Such filtering is referred to as "duplicate content penalty". It is important to understand and identify what "duplicate content" actually is. Duplicate content is generally defined as substantive blocks of text that are copied from one site to another. Some webmasters try to use duplicated content in an attempt to manipulate and influence search engine rankings. The search community still occasionally debates the legitimacy and existence of duplicate content filters, but whether they exist today, or will exist tomorrow, is really irrelevant. Most webmasters have simply accepted the fact that the duplicate content penalty is currently enforced by at least some of the major search engines. With that in mind, how does the search engine determine which version of the content is the original, and which is duplicated? It is difficult for the search engine to tell which website is responsible for the original version of any content, and some innocent websites might find themselves penalized or banned for including duplicated content.

When writing a unique article of good quality, is it good to submit that single article to only one directory? Or should I submit it to several, was it ok to submit it only to ezinearticles.com or can I also use goarticles.com and ultimatearticledirectory.com because these are some of the best directories. What is the best thing to do? These are some of the answers I got. Submitting to the top three to five directories is the best move, also look for sites that are relevant to your business and ask them if they would be interested in publishing your articles. This is far better than submitting to a big set that is not relevant to your business. This system has brought me great results. I believe the best plan is to rewrite three articles and submit each to a different directory this will equal nine articles directories in total.

So exactly what constitutes duplicate content and is it a problem? It is widely accepted that duplicate content is important and, although one high profile search engine optimization expert recently expressed the opposite view, even a cursory peek at the mountain of material that has been written on this topic recently will clearly demonstrate that this is a minority view. If we accept that duplicate content is in fact important, then just how ought we to go about defining duplicate content? If I write an original article for an article directory and then re-work that same article for submission to a second article directory how will the search engines check these two articles and decide whether they contain duplicate content? The fact of the matter is that we do not know, however, here is this writer's view.

I like to break up a clients website into specific and important pages based on the keyword terms we have identified through research and then write the first few pages to suit those terms. We associate page titles, page file names (buy-blue-widgets.html), H1 tags, description and keyword Meta tags and in page content to tell the story that match those identified keywords. It is also important to ensure your pages are W3 compliant and have no errors. I have compiled a list of some of some common Search Engine Optimization (SEO) mistakes. 1. Bad Titles. Titles are the most important thing about a webpage. Search engines spiders see the title on your page first and they make a general assessment about it based upon this. They scan the page and make sure the content of the page matches the title and then assign rankings based upon these matches and how they best fit.

Some people think it's a myth while others strongly believe that search engines are out to hunt down these so-called posers and give them the worst punishment possible. Regardless of their accurate definition, duplicate content penalties do occur. The bottom line is that search engines aren't big fans of duplicate content at all, so why even have it on your website? The last thing any search engine would want is to give its users an unsatisfying search experience. They are doing everything in their power to provide optimum search results. By constantly improving their algorithms and filtering duplicate content, they are presenting their users with the most relevant and unique listings for search results. This is the main reason you use search engines in the first place. For them to work to your advantage as a website owner or blogger, you will need high-quality content that is both unique and informative. This way, search engine results related to your niche pull up your page as a primary valid listing. How do search engines deal with duplicate content exactly, you ask?

Students have almost unlimited access to many online resources that they could easily print and claim as their own. Marketing campaigns that use duplicate content articles to optimize search engine results. Even blog authors may or may not be aware that some of their posts are actually duplicate content. Some people brush it off like it's not even a big deal -- until they get caught, that is. The Problem with Duplicate Content There's no doubt that plagiarism is the easiest way to generate content. But why would you even present unoriginal material to your readers when they could easily find it elsewhere? If you really reflect on it, quick-and-easy content isn't all it's cracked up to be. A website or blog, for example, won't rank as well because the material has already been published. You can't expect search engines, like Google, to simply let it go. In fact, Google expresses a strong opposition toward duplicate content. Google filters out websites with duplicate content by using the Supplemental Index of its database. The GoogleBot crawls websites and looks for similar strings and content among the pages.

Research has proven that the majority of Internet readers are likely to breeze over the content to find the specific information they are searching for and are rarely reading the page from top to bottom. You should structure good titles, a few subtitles, and use bullet points to assist your readers while they scan your page. Many people simply scan a pages subtitles to quickly determine whether they want to continue reading the article or go on to another page. Surfers prefer a site laid out like this so that it's easier to use, therefore encouraging them to return to your site regularly in search of more content. The more often your readers come back, the more chances you will have for them to access other affiliate links, adsense ads and pay per lead advertisements. It is very important to create your articles in a structured manor, or have articles written this way, so your site visitors will not leave your page screaming in pain!

Penalizing a website is tantamount to making the website an online outcast; something that exists, but cannot be communicated with, for the simple reason that it will probably never show up again on the search results. Search engines make sure that websites do pay harshly for using illicit means to rank higher on their results. And one of the most unpardonable crimes is plagiarism. Everyone who has had even a single day's encounter with content development knows what plagiarism means. But, what needs to be remembered is that plagiarism is not only copying and pasting content verbatim from another site. Even retaining bits of that content in an otherwise original article is plagiarism. Today there is some speculation that plagiarism only means copying a 'substantive block of data' according to Google's definition of plagiarism, but it is still a risk factor. Let me put it this way, copy is copy. It doesn't matter if one sentence is copied or the whole article. Search engines will still try to skip duplicate content to be faster and more efficient in their jobs.

We're all pressed for time these days and it's easy to discount the importance of things like providing unique content, using good spelling and grammar and avoiding black hat SEO tactics. But the fact that your time is so precious should make it all the more important to you to use that time wisely by producing articles that are more likely to be published around the Web. To do that, you'll want to avoid these six common mistakes. In your rush to get as many articles as possible out there in the world, you may be tempted to resort to using a PLR (private label rights) article or other regurgitated material, slap an about the author box on it and send it on its way. This is a big mistake. Publishers want unique, compelling articles, filled with information their readers can't find in thousands of other places. Reputable article distribution services such as Article Marketer will not even distribute PLR articles and other duplicate content. Do yourself a favor and write something original.
