Duplicate Content:

This term relates to website content and it’s value for a high ranking in the search engines. Duplicate Content means that the exact article , report or text can be found also on other websites . If search engine spiders detect websites with Duplicate Content, only the site which was indexed first will be considered as the source and get the credit for it as original content. All others will be discounted.

It doesn’t necessarily mean your website will get banned or penalized right away if you include one article on your site which is published somewhere else already. After all most webmasters create their site for their visitors - not only for the search engines - and want to provide valuable content for them. This is taken into consideration by the search engine algorithms. However, this might not hold true anymore if a site exclusively or in it’s majority consists of Duplicate Content.

Therefore if you consider joining a membership site providing PLR articles as a content resource for it’s members, or acquire PLR articles from other sources, be alert to the fact that the articles might be published by several other members, too. It’s advisable to edit them before putting them on your site. Using PLR-articles together with a Content Generator Software might be detected by the search engines and get your site banned. See under Content Generator for more information.

[Duplicate goes back to Latin duplicare, duplicatus= to make double; du(o) = two;
