Is the Google duplicate content filter hurting your search engine rankings? The video below covers several issues including the dup content penalty as well as how wordpress handles your content.

Most people understand that using free content from article sites or even worse paid membership sites can often times hurt your search engine rankings online.

After all just what do the major search engines have to gain by indexing and ranking your content when they have already listed the same content?

The answer is nothing at all. Seriously.

However Google’s duplicate content filter also looks for duplicate content across one domain name. You might wonder how does the same content get listed on various sections of a website? Well, let’s take wordpress for example.

  • If you were to  post an article to more than one wordpress category you just created duplicate content.
  • If your categories render your entire post rather than the excerpt … yep, more duplicate content.
  • The wordpress archives again post that same article yet another section of your site.
  • How about the rss feed? Are you posting full posts or excerpts?

As you can see it is very important to make sure you set up your site in a way in which your NOT creating duplicate content across your site. Further more make sure the wordpress theme your using has address all of the above issues.
