EzineArticles.com - Using Duplicate Content Without Getting Penalized By Google

Hi guys. The important thing is figuring out what your goal is.

If your goal is backlinks then don't worry about duplicate content. When people talk about getting penalized for duplicate content, all this means is that google will only show the article once in its SERPs. So if it's on multiple sites, you get the juice from the backlinks, but your hurt your ability to drive traffic from the articles since only one is shown in SERPs.

If your goal is getting each article to appear in SERPs, then you must submit unique articles to each site. Do not use the article generation software to do this.

What we do is this: We write two versions of an article. One to post on our site. One to put out for syndication. Not a lot of extra time. And we want OUR site to get SERPs. And we want the backlink value from article sites.

Yeah to me in my opinion article software is useless.

Google never penalize duplicate content, dude!

Ezine Articles has over 1,500,000 Yahoo backlinks alone! Thousands of people visit there every day.

Duplicate content is only duplicate when it is on the same website.

First of all you have to define duplicate contents.

1) People duplicating your contents with a link source is ok

2) People duplicating your contents for promoting their own sites or their own products are spam.

3) People duplicating sentences taken from your site to be under the radar is spam

4) People duplicating sentences taken from your site and copied on their hundreds sites are spam

5) People duplicating a specific sentence to multi pages is spam.

6) People duplicating your copyrighted work without a backlink to the source is spam

7) People duplicating sentences from articles and using that as a meta description is spam
