I have a web with 90 vídeos hosted in my Youtube channel and each video have an description in single url, but Youtube videos have no description.
If I copy description from my web and paste to Youtube description, this is duplicate content for Google ?

I agree with Stelios and am very pleased to see that Christy endorsed his answer. Please don't do this!
We have a few dozen youtube videos that demonstrate how some of our products are used. We write a big article on our own site about each of these products with the video embeded. On youtube we post a very short - no duplication description.
Now when you search for these products on Google, our "demonstration" article ranks at the top of the SERPs... and our youtube video is lower on the page. I am betting if we duplicated our own content on youtube that the article on our website would not rank in the SERPs because the page on our site and the page on youtube would have identical content.

Hi Alberto,
Yes that will cause you duplicate content issues.
I'm working with a client at the moment that has a similar situation. I've advised them to have a YouTube description that gives an overview of the video content and contains some relevant keywords.
On your website you can embed your video on individual pages, add a brief summary and transcribe the video on the page. You could duplicate your YouTube description on this page, provided your transcription is lengthy enough so it's still unique content. I like to work on a ratio of 30% duplicate to 70% unique if it's necessary.
Transcribing 90 videos could be time consuming though, so check out these tools that can do it for you: http://www.vagueware.com/top-10-free-transcription-software-that-are-essential-to-your-va-or-transcription-business/
All the best,

Content - Similar but not exactly the same content - Duplicate or Spammy?
Hey, so I have been wondering for some time now as some pages will get indexed and others won't appear at all. That makes me think that I am either creating to similar content or it is becoming too spammy. Take these two pages I created for example. The body content is very similar but h tags, meta tags and title are different. So my questions is; would pages not be displaying due possibly being too similar and spammy or duplicate? I have linked two pages that are very similar below and would love to hear any thoughts about it. https://www.dlmremovals.com.au/queensland/interstate/removalists/gold-coast-to-ballarat-removalist-backloads-and-moving-service.html https://www.dlmremovals.com.au/queensland/interstate/removalists/gold-coast-to-bendigo-removalist-backloads-and-moving-service.html Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to over create/post content?
My company has signed up with a vendor to help write content. They are going to be supplying 50 articles per month so we'd basically be adding 2 or more articles per day. Is that too much or is that okay as long as it's quality content?

Duplicate Content on WordPress Blogs?
We are getting ready to add a WordPress blog to our established website. Our plans are to place it in a subfolder on our website to maximize rank. My question is...Do we need to utilize a Meta Robots WordPress plugin by Yoast or similar so that noindex,follow robots meta tags will prevent search engine indexing of search result pages, subpages and category archives? We want to avoid the dreaded Duplicate Content Error and penalty. Any other great SEO WordPress plugins? Thank you for your time. Brian

Duplicate content via syndication?
I have a full text RSS feed of my blog available for users with RSS readers. A few sites have said they would like to republish the unedited feed on their site (so my blog postings show up on their sites with links back to my site embedded). I'm wondering if this is a good/bad idea (to let them republish my postings) and/or if I should do anything in the feed to protect myself from an SEO point of view? Am I at risk of some kind of duplicate content penalty from Google, or will Google figure out that I'm the original source (which would be good) since the blog postings have links back to my site? Thanks!
