How To
What you need to know about duplicate content and SEO
Both webmasters as well as search engines have to worry about duplicate content. There are two types. External and internal duplicates. If multiple pages in a site have identical content, an internal duplicate is created. External duplicates happen when a page contains similar information to another URL.
Internal duplication occurs when there are multiple pages containing similar text or images. Poor copywriting skills are responsible for this type of duplication. Poor copywriting means you're not creating unique content for each webpage. Doing this will result in internal duplicates.
External duplication refers to pages that contain similar information to other URLs. You can create external duplication if you have a product category page that lists all your products and one page that lists all your other products.
Google doesn’t penalize websites who have duplicate content. Google does penalize websites that try to manipulate its algorithm to rank higher. It is important to ensure that duplicate content does not appear on your website.
Link building is the most popular way to alter Google's algorithm. Link building involves creating hyperlinks between your website (and other websites). These links may appear unnatural, and Google might devalue your website.
These are just a few ways to prevent link manipulation
-
Avoid low-quality, spammy backlinks
-
Use anchor text that is relevant to your website.
-
Create unique content to each page of the website.
-
Maintaining high-quality content
-
Having a good domain name.
Don't be too concerned about duplicate content. Instead, make sure you have unique content on each page of every website. This will increase your ranking on search engine results pages.
