Loading ...Every business involved in search engine optimisation should be aware of the importance of high quality content. Relevant and well-written content is vital if a business is going to be successful and be ranked highly by the search engines for their most popular keywords. However, the issue of duplicate content often arises for website owners and for many it is unclear what is classified as duplicate content and how this can affect their SEO results.
Often, when an article is created for your business it can be tempting to have this article feature in as many places as possible in order to try and get the article and your business as much exposure as possible. So, if you write an article for a web page within your website it may also seem appropriate to submit this article to various article directories or to a blog on another website too. While this piece of content will then be viewed as duplicate content once the web crawlers notice the same content in two different areas, they will not actually punish the business for having the same content in two different locations. However, only one of the pages featuring the content will actually be ranked for the content that features on it and so if you want your actual web page to be ranked for this content, it is advisable that the content is featured on this page only.
Where businesses do get into trouble with the use of duplicate content is when the same content is featured more than once within the web pages of a website. If you have an article section and a blog section both within your website it may seem acceptable to have content that is relevant and suitable to the topic in both locations. However, search engines will once again notice this fact and will penalise you accordingly.
Content can take a lot of time, energy and effort to create but is a significant part of search engine optimisation and fresh and unique content will always be advantageous for your business. It is this type of content that the search engines such as Google look for and reward. Google is a search engine that takes duplicate content incredibly seriously and really sets out to punish those businesses that may try to use duplicate content to manipulate the web crawlers and get ahead. Ensuring that your SEO techniques operate within the Google guidelines is necessary if you want to be successful with your SEO campaign because Google is such a major search engine that can drive a substantial amount of traffic to your website.
