Duplicate Content & Multiple Site Issues

[@SawomirZdunek]

That's the best explanation on duplicate content I've seen so far. Thanks.

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.

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. Gary Skrzek iMarket Canada

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

[@JackMeadInZen]

Great presentation and explanation - Many thanks for this.

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?

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.

REMEMBER: All of these "solutions" require that the end user not only knows, but also applies the correct usage of Google and search engines in general. I find an overwhelming majority haven't a clue how to fine-tune and really use Search Engines they just type & hit search. Either that or time is a constraint as it is with most people. Therefore there is no "one fix" which works for all in all instances. If most don't use an engine correctly, most may not see something you intend them to.

[@NeilLittle]

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

Google should not force us to implement all kinds of workarounds and limitations to our websites. Instead they should come up with a better solution. Right now I need to have two different domain names pointing to the same website. (a business agreement between two companies to share content, but with different branding) But I just learned the I cannot use the canonical attribute across domains, so I'm screwed again. Does anyone have any ideas on how to overcome this?

[@stewartw.9151]

So the new Search Console does not have the facility which the old version had! It was a simple matter there to specify the exact version of the page, sitewide which you wanted indexed! That appears now to be gone. I have 301 redirects and canonicals operating to ensure that result, but google still will not correctly index the pages! Pathetic.

[@ErnoHorvath007]

I'm pretty confused where is the limit of content duplication 'today'. I personally try to avoid duplicate content, however I see some big company still using this and honestly it's working :-( freessl com and rapidssl com is different on the main page, however if you open another page it's exactly same. Both ranked in Google and seems no penalty...

[@advocarescam9]

Good video, this make a lot more sense to me now

[@izvarzone]

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

[@splatterdaynightmares]

How valid are articles from 2009??

[@JakeSee]

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

[@cleancreative6137]

keep in mind that, that translates to, you could be getting technically "penalized", not by google, rather by something not showing up for many users because they don't know that. For instance, site A is supposed to show but site B does, so user just searches something else or leave because site B isn't what they wanted and they don't know there's a site A.

[@JackMeadInZen]

use the 301 permanent re-direct....?

[@GayBooi]

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

[@Tachone2645]

Is this still relevant post panda????

[@RSFORYOUPTYLTD]

who to listen now, is good for panda or not. Thank you

[@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.

[@foxyrollouts]

good vid

[@niteshsingh4415]

Thanks Google webmaster.

[@luchaninov1]

rel=canonical do work cross-domain

[@Johan007b]

I believe this video is no longer relevant due to Panda.

[@Masterhughesproductions]

the google servants with as usual google babble cant stay on the subject.
