Duplicate Content That Can Make Websites Affected by Google Penalty Are:

  • You come and read the article on this blog and then copy the contents and then publish it again on another blog like what this blogger nobi did here [caralearningseo.blogspot.com = blog copypas!] can be called a website/blog that contains duplicate content that can be subject to a Google penalty .

    • Duplicate Content That Does Not Make Your Website Affected by Google Penalties Are:

    Many think duplicate content because of the problems below can cause our website to be penalized, but it’s not! the truth is that website performance will decrease as a result many of the pages on our blog experience a drop in ranking which impacts on traffic.

    When it happens like this:

    There are two URLs indexed by Google when in fact they are the same page, for example:

    URL 1:domanname.com/article-1.html

    URL 2: domainname.com/index.php/article-1.html

    This doesn’t result in a Google penalty at all, so if you experience something like this you should use a 301 redirect by adding the following code to your .htaccess file:

    redirect 301 /url-yang-salah.html /url-yang-benar.html

    or you can also add the rel=canonical url attribute to the <head>input code</head> unfortunately I can’t provide the desired code considering the differences in the CMS used.

    Duplicate content problems like this generally occur on Joomla! or a site created using incorrect coding. In addition, canonical problems are also often caused by web server performance that does not activate mod_rewrite properly.
