		<description>I think it&#039;s quite a good idea that Google is looking after this subject. The reason is many a time its the guys getting hooked off while they have created the content!
It is time Google takes a deeper look into sites that makes a habit of it by getting &#039;non-unique&#039; content from other places and make it their own.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think blog post dates works because as you know popular websites are crawled more and if a less popular websites publishes and their pages id not indexed yet ..then if a popular websites steals contents from that less popular website and  get indexed .Google may think that less popular website steal content and used duplicate content.

It not about the post date i think its about the date when the page was indexed.</description>

		<description>Good effort! I think the most important factor here is the website authority, the rank. Sites like technorati,CNET reviews will obviously not copy content from an ordinary blogs. Therefore Google should be able to distinguish between the original and duplicate one. Anyhow, I think Google should not index blogs with entirely copied content. Really this is discouraging bloggers to write original and quality content. Google should take it into consideration soon. Thats my message to Google.Thanks!</description>

		<description>Great article. However it will become more and more difficult for the Search Engines and other  bots to detect duplicate. The reason is, with article spinner software, one can take any interesting article and just substitute works and paragraphs with synonyms. The two documents, the original and the spun version, are actually the same in substance yet different in the &quot;eyes&quot; of search engines.</description>

		<description>Be wary of those sites cos they sometimes send you trackbacks et pingbacks as well. If you make the mistake of accepting these trackbacks, most of them turn around and remove your content from their blogs creating a one way link from your site to theirs. When Google sees this, it assumes you&#039;re linking to a bad neighborhood and then penalizes you. I&#039;ve been a victim before :-(

		<description>Graywolf published an interesting post about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wolf-howl.com/google/google-treats-trusted-sites-differently-duplicate-content/&quot;&gt;How Google Treats Duplicate Content on Trusted Sites Differently&lt;/a&gt; back in 2008.  I suspect it is still relevant today. 

Google&#039;s official position on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=66359&quot;&gt;Duplicate Content Penalties&lt;/a&gt; and the Webmaster Central Blog&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/09/demystifying-duplicate-content-penalty.html&quot;&gt;Duplicate Content Penalty&lt;/a&gt; Myth post may shed more light on the controversy. 

Jill Whalen said there is &lt;a href=&quot;http://searchengineland.com/the-duplicate-content-penalty-myth-10741&quot;&gt;no duplicate content penalty&lt;/a&gt; but that is a rather old (2007) post. 

It is easy to see there are a ton of duplicate sites indexed. Just search for a unique title or excerpt. You can see it with spam blog comments. Searches can turn up hundreds to thousands of identical comments still in the index. 

The question is: how long do they stay there before they are filtered out?

		<description>If your blog is set to ping when an article is posted then Google should have an accurate time frame to work with in determining an original.  I also have the Google XML Sitemaps plugin that notifies Google, Bing and Ask.com when it is updated after content changes (it can notify Yahoo too if you have a Yahoo ID).

I guess there is a difference between duplicate content that you&#039;ve produced by syndicating your articles and that which is blatant plagiarism or scraping.  It would be nice if Google could distinguish between the two and punish the scrapers.

On that note, how do you find out if someone is scraping your articles?  Is there any software that can make this easier?

		<description>Someone just stole one of my articles, substituting my author bio with their own links. 

It&#039;s not fun when that happens, and not much you can do about it when they just post it all over juicer blogs probably not worth the effort to try stopping them.

The thing I hate most about it is they create a lot of duplicate content that my own articles have to compete with, it probably devalues my articles to some degree.

		<description>@Duncan,

Nope...it doesn&#039;t ding anything.  In fact, I have actually created small mini-nets from duplicate content with absolutely no penalty at all and it has actually been more beneficial than not.

Folks have duplicate content all wrong.  If you really want to learn how to benefit from duplicate or syndicated content, then you have to test.  This is especially for much debated topics such as this one where opinions about whether it is good or not range so wildly.

Personally, I think that most just take something and run with based on &quot;he said, she said&quot; information...a lot of time this is to the blogger or marketer&#039;s detriment.
