Duplicate Content & Multiple Site Issues

[pcpancake]

Wow. This was waay above me but quite interesting Greg. Well Spoken and I enjoyed the annotation about you at 0.22 I am a Geek. I understood your speech perfectly. I had been searching if it was bad to post the same video to more than one youtube channel... any thoughts on that? Have a great Day.

[humanyoda]

Greg, you are a smart guy, but you speak too fast. You swallow ending of words, etc, which makes understanding your speech more difficult than necessary and takes the joy out of listening to you. Getting information is important, but enjoying the process is also important.

Nice Greg. Your really intelligent to have thought of those things.

I wanted to know if I have 50 sites selling the same thing is that creating "doorway pages?" Is it bad to have that many sites ranking for similar keywords but it looks like the same site.

my first language is portuguese. Don't push me hard.

But who knows if someone uses rel canonical on every headers pointing to / ?

A friend had just 1 page on google because of that, can you believe? 2000 pages drop off!

Back to the juice: if you have 30.000 pages on google index and rel canonical today every page to "/ " GOOGLE MUST NOT give all this juice to your / page!!!

Also, if your website is the number1 of google search for 'keyword', google cannot let you point a 301 to my site that does not offer the exactly same content!

[quaseprofessor]

The link juice goes REALLY REALLY to 1 URL. If you set 301 who in the heaven could know if it's really really the same content across pages??

A URL sends the browser to the content. A 301 sends a URL to another URL and then to the content. And you can loop it resulting a 500, or 404, or 200 or whatever error message.

The rel canonical goes among the content. It means that /index.php and /index.html should point to the same content but rel canonical says 'we prefer' just /

[SEOavancer]

When you use the canonical tag, are the links to both pages going to count for just the canonical URL?

[iw2mln]

I have a question about. In one website I use Wordpress 3.1.1 with its SEO package. In WordPress I can sselect one of the pages to appear as index (website/index.php for is. Neverthelss, I can also call the page with it's original link (i.e. website/page-name.html). In this case what can I do? Do I will be penalized by google?

[Tachone2645]

Is this still relevant post panda????

[CreativeProfiteer98]

Whoa. So that means all those people autoblogging could possibly get hit with spam penalty. That's why I stay far away from that stuff.

[izvarzone]

Irony is that there are too many duplicate videos. Which makes searching for videos bad expierence.

[melad786]

But it is My own made ....really !!!

HELP.

Thanks Greg. Very clear and concise. Another great addition to Webmasters' arsenals.

[FishingGuruMaster]

The Internet is a research medium, not an advertising medium. Unique information gives you the most traffic. Keep your documents subject-specific. Mixing up information results in keyword washout. All important pages should have a text link directly from the home page. Meta tags should be to the point. They should answer HOW, WHAT and WHERE. The longer your title, description or keywords are, the less important each word becomes.

rel=canoincal doesn't work cross-domains then how about 301 redirects?

[vluchaninov]

rel=canonical do work cross-domain

[BijouMind]

What we've known all along is now being acknowledged - Content is KING - EVERYWHERE. Throw in some links from relevant, high PR sites to that content and it will rank.

[Lienshare]

Great information, has certainly cleared up some issues I was having.

[sajuk123]

can you answer this one,,?

If a webmaster posts adverts and information on classifed and directories with links to thier websites and the information is all the same i.e, name, address, tel, numbers and site description.. etc.. is this duplicate content..? surely this infor can only be the same..?

[AfghanAnt]

That's sort of mean.

[gazzerman]

Greg your information on Multiple Domains is incorrect, or there is a problem that you have not encountered. Please msg me to discuss.

[rtsownage]

I'd give it a rating of 42!

[gspinks11]

This is good information. As a content developer and publisher, I always see websites take my content and republish it. I was wondering about if my original content gets knocked out of the search. Great information.

[hismightiness]

So, should we be careful on using Bold tags then?

[RafaelMinuesa]

Great Video, Thanks.

Just one disagreement: If your website goes under the "omitted results" category, it is in fact being penalized.

[todnyc]

As he explained in the first couple minutes of the video, Google wants to show a variety (as he said, diversity) of different websites--AND different types of links (images, video, news, etc)--in the results. Obviously you, as Rafael the Webmaster, want 10 different pages of YOUR website to be all 10 first-page results, but that's not how they do it. Just create 9 more websites if you want :)

[RafaelMinuesa]

I didn't get my opinion across very well, I'm afraid.

I actually think it is a good strategy to penalize those sites with duplicate content by omitting them from the search results.

I personally hate going through screen after screen of duplicated content results.

[GayBooi]

I'm wondering about this, Are u serious? Can someone clarify this?

[tattoos01]

Well explained and easy to understand. Thanks

Cheers
