Default Duplicate content is harmful for search engine

‘Content is King.’ This is not only a popular phrase but very true indeed. Content is the integral part of every website. It helps in providing relevant information about the company, its services, and vision & objectives. For online businesses having an aim to spread their operations globally, a well-written web page with a proper selection of keywords is mandatory. However, the fear of duplicate content may destroy your dreams of attaining top pages ranking in search engines.

It is difficult to define if your content is fresh and not copied from anywhere. You never know if a competitor of yours is copying your content and reducing your credibility in the virtual world.

Duplicate content has several negative consequences. Google can penalize your website and thus, your search engine rankings will be affected. A downgrade in ranking leads to supplementary results in which Google may choose to show your competitor in its SERP.

Yes, duplicate content is no good if you are trying to rank in the SEs. However, that does not mean you cannot reuse your own work - simply change the title and some of the content around and you have a new article. How much do you need to change? Enough so that it still reads well but does not contain the same sentence structures. This usually means around 15-20% of the article needs to be changed. Once you've reworked your article, then you can submit it to some article directories and get a little more from your hard earned work.

if there are duplicated contents... Before Google will implement penalty, google will look first the site age. In that way,search engine can tell who posted first...

Is that so Jen? I never knew this. Thanks for the information.

But I have few questions.
Are there any difference between duplicating the whole article and duplicating the only part of an article? Do they have the same penalty?

of course there are difference... duplicating a small part of the content is not that duplicated...but why not change all since large part of the article was changed?

I suggest that you never submit duplicate content. Play around with a few words and I'm sure your articles will be fine. Google considers duplicate content as spam.
