Hi, is not so clear for me what is really duplicate content and what is ok...obviously it is clear that if I copy and paste an article from another website it is duplicate content, but I would like to have more clear some different topics:

  1. Article Marketing Webites: May I have an article written by me that is published on my website, and I want to push it in the article marketing sites (one or more)...If I put the article as it is:
    • Do I create a duplicate content? If yes but to who? For me? For the article marketing sites?
    • Do I have to choose if publish it on the Article Marketing sites or on my Website? Which is better?
    • May I publish the same article to more than one Article Marketing site?
  2. Aggregator Websites: is it clear that they don't create duplicate content...but why, if I have an article that is on my sites and it is published also on some aggregator sites.

Regards Enzo

Google, at the recent SES, defined so the duplicate content:

What is duplicate content? 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.

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.
