The Tricky Issue Of Duplicate Content And What Google Says About It

Being a full-time online means you have to keep a close watch on how
Google is ranking pages on the web... one very serious concern is the
whole issue of duplicate content. More importantly, how does having
duplicate content on your site affect your keyword rankings in Google
and the other search engines.

Now, recently it seems that Google is much more open about just how
it ranks content. I say "seems" because with Google there are years
and years of mistrust when it comes to how they treat content and webmasters.
Google's whole "do as I say" attitude leaves a bitter taste in most
webmasters's mouths. Many have had more than enough of this attitude
coming from Google and ignore what Google and their pundits say.

I have long learned you have to rise above your own personal feelings
or beliefs with it comes to running an online business. Never let your
emotions affect your business. Go with the flow and keep your mouth
shut if you like taking those trips to the bank. But Google has been
very kind to me on the whole, they have driven me nuts more times than
I can count, but overall I am very grateful and pleased with my dealings
with Google so I try to do everything I can to please them.

Regardless, whether you love or hate Google, there's no denying they
are King of online search and you must play by their rules or leave
a lot of online revenue on the table.
