Duplicate content generally refers to substantive blocks of content within the same domain or between different domains that match exactly with other content or are very similar. Most of the time it is entirely unintentional, or at least not done with malice or normal forum pages that generate dynamic pages taken from other sites, shops that show (and, worse still, links) different URLs, and so on. In some cases, duplicate content is created in order to manipulate the ranking on search engines or gain more traffic to this page more or less popular.</p> <p>What is not duplicate content? Our algorithms do not see it as duplicate content the same article written in English and Spanish. Similarly, you should not worry about occasional snippets (quotes and more) are identified as duplicate content.</p> </blockquote>
