Duplicate Content penalty is a myth, it’s just that most sites built with duplicate content are crappy in other ways…. so they blame the duplicate content.
ya that is why Gizmodo, TechCrunch and all make millions a year, have you ever realized for a fraction of a second that 99% of their stuff is copy paste from other places?
This business is all about getting yourself from the first step to the 2nd one and then you can copy and paste whatever you want.
There is no such thing as duplicate, the whole internet is a duplicate, for example google “how to fix wordpress sidebar” or anything related to wordpress you will have millions of results and first page is all the copy paste stuff, each blog has just copied someone else and to be honest with you I bet that the person who originally wrote the article is nowhere near the first spot.
This is World Wide Web dude, root of net is duplicate content.
everything you search you have more than 1 result why? bcoz they have all the same content but one of them took the time to backlink to their article from few other places and got the number 1 spot.
If you don’t believe this just google some wordpress blogs related to politic just find someone who blogs all the time, copy paste his stuff on your blog and soon you will find you are ranking better than the guy who actually wrote it, if you get a link or 2 pointing to your article..
To those wondering about infringement/copy laws/g00gle slap:
Don’t just copy/paste. Z was conservative in his post and it seems he means just change a few words, but I doubt it. Seems he means change the titles (of course) and also to rewrite the article, sentence by sentence. It does not take very long to say the same thing someone else did in a unique way, and usually by the time you are finished, you know all they said and can elaborate further than the copied article – which makes yours better ^^
Also, since it is a personal blog site, you own it, you have no need to make 500 word posts. In fact, you might even do way better by shooting for 250-350 words, just because it will make your blog read a lot faster (since you will have A LOT of content, the speed will make visitors want to stick around, at least I usually like that and I’m sure there are at least 13,000 me’s out there ^^)
There are a few ways to avoid duplicate content.
1. Use PLR articles REWRITE them and change the titles, it’s work I know.
2. Use a software program that rewrites the articles, I use Power Article Rewriter it’s quick and easy.
3. Use a wordpress plugin called uni*qui*fier it makes the serps see unique content.
4. Get some $2 articles from indians.
5. Use a markov engine to change the artilcles. giberrish usually but shouldn’t matter to serps.
