Within hours of my child sexual abuse story being posted online, ripoffs started emerging – with the bylines of other journalists posted on them. Mamamia took 900 words of my 1,900-word story. The Daily Mail’s headline was not about the catastrophic impacts of child sexual abuse. It was about a 12-year-old boy having sex with his mother.

There’s a lot of junk on the web. There is also a lot of good stuff on the web. And then there is the stuff that’s been lifted from the good and dropped amid the dross—the aggregation, the block-quotes, the straight-off copy-paste jobs. The extent of that duplication now has a number: according to Matt Cutts, a long time Google search engineer who developed Google’s family-friendly “SafeSearch” filter and who now leads Google’s web spam team, “something like 25% or 30% of the web’s content is duplicate content.” That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

25%-30% sometimes seems low; but then again, I do hate to find some splogger with my stuff so my ire may seem to weight those numbers.

Google doesn’t penalize sites that use duplicate content. And that Google goes after sites that have X% duplicate content is another SEO myth. Now you’re probably wondering if Google doesn’t penalize sites that have duplicate content, what’s all the fuss about? While Google doesn’t penalize sites for duplicate content, it does discourage it. Let’s see why Google discourages duplicate content and then look at the different ways to resolve the duplicate content issue(s) on your site....

Ginger Gorman shares a powerful story about plagiarism, freelancing and major media ripping off other journalists' work. Even more rampant in blogging unfortunately.
