A TRUTH REVEALED - Hijacking Google Search Results with Duplicate Content
12/17/2012 11:45:00 am
It’s distressing news to find out what’s going on with
search results .Dan Petrovich, a SEO has elucidated in details about his
hijacking few pages in Google in his recent article. He also illustrated his
copied version over the original version of the page. The outcome has puzzled
Google with the result that a specific page can appear in place of another. The
first thing he did to prove this is to copy the source code and the entire page
including everything and put it across a fresh URL on his site .Then he linked to the page and gave it a +1.And it
worked!
In similar ways, Dan also experimented with few more domains
but the results varied from one another. With his findings, hopefully very soon
Google will figure out about hijacking issues with duplicate content.
Hijacking and spamming are not very new theories in terms of
Google Search results. There are many high volume keywords when typed for
Google search resulted in some absolutely irrelevant information which are no way
related to the specified keyword. This is not limited to only keywords but for
many blogs which have been ragged from beginning to end. The saddest part is
that such copied blogs are even ranked much above than the original.
It is important to note that one can lose lot of traffic due
to duplicate content on most of the sites. Duplicate content is one of the most
promising problems which can affect a website’s success with Google. Hence
Duplicate content is a big no-no as it dilutes branding and negatively affects
ranking .Many times Duplicate content can arise due to technical issues. One of
the issues for inadvertent duplicate problem could arise due to many similar
but slightly different categories of products or due to bad or mis -configured
content management system (CMS).At times duplicate content can also come up if
a particular website is categorized under target market rather than by product
type and the products are found in each categories with different URLs.
There are many ways to filter out the search results and
check duplicate content. This includes:
- The most prevalent and simplest way is to copy a small piece of the content from various pages of the website, and then adds quotation marks and do a Google search.
- The second way to check duplicate content is to visit Google Webmaster Tools account. One can find “HTML Improvements ”under “optimization” .If one selects “Duplicate Title tags” one may immediately find out some duplicate content existing in one’s website which for sure one has no clue before.
- Yahoo also offers a similar service for Webmaster’s that can enable one with more results on duplicate content.

Content is the king of website ........ so given good info here
ReplyDeleteNice content with lot of info, really helpful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful and splendid information on fact issue. There are many such people still promoting their duplicate content. They are not getting traffic but still they are doing the same activity.
ReplyDeleteBasically they use black hat seo techniques to provoke their visitors to click in.
Google Panda is there for protecting this issue. Now we should not worry about that.
Now, there is no way to put duplicate content in search engine like Google. Google made it so hard and impossible to promote your duplicate content in their SERP.
ReplyDeleteIn earlier days, some people had benefited from this, but now Google Panda is there to protect. We should not feel danger and bad for our site. Judge is there...
