a wordpress blog that i built with noting but old ezinearticles, it gets great traffic and alot of the posts out rank the old EZA article!
I have to say that was very informative video. It does make sense by using a sensible amount of others content and not the core. I wish you had two types of firepow with one that more affordable than the one you have now. Thanks for providing good information.
This helps confirm a few things I was thinking about unique content, and what the right ratio is to use unique and duplicate content.
Thanks for the enlightening video. To avoid the problems of writing my own unique articles and to be able to use articles written by others, I use services that post unique spun articles to my sites. I also have article spinning software that posts to outside sites, with each article being unique to the others that get posted. I provide the initial article, usually plr, and the software provides the variations which i get to choose, and then submits a different article to each site it posts to.
Have a great day.

I have never worried about this so called duplicate content penalty, a site that i own is only duplicate content and ranks 1 on Google and has done for at least a year.
In theory once a page is indexed could’nt a quick comparison search be done, kind of like a copyscape search??? The numbers would be staggering but i would think it would be possible. Might burn you over the long term once Google catches it.
I guess it would also depend on how many time the same article was used??
Great and informative video Andrew. I often wondered about using PLR although I had to spend time rewriting the articles.
Thanks for the insight. You are perfectly right.
If you are taking duplicate content and subjecting it to your own on-page/off-page SEO, changing the title, adding a few paragraphs, etc, I guess you could say it ceases to be duplicate content as viewed by Google because its structure or context has been changed.
Hey Andrew,
This is a great video. I’m really excited about where my blog is going. I’ve got lots of ideas for my own unique content, but I’ve also read and seen lots of great content elsewhere that I’d love to have available to my readers. Your ideas on adding an into and changing the title are really awesome.
I look forward to some rapid growth on my site.
Thanks
