Google has come up with helpful points on how to tackle internal and 3rd party duplicate content issues. Since a webmaster has no influence on third parties that scrape and redistribute content without the webmaster’s consent, Google has strong technology in place to trace back the source of the original content. The correct identification of the original content source saves webmaster’s the trouble of having negative effects for their site.
Google sees the content source in two ways as below:
- Internal - Content pages that has same or almost indentical content that appears within the same website.
- External - Content that appears in the 3rd party websites either with permission or without.
Whenever you engage in content syndication services such as articles, press releases, and so on., ensure that the syndication partners link back to the original website.
There has been incidents where the scraped content ranks higher than the original content. In those case, Google recommends following advice:
- Check if your content is still accessible to our crawlers. You might unintentionally have blocked access to parts of your content in your robots.txt
file.
- You can look in your Sitemap file to see if you made changes for the particular content which has been scraped.
- Include the preferred version of your URLs in your Sitemap file.
- Check if your site is in line with our webmaster guidelines.

An interesting post from SearchEngineLand.com by Andrew Goodman. It is an interesting observation on how ideas fail - its not coz, of the ideas but the lack of willingness to get started from the day #1. We wait for the right, perfect time for things to happen but rarely do we know that there’s nothing like a right time. It’s evident from people who made history from nothing, absolutely nothing. BUT the will to start., to start something.
“The rationale here is this: a cautious, ad-group-by-ad-group and ad-by-ad assessment of a single key performance indicator (cost per order; cost per lead ; pages visited; whatever you like) is actually far less simplistic than it sounds. Most companies don’t even manage their campaigns effectively to these metrics, because not only to you have to measure it, you have to figure out how to improve it! Doing this involves a morass of bid calculations, ad copy tests, marketing communications strategy, landing page tests, site architecture and usability considerations, and more.”
