Do You Worry About The Google Duplicate Content Slap.
Through my personal experience, I have found no reason to believe it exists. Think about it, what is Auto Blogging, it is tying into rss feeds and using content from other blogs. You obviously give the author the credit for his article, but you are basically building your blog using Duplicate Content. If it didn’t work, why would so many people be doing it.
Article Marketing, what is it’s main purpose? You articles from the article site can get ranked in google, thus giving you exposure and you do get the one back link from the article site these are both good things. However aren’t you hoping that other sites will pick up these articles to put on their site so you get more exposure.
Here is what I learned through my personal experience with Duplicate Content. I entered a very small niche which I am pretty well versed on and after doing my research and checking out the competition, I felt that I could dominate this niche. It took about 6 months to almost completely take over the front page of google. I had seven out of the 10 positions on the front page for my main keyword phrase. I went back and did a little more seo work and added a few more articles to my article section. When I went back to google about a week later I seen all ten positions were my work. I was ecstatic thinking I owned the whole front page for my main keyword phrase.Then when I looked a little closer, I found out that yes the work was mine but three of the articles had a different website name.
My first thought was even though it was coming from a different website at least I was getting the credit for it and my website was showing up. So I followed the link, which all three of them were the same site, when I got to the site I found my articles. The three that they had ranked plus 13 more of my articles which they took complete credit for. So not only did they rank for Duplicate Content they plagiarized 16 of my articles word for word. Needless to say I went after them, but that is a whole other story. But for the reasons I have listed, I don’t know that worrying about Duplicate Content is worth anymore than the energy it takes to type it.
