I think my fellow bloggers will agree that every blogger’s worst nightmare is duplicate contents, when you have kicking posts and you update your blog regularly, a great problem comes to the surface, I don’t mean to scar you but seriously it is, the problem is - is your contents original or stolen?
Recently search engines try to filter stolen contents in order to remove them from the search results, because they want to provide users with unique contents, but the foxy webmasters make different copies with different names to deceive the search engines, this filter is so paranoid sometimes it removes original contents from the search queries.
How duplicate contents filter works?
When the search engine’s robot crawls to your website, it stores all your website information on its database and compares them with other existing information, depending on the relevancy score of your website and other factors, the search engine decides which are duplicate contents and which are not, then it filters out the pages from the search results.
How to overcome duplicate contents?
There isn’t really a way to get rid of duplicate posts, but that’s not going to stop you from taking preventive measures to avoid this issue and make search engines know that your contents is original, for instance you can go to Copyscape.com to look for copies of your pages, then flag them as stolen.
You can also include a copyright notice or a warning banner in each page of your blog to assert ownership over your contents.
Sometimes adding your own comment to your post can help you avoid the inconvenience.
There is more about this issue in Google Webmaster Central Blog.
