Google Webmaster Guidelines & Duplicate Content Questions

Gerry, a subscriber emailed in asked questions about duplicate content, ranking in Google and driving traffic to a site. Below you will find my video response.

The email I received from Gerry:

I loved SeoPressFormula but have a couple of questions. I am somewhat confused about duplicate content and getting traffic to the sites. One way to put the sites on automatic after they are built up to the target of 20 or 50 or whatever number of pages is to use RSS feeds or article feeds from directories such as ArticleMarketer.com or UniqueArticleWizard.com.

These, together with the AutoSocialPoster plug-in would pretty much keep the sites building and attracting new traffic with little or no attention. But this obviously introduces duplicate content which the sites are specifically designed to eliminate.

It is fairly easy to keep new content posted to only several sites but if you have a large number it is impossible without hiring people to do it. Many of us, especially us guys ( and gals) in our 70s just don’t want to work that hard or want all of the hassle of what easily becomes a full time job.

If we don’t use some kind of fresh content, duplicate or not, wont the sites just die off after awhile? Or do we keep article marketing and/or PPC campaigns going on forever? Do we do anything to capture emails or just go for the easy sale or click?

This has gone on too long! Sorry. Perhaps you could address some of these types of questions in the future videos or the pdf.

Regards,

Gerry
