Google PR vs Duplicate content

rajanforums · Share | #1 (**permalink**) 04-05-2007, 01:45 AM

If i am not wrong pr is all about getting quality one way back links.

Consider I publish a 50 page website with plr articles in it. These are duplicated content. I can manually submit my site to around 50 high pr directory and i also bring high pr related back links.

Now my website will get pr based on the quality of incoming links or duplicated content? which one will be considered?

Does duplicate content affects pr?

Please help me in this regard.

Advanced thanks from Rajanmr

The duplicate content pages will not be indexed. The penalty for dupliicate content is not a loss in pr value.

The duplicate content pages might be indexed in the supplemental results. There is no reason for Google not to index them and it would also be unfair. If the duplicate pages are relevant for the content of the site, not indexing them will only harm the site. And I doubt that this is Google's intention. On another note, if the site us based solely on duplicate content, that's bad practice. And Google will certainly penalize that!

Google does not penalize duplicated pages, google filter those pages.

Duplicated pages can be indexed if you have quality backlinks, and if not - they could end in supplemental.

Better not duplicate content so as to not lose PR ranking I suppose...

never ever to have duplicate content. not good for search engine, not good for visitor to read as well.

You can get high PR for your site. Because PR follow another algorithm. But, I have seen Google pushing duplicate content way down the SERPs. It seems like the page doesn't exist. But when I search with the specific link, the Google shows that it is indexed.

If you want a quality, organic site that is SE friendly then DO NOT use duplicate content. Remember that you want your visitors to join your newsletter or at least bookmark you so give them all the original content that it takes to make them happy.

Duplicate contents is being thrown by google to supplemental results.... At least rephrase or change the wordings on the contents don't duplicate...

There is a lot of duplicate content in the indexes, so Google doesn't catch all of it.

Yes. They can also be two way.

PR comes from the inbound links only.

No, although it might affect your ability to rank as you'll get hit with a duplicate content flag eventually. If that happens, PR for that page may drop.

Duplicate content will get supplemental results but I don't think that search engine will penalized your site as long as you don't steal the content and you put the links of the author.

Search bots will find out the crapy content while crawling no of times doesn,t value for pr updation.

my experience has been that exact duplicate pages have a very difficult time getting indexed in Google. Make the page a little unique and it gets easier and easier. duplicates CAN get indexed and even ranked, but it takes a lot of work in terms of link building.

I have a couple Amazon affiliate stores and they automatically build 10-30,000 page stores using amazon products. EXACT duplicate pages... I've found Google will usually only index a handful unless I go in there to make them different somehow or build a lot of backlinks to specific pages.

Lately Ive been avoiding any type of dulpicate anything. I dont want any of my pages to have the same description, content or title.

Seems like it gets easier and easier to wind up in supplemental.

I agree if you have the same article 50 pages you will only get one link!
