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.

What is The World Entrepreneur Success Training Program? It’s Family

As always, I love scouring the Internet, late at night and coming across the WEST Program Global Family’s sites, blogs and videos. I don’t know what it is really, maybe the connection, the heart and being able to actually see the faces of my students instead of them being whispers and digital signatures. Please, anyone who stops by, take some time to check out each of their blogs. This is a great cast of people and they truly do show alot of heart when they write.

Thanks WEST Students
Bob

Shona asked me a while back, why is it that I’ve bought alot of other courses and PDFs and I’ve never started to see the results or take action at this level, until the WEST Program. Because Bob Rocks Shona! Nah… it’s because the WEST program isn’t just Internet Marketing. Each of our lessons also focus on individual learning and are integrated with personal development. Check out Shona’s Video with her adorable little one:

Cate Says…she makes me blush. Cate is from the other side of the world, at least from where I sit, all the way over in Australia. She speaks with a wickedly fierce softness but you can tell this lady could bite if she wanted to… just kiddin Cate I’ve know Cate for some time, but she had never trained under me before and she always seems to be excited when there are new lessons and developments in WEST… thanks for sticking with it Cate

Ahhh… Cara. My partner in crime. You see, Cara and I were in Magnetic Freedom’s MAP program a couple of years ago. She was teaching me how to send emails, while I was teaching her how to study the personality traits and characteristics of others. Thereafter, Cara joined me as the co-host of Out-Side the Box LIVE! and soon became a member of The WEST Program… never a dull moment when Cara is around:) She actually spills the beans on a super simple strategy I had given her… listen close, it’s so simple you may miss it!

This next video was shot just after I had met a guy from Rhode Island, Mike Silva… finally! Another dude… and he’s from the East Coast Anywho, Mike really didn’t know much about me, and he was a bit of a veteran on the Internet, but I thought perhaps I might have a few tricks up my sleeve that good ole’ Mikey Boy hadn’t figured out yet. From that point on, where Mike learned and began to dominate Google, we decided to partner up… yep, WEST students aren’t just students to me, they are friends, students, family… and when they got the goods… I’d be more than happy to work with them! Along with Mike we are also working with Mike’s partner in crime, Keith Dennis from the UK… and they are the mad men behind the educational portal that is now The World Entrepreneur Success Training Program. Here’s Mike:

I will have more from WEST students very soon and alot of new faces to show off. To me, the Internet Marketing Community is beginning to lose a bit of credibility. There are a lot of characters out there that seem like they are consistently promoting the new “Tell All Product” of the week. Hmmm, you’d think by now they would find one that they could stick with, that would continue to grow their business… you’d think by now, they would’ve found the only TRUE Internet Marketer’s online university in The WEST Program… they’ll figure it out one day

By the way, a big welcome to SEO Genius Paul Counts. Not only for joining our elite JV Team, but also for joining on the soon to launch company eWeb Marketing Management. The new online Internet Marketing Solutions firm for medium, small, and large businesses online or off, that are looking to grow their revenue.
