What is Duplicate Content

• There is duplicate material on the website when
  the same content appears in multiple places. When
  the same content appears at more than one site
  address, thats considered duplicate content. The
  terms one place and one URL are used
  interchangeably.
• The existence of duplicate content does not
  always result in a penalty, but it can still hurt
  search engine rankings occasionally. It can be
  challenging for search engines to determine which
  version of a piece of content is most relevant to
  a given search query when multiple sources of the
  same piece of content exist.

How Bad is Duplicate Content for SEO

• Duplicate content is not penalized by Google. The
  browser does, however, block content that is the
  same, which has the same consequences as a
  penalty your web pages will lose their rankings.
• Its confusing for Google to display the same
  content on identical pages, so it must decide
  which one to display. Whether the content was
  produced by a third party or by an individual, it
  is likely that the original version will not
  appear in top search results.
• Another reason duplicate content harms SEO is
  that it can confuse search engines.

Internal duplication of content
Elements on the Page

• Your website should have each of the following to
  avoid duplicate content issues
• Page titles and meta descriptions should be
  unique in the HTML code
• Your headings dont follow the format of H1, H2,
  H3, and so on.
• Only a handful of words make up a pages title,
  meta description, and headings. Nevertheless, you
  should keep your website away from the grey area
  of duplication as much as possible. Moreover, you
  can create a meta description that will be seen
  as valuable by search engines.
• Because you have too many pages, you will not be
  able to write a unique meta description for each
  page. In nearly all cases, Google uses the meta
  description that appears in your content.
  However, it is still better to write a custom
  meta description if you can, as it is a critical
  element in driving click-throughs.

Descriptions of products

• It can be difficult for eCommerce sites to create
  unique product descriptions for each item on
  their website, since they must create
  descriptions that are unique to each product.
• You must, however, differentiate your product
  page for filter coffee from the other websites
  offering that product in order to rank for
  filter coffee from coorg..
• Provide a unique description for each website
  that sells your product, including websites and
  resellers selling your product.
• See our article on how to write a great product
  description page if you want your product
  description page to stand out from the rest.
• The size and color of products should not be
  displayed separately. Put multiple product
  variations on a single page by implementing web
  design elements.

The Trailing Slash, the WWW, and HTTP

• Internal duplicate content can often be found in
  URLs which include
• Without www (http//XYZ.com) and with www
  (http//www.XYZ.com)
• http (http//www.example.com) and https
  (https//www.example.com)
• a trailing slash at the end of a URL
  (http//www.example.com/) and without a trailing
  slash (http//www.example.com)
• An easy way to test your landing pages is to take
  the most valuable text on the page, but the text
  in quotes, and then Google it. The exact text
  will then be searched for on Google. The first
  step to determining why there appears to be more
  than one search result page is to investigate the
  possibility of the things listed above.
• There is no way to resolve conflicting versions
  of a website except by implementing a 301 change
  that directs users from the unpreferred version
  to the preferred one in the case where www vs.
  non-www or trailing slashes vs. non-trailing
  slashes appear on it.
• Using the trailing slash or www in your URLs has
  no significant SEO benefit. You can choose
  whether to use them or not.

Issues with Externally Duplicated Content

• The chances of your valuable content being
  republished on another website are good if your
  website has significant amounts of valuable
  content. Unfortunately, you wont be able to take
  advantage of this. Duplicate content can be found
  in a number of ways

Using Scraped Content

• In the form of scraped content, a website owner
  tries to increase their organic site visibility
  by stealing content from another site. In
  addition, webmasters have the option of
  automating the stolen content they collect.
• As scrapers sometimes do not bother to replace
  branded terms within the content, it can
  sometimes be easy to recognize scraped content.
• This penalty works as follows Google staff
  examines websites to find out whether or not they
  comply with Googles Webmaster Quality
  Guidelines. Google can either lower your ranking
  on its search engine or remove you from its
  search results if you have been flagged for
  manipulating its search index.
• In the event that scraped content is being used
  on your site, Google should be notified by
  reporting the webspam using the Copyright and
  other legal issues section.

Published content

• When the content on your blog is published
  elsewhere, it is commonly called content
  syndication.. The content you voluntarily share
  with another site isnt scraped.
• It may seem absurd, but syndicating your content
  has its benefits. You can increase traffic to
  your website by making your content more visible.
  Essentially, you exchange your content and
  perhaps search engine ranking in exchange for
  backlinks.

  universally applicable to duplicate content.
  However, there are some solutions to some of the
  most common issues

Does duplicate Content get Penalized?

• I understand that duplicate content carries a
  penalty. Generally speaking, regular sites are
  not affected by it, except in rare cases. The
  human reviewers of Google may flag a page if it
  contains copied or scraped content. In the event
  that the reviewer finds that the content is
  duplicate content with the intent of manipulating
  search engine results, Google will impose a
  penalty, potentially causing the site to be
  ranked lower or dropped completely from the
  search engine results. It is imperative that you
  do not steal content. Produce great content of
  interest to your readers instead.

  what it means from Google to have duplicate
  content on your website.

  /guidelines/duplicate-content
• I will take an excerpt from the above link and
  put it into simple non-technical language.
• Regardless of whether you have a robots.txt file
  or another method to block crawlers from reaching
  duplicate content on your site, Google does not
  recommend blocking crawlers. the content.

• In the absence of the ability to crawl duplicate
  content pages, the search engines are unable to
  detect duplicate content pages, so they will
  treat them as an individual, distinct pages.
  Search engines should be allowed to crawl these
  URLs, but mark them as duplicates with
  relcanonical links, 301 redirects or a URL
  parameter handler. Whenever duplicate content
  causes us to crawl your website too frequently,
  you can set the crawl rate in Search Console.
• The existence of duplicate content on a site does
  not warrant action unless there is evidence that
  the content exists in order to deceive and
  manipulate search engines. As long as you follow
  these guidelines, if your site has duplicate
  content issues, we will display the most relevant
