Can We Use Duplicated Content On Our Website?

The following information was sent to me from my first internet coach, Fabian Lim. It’s a set of slides prepared my John Mueller. A quick query on the name “John Mueller +Google” shows that he is a Google Webmaster Trends Analyst from Google Zurich.

When I was writing articles and submitting to article directories, most of the write ups are borderline duplicated content. There are a lot of information on the implication of duplicated content through the eyes of Google. There are many “do”s and “don’t”s. For me, the whole process was like walking through a mine field. I was always worried that Google might see my articles or site as duplicated content and send them to the depth of the Sandbox and never to been seen again…

After going through the slides, Muller kind of gives Google a human personality and character. Google is becoming more human and has a sense of compassion. Once in a while it will show its wrath by white washing useless and spammy sites.

I know it’s sound strange and freaky. Google’s robots are scanning our text right now. Very soon it will have the ability to interpret our intention and action even before we do something. Science fiction is becoming science fact. Spooky.

For now, the information shared by Mueller make sense. Watch the slides below and put your comment on it. By sure to sign up to our RSS feed for more updates on Google myths.
