Duplicate Content Penalty? Let’s Test That Theory Out!
October 9, 2008 10:34 am Internet MarketingOne of the more pervasive pieces of advice floating around internet marketing circles is not to use content more than once. The story goes something like this: You buy an article pack for your site. These articles have appeared on other websites so people say you must rewrite them by at least 30% to avoid winding up in Google’s duplicate content filter. If Google senses that your content is a duplicate of something published elsewhere, the theory is that your website will get dumped in the supplemental listings which are hidden by default and almost never clicked on. Of course this is really bad news for you because you won’t get any traffic. Is this true, however?
I want to see if this duplicate content penalty story is true. I am going to test the assertion out. I will create 10 blogs about weight loss, my favorite subject currently, and I will use my weight loss PLR package and some other PLR I bought from the WF to fill them up with content. I will do some minimal changes like website name, titles, meta tags, order of the posts, little title variations, etc. I will vary the links to the sites and also make sure they appear on different IP addresses. See the section that talks about hosting for a discussion of why I am doing this.
As soon as I set this all up, I will be posting the urls for everybody to take a look. We’ll see if the websites get Google love, traffic, revenue.
