Duplicate Content on the Internet

I get a lot of questions asking about issues with getting the Google Slap for duplicate content. Look, if you’d like to be sure that your content is completely original, then pay close attention to how I show you how to have a conversation with yourself to be sure that you are not posting duplicate content on your site.

Step 1: Defining What is Duplicate Content?

Duplicate content is content that is exactly identical to content that can be found on another web page, whether it is on your web pages or somebody else’s web pages.

Also, duplicate content can be found within the template of your site. Here’s what I mean. If you have text links, anchor text or, alternative text in images on the template of your site then you must be sure that you have at least 35 more keywords within your body content of your site. We want to make sure you have more unique content on your page than you have within the template of your site.

Think about this: Site A has three paragraphs of text on the body of their home page. Also, within the template of their site, they have 20 keywords within all of the navigation and links and such. That same page sticks to a 5% keyword density on the body content, meaning if there is 500 words in the body, 5% of those words are keywords. So, then we find that page on the first page of Google one day and the following day it is gone.

What happened? Why did this page get removed? More than likely, it’s because there are more keywords or words in general within the template, that Google says, “These 20 words that you have on this template shows up on every page of your site, therefore, your site is scattered with duplicate content.

Now we move on to site B. Site B also has 20 keywords throughout the template, but the body content on their home page has 1500 words and a 5% keyword density. Now, there is more unique body content to overpower the content that is within the template. Realisticly, if you were to add three or four new paragraphs of original content to each of your site pages, there is a good chance that you will rank higher in the search results.

Let’s move on to our next step.

Having a Conversation to Promote Unique Web Page Content

Nine times out of ten, I will guarantee you that the conversation I have with one of my friends is going to be 100% unique compared to the conversation that YOU have with your friends. Why? Simply because I am different than you and you are different than me. We have different thoughts, we have different ideas and we talk about different topics. So, imagine if I took my conversation and turned it into a blog post. Let’s imagine that a 20 minute conversation turned out to have over 30 thousand words.

I could take that hypothetically transcribed conversation and break those 30 thousand words down into 20 unique 1500 hundred word articles or blog posts. Isn’t it safe to assume that no other person in my industry will have a post identicle to mine? Of course it is! So, when you are writing your content, I suggest creating a mock conversation. Here’s how it works.

Designing Unique Content that is Accepted by the Search Engines

First, lets pretend that we have friends, even though we are closet computer geeks that sit around writing articles about how to keep from writing and posting duplicate content. Let’s, for a moment, pretend that our friend Roy has come to us and asked, “How can I get my blog to generate more traffic?” Well, many of us can give Roy quite a few tips, so I want to play this conversation out in my head. Without stating Roy’s name, I want to answer some questions that I believe Roy would ask and throughout my article I am going to answer these questions. Here’s an example of my conversation with “Roy”.

What plug-ins do you have in your blog?

I don’t know what plugins are and I’m not really certain that I have any. Well, then you should probably consider getting, at least, an All In One SEO Plugin, a Sociable Plug-in, the Max Blog Press Plug-in and a Viral Tweets Plugin. That would be a great start and it would certainly begin to help with on site SEO and social media traffic.

How many videos have you created and submitted to the video sharing networks?

Videos? I don’t even know how to record a video. Well, this is simple. Do you have a webcam? Yes. Alright, fire up your logitech and record ten videos that are about 2-4 minutes long. Do a bit of keyword research and create titles, descriptions and keyword tags for each video. Then, be sure that your keywords are included in your title and description and submit those videos to all of the video sharing sites. Then, post each of the videos you submitted to You Tube to your blog, one post a day. Be sure to write a descriptive blog post about that video and include that video’s keywords in your blog post and label them in your All In One SEO Plug in before you publish your post.

Now, go back to You Tube and edit your video description to include the link back to the relevant blog post. Now, you have web 2.0 viral video marketing in place as well as, quality, relevant content to generate more traffic and search engine listings. Pretty simple right?

Yeah, that’s real simple… I know I can do that all day long!

Master Uinque Content Generation with Conversation

You don’t have to be a great writer to develop unique content on a regular basis, how long were you reading the above text before you forgot that I was speaking to my buddy Roy? By typing a conversation as if your are talking to and asking questions of a reader and then answering those questions for them, you have a nice fluid, conversational post that is sure to be read by all of your traffic.As well, you have a site filled with unique content and the search engines will place you in the rankings of the content generation kings. The method above works extremely well for blogs, hub pages and squidoo lenses… but you can also fine tune that method to write content for your websites.

I truly do hope that this article has helped you skip past the realm of duplicate content and that you can see that anyone can beat duplicate content… as long as you can keep it original.

Funny, I never really thought I would be writing this post… but, if what I have to say is important to you, read further and enjoy the videos. You likely won’t see an email from me in the future and there definitely won’t be anymore free rides and I’ll explain what that means in a moment.

So, what could make an internet mentor, someone who truly cares about the success of others throw in the towel? Simply put, lack of perceived value and no regard for other peoples’ commitments to you. Now, this isn’t necessarily directed toward YOU, but it is directed toward those who are more concerned about their own personal gain than they are with respecting the time and effort that others have contributed to them.

I’ve goofed a few times in my internet career. Not finishing clients’ projects on time has been an issue, doing to much to offer more to my subscribers while spending less time with my family and not cutting people off when they were becoming bottom feeders and wasting my time, just to try to find that “magic bullet” that would make money gush out of their computers.

Recently, one of my students said that they were losing faith in me. Hmmm. I was told that I wasn’t teaching enough. I was told what I needed to do and what they expected. I’ve been hit with a few demands and consistently work on fulfilling my commitments. Sometimes though, I wonder if people from the other end are looking at the commitments they are getting from me.

Take for example. From January of 2008 to July of 2009, I’ve released over 200 hours of free video lessons that gave enough content to make a homeless man rich. I’ve written close to 1300 hundred articles teaching even more and I’ve broadcasted mentoring sessions live, my live radio show coaching and had one on one mentoring sessions, all for free, for the past 2 years that range up to 700 hours.

I have written close to 1600 blog posts coaching people in personal development, internet marketing and many other topics with the hopes at helping others to enhance their quality of life. During that time, I’ve been asked to give people scholarships into my high end coaching programs, give discounts, make payment arragements, give products away for free or to just spend my TIME for free with them with no regards of what effect that would have on my business, my time or my family.

Effective immediately. No more free rides, no more discounts and absolutely no more of ME allowing others to waste my time. I am focusing my time on my World Entrepreneur Success Training Program, eWebMarketingManagement.com and my clients’ projects. I will continue with my niche marketing and will not allow myself to attach to my subscribers. I made a promise to myself, back in early 2007 that when I found the way to succeed online that, I would teach others to do the same… until people began to take advantage of that kindness and began to not hold themselves accountable for their own success.

That time has come and I am currently clicking on the delete button on my mailing list.

My WEST students will only receive WEST updates from my support responder and  any new subscribers can expect regular product promotions from me that will provide them with solutions. Here’s the thing, I don’t sit here and type away on a computer all day and record videos, spend hours in post production and send out countless pieces of unique, quality content for my health. I’m in business to succeed and provide CUSTOMERS with value. Not to give away that which is precious to me… i.e. my time and my products.

Anyone who can respect that , feel free to enroll in the WEST program at http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html

If this offends anyone, I’m not sorry… I’m glad that I’ve been able to helps so many people and that they continue to contact me and tell me about the amazing results and benefits that they gain from what I have taught them.

By the way, below you will see one last internet marketing lesson video from me. It’s 64 minutes of solid content about SEO. Recently someone told me that I didn’t teach an SEO section in the WEST program. Well, I did… but it would take for someone to understand that SEO is literally EVERYTHING that you do online… and those who spend their time JUST teaching SEO is WASTING YOUR TIME!

I hope this and the many other pieces of content I have on the internet are helpful to you and I truly feel sorry for those who chose to ignore the email that I sent about this post… because that is the last email they will receive from me.

Take care and good luck in all that you set out to accomplish. I wish you all the best and that you continue to grow. For those of you who wish to become successful online but don’t want to do any work, who doesn’t want to implement strategies and pay for marketing material or advertising… there’s an easy way to remedy that problem… log off the internet and don’t open another internet marketing course ever again.

Of course you could waste your time with adsense and writing articles for pennies and dollars if you’d like… it’s up to you.

Sincerely

Entrepreneurial Success Lesson Because of a Fever?

It’s funny. Last week I had this major fever that stopped me dead in my tracks. I didn’t feel like moving, didn’t want to do anything and I slept for over 14 hours straight. When I woke up, I got this burst of inspiration. You see, after having been sick for over 7 1/2 years with cancer, I tend to pay close attention to what my body is telling me.

With that, last week I thought to myself, “What caused this fever when it was the beginning of summer, I didn’t do anything that could make me sick and nothing about my diet could’ve induced this fever. But, something was happening that I couldn’t quite wrap my head around. It was a growth period of thought and insight.

Success Development Creates a Pinnacle Video Lesson

As I began to feel better I started thinking to myself, “What could I teach my subscribers about this experience and how to develop success in their lives.” It hit me like a ton of bricks. Growing to each new phase of understanding, knowledge and implementation comes from being ready for change and new phases of development.

I recorded this video showing you all of the different people who have had a direct, or indirect, impact on my success and what you can realize through this process. After this video, there are two other videos that I will take you through. Be warned, this process may take up to almost 2 hours of content rich success development. Pay close attention to the lessons contained here, they could literally change your life (NO JOKE!).
