Duplicate Content - Don’t Worry Be Happy
July 21, 2008
There has been so much written over the years about duplicate content penalties from Google. I always view these kinds of things with a healthy dose of skepticism. I’m one of those kinds of persons we says “seeing is believing.” If I can not verify personally through trial and error then I remain skeptical about certain SEO beliefs or theories.
I know page titles are important not only because I have read this hundreds of times over, but I have proven the validity through real world application. Lately, I have given a lot of consideration to the effects of website scraping and its effects on scrapped websites. So when in doubt I have found if you have a questions about Google, its best to go to Google.
So I visited the webmaster central blog looking for answers and indeed I found my answer. It was “don’t worry, be happy.” their words not mine. It seems that duplicate content isn’t the big problem that it is made out to be. If you would like to read the article at Webmaster Central you might find it an eye opener.
Don’t worry be happy!

Got something to say?
Thanks mike I was also too much confuse with this. I found that many people are submitting their articles in hundreds of articles sites, blogs etc and not penalize by google though google will not penalize you for this but may not give much importance or any juice for this act. Hope you are right that google is not penalizing us. Thanks I like this post and stumbling it here http://lindsayhogan.stumbleupon.com/ so that my whole SEO Group at stumbleupon can share this post.
