Is duplicate content really penalised by Google?

Thank you Advance ..

Yes, its true.

Hello ..Google does, in fact, look for this kind of duplicate content and if the duplication happens often enough, they will penalize the PR of your page ......

Actually this is not true. Matt Cutts has said many times in his videos and on his blog that is Google notices duplicate content then they will simply not count that content in the search engine, I owuld not count that as penalizing a site, I doubt there are ANY of us who have EVERY single page indexed in Google anyway.

Yes google penalize it. But it depends where you share it. If you share it on social site. It will not effect your post.

 

[NukeBlaster]

Yes definitely penalized.

Yes, Panda 4.0 is totally based on quality content it panalised those who have duplicate content and keyword stuff in webpage.

 

[seran]

Matt Cutts has said via video that rankings will not be effected or penalised because of duplicate content, BUT google does do their best to only rank 1 well, If you are putting your content elsewhere the change of it getting ranked better then you gets more and more likely the more you publish it.

Google recently released their updates about content of a website and duplicate content is considered a Black Hat method to promote your website. It does not follow Google webmaster guidelines and hence your website can be penalized for such activities.

Yes, Not only duplicate but thin content is also penalized by Google. Use of Duplicate content is consider in black hat technique and Google always stand against such a activity that harm the searches and not provide what exactly searcher want.

I think so, in fact that is the essence of their Panda updates, to penalize duplicate contents. I have joined forums running adsense ads to their sites warning us not to post duplicate contents , otherwise they will expel you from their forums.

Copying a content or posting duplicate content is like a crime in the eyes of Google and it should be paid so Google penalised that
