Why does Google care about duplicate content? Search engines and particularly Google generate revenue primarily through paid advertising. Since web searchers are free to use any of the major and minor search engines on the web each one is trying to provide users with the best possible experience in order to increase its popularity and revenue though paid advertising. When users are presented in the search results’ page with links leading to almost identical content users they're understandably annoyed.

When content is original, it is different from any other combinations of letters, symbols and words that can be found online.

Snippets: Snippets are usually small chunks of content like quotes that are copied and re-used. This usually does not cause any problems with the search engines. **End Summary** Topics: indexing]]> seo]]> duplicate content]]> penalty]]> rankings]]> google]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Professional SEO Services from Steve Anastasiadis.
