Three Tips for Avoiding Content DuplicationAvoiding content duplication is important if you want your website to rank high in search engine results. This is especially true if you are trying to submit articles to another website to get more traffic to your own. To make sure you don't get penalized here are three tips for avoiding duplicate content. Tip #1 for Avoiding Content DuplicationSometimes search engines assume that you submit articles with duplicate content to other sites as a way of manipulating search engine rankings. Avoiding content duplication when you submit articles is smart SEO strategy for your website because it ensures fair treatment. To syndicate with optimal results, try altering the text before you submit articles. Making sure that there aren't substantive blocks of duplicate content across domains is the best way of avoiding duplicate content.Tip #2 for Avoiding Content DuplicationAvoiding duplicate content when you submit articles to another website can be difficult if you use standard copyright text or a standard disclaimer at the bottom of each article. If you don't minimize this kind of boilerplate repetition, you risk blowing your whole plan of avoiding duplication of content on your website and across domains. The easiest way to fix this before you submit articles is to replace the text with a short blurb and a link to a website or page that has more details.Tip #3 for Avoiding Content DuplicationAvoiding duplicate content when you submit articles to other sites is easy; dealing with someone who is stealing content off your website is not. While you shouldn't stress out too much about this--it's highly unlikely that search engines will penalize your website--there are steps that can be taken if things get out of hand. Start by filing a Digital Millennium Copyright Act request with Google. This request claims ownership over the material and is the best way of avoiding duplicate content on other websites.About the author: Cliff Posey, owner of CRP Marketing, owns and operates webbusinesstoolsonline.com Cliff has also operated several other successful web businesses including Love Song Cards and Radio Career Consultants.
