    Duplicate content is not unique content which is used at other sites and its is also called as spamming the eye of Google

    Duplicate content is content that appears on the Internet in more than one place (URL). When there are multiple pieces of identical content on the Internet, it is difficult for search engines to decide which version is more relevant to a given search query.

To provide the best search experience, search engines will rarely show multiple duplicate pieces of content and thus, are forced to choose which version is most likely to be the original—or best.

    Hi,
    Duplicate content is content which appears in more than one location on the Internet. Duplicate content generally refers to substantive blocks of content within or across domains that either completely match other content or are appreciably similar.

    duplicate links not found in google indexing then you need to check your sitemap containing links of your pages. If your sitemap contains that links you need to delete them and have only links of your live pages. Fix any broken pages links of your site if exists.

    But what if you submit your article on another website that accepts that and your link signature is at the bottom of it? It is duplicate content, but it's not stolen.

    Hi,
    Duplicate content is content which appears in more than one location on the Internet. It is problematic for SEO because search engines avoid including similar web pages in search results, as they compromise the user experience.

    However, duplicate content is not always a bad thing in and of itself. Provided it is not done on a massive scale in a short span of time.

    Duplicate content means same content placed on different places.

    Duplicate contents can be checked using various online tools like Copyscape. These contents are harmful for your website and should be removed immediately to avoid search engine penalties.

    Duplicate content is that content which seems to be similar to multiple locations (URLs) on the web. This can affect the ranking of a web page.
