What exactly is Duplicate Content ?
-
Hello,
I want to learn How Google takes those website, which are purely based on Lyrics or Poems? Because, you really can't alter the lyrics of song websites or poems?
Same song lyrics does appear on many websites, so will Google will call this as "cut and paste" content?
-
You are correct. This is essentially "duplicate content". I would have to assume that Google would then rank these types of pages on metrics other than content (inbound links, social shares, other SEO metrics... and probably breadth of a content library). But who really knows?
You could just start comparing those types of sites to and get a good idea how Google is ranking them.
Interesting to think about.
Mike

Websites copying my content and spamming it on 15+ different domains- WHY?? More pop up as I try to take each one down- what do they gain from this?
I own http://TheCareerProject.org and in the last 3 months over 15 sites have popped up copying my content and Google is scanning it as my own. Why would a site do this? Is it a hacker campaign to take away rankings? What benefits do they get from this. EXAMPLE1 : http://germanbollati.com/heat-victor-hugo-juarez-puebla/, EXAMPLE 2: http://rsa-dev1.com/unbalanced-underwriting-outsourcing-india/ There are 15 more I have submitted to Google Webmaster to evaluate and I contact the site owners and majority do not respond. Why are they doing this and what can I do? Thank you - Alicia- [email protected]
