Duplicate content is an issue for many of our small business seo clients. Thank you for this post

Hi Tom,

I think google will be looking down on your competitor. But, I guess that depends on which of you is getting the content indexed in the search engine first. If he is getting the content indexed first then you might have a problem.

Great post, but tell me this…. I have a competitor who has been duplicating my content on his site. Who is Google looking down on???? My site is much older than his….

Gotta love those drawings of Rand’s. I’m going to use those to explain the problem to clients, because I usually get carried away with the detailed technical explanation that nobody cares about.

I still say duplicate content is decided by the words around the search phrase, after doing some fairly extensive testing last year (though in all fairness a lot has changed since then). Small tweaks to content in the right places can make all the difference in who is dupe and who isn’t.
