Post subject: Recycling the content on article pages - permited or not?
|
 |
|
Hi everybody!
I am working on my first Martell's style site, already done several product pages.
My question is, do you recycle you own content on article pages, or would Google count it as dublicated content? Some of my key phrases for article pages are very similar, so the articles can be similar as well. I am not talking about reproducing the same copy with different key words, of course, but recycling a paragraph or two when it fit the topic. Is it permited?
My understanding is, that when a person lands on an article page and continues to read product pages (if I am lucky  ) she is unlikely to come across any more article pages, only product pages. So I don't see any harm in reusing the content a bit.
What do you think?

You don't have to change much on a page, from my experience, to avoid problems with duplication filters.
You should not have any problems here.
Cheers,
Charlie.

Hi Tanya,
Your visitors will not notice that duplicate content exists on other article pages. Search engines could notice. Take www.radiomuseum.org. They are complaining in SEO forums that their site never makes it from PR5 into a PR6 at Google despite a lot of articles and backlinks. Now it turns out that most of their 70000(!) articles are 94% alike, since most pages show pictures of radio models with only a small description.
So, it looks like Google won't punish you much, but it will be difficult to move up in the rankings when featuring considerable duplicate content in the articles.
Best of luck with your site!

Hi guys,
thanks, even though answers are contradictory 
I suppose, I will try to write unique content for now and when run out of ideas we will see what happens

Could it also be possible that most of those backlinks have little or no PR to share? |
