Dup content is bad for users and so it gets filtered out of the SERPs.</p> <p>There are no penalties for content duplication. Google try to filter it out, but it's not a penalty. </p> <p>Your opinion? </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/duplicate-articles-in-my-blog-%e2%80%93-delete-or-not#post-4617 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 06:12:18 +0000 0xff 4617@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Try to find pages indexed by Google for your site and check whether the duplicate articles are part of that. Remove all the duplicate articles that are not indexed by Google to avoid getting penalized again. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/duplicate-articles-in-my-blog-%e2%80%93-delete-or-not#post-4613 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 18:25:02 +0000 Articles2u 4613@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>My traffic of Google SE increased once again....</p> <p>I am not delete any articles.

It will stop indexing and remove the pages that are indexed which are potential duplicates. This may be the reason for the drop in the traffic for your blog. So I believe removing will definitely cause no SEO problems than keeping the duplicate articles on your site. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/duplicate-articles-in-my-blog-%e2%80%93-delete-or-not#post-4583 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 10:16:00 +0000 Articles2u 4583@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>My blog articles2u.com started on April, 2007. I accept more than 300 articles from other authors. All of published articles - duplicate (already published in other site).</p> <p>I stop accepting articles from other authors and start to post my own articles from Jan 2008.</p> <p>Now my blog have 620 articles (including duplicate).</p> <p>End of Dec 2008 my blog penalized by google, my traffic from google reduced to 800 to 30 per day. I am not done any illegal activity for getting penalty from Google. </p> <p>My webmaster tool statistics page/ top search queries shows my keywords in good place (no change), but in SE I am not see my blog page that position and traffic reduced.</p> <p>Google penalize for duplicate articles?</p> <p>I will plan delete all duplicate articles (all article indexed on google). If I delete all duplicate articles it creates any problem for future SEO. (PR, Index, Ban by google).</p> <p>Please provide your idea to solve my problem.</p> <p>Thanks in advance<br /> Sarpras Navas </p>
