Google’s Duplicate Content Penalty

Tags: , , ,  

As I’ve revealed to you in my free six-day mini-course (and in much more detail in my Amazing Design Secrets Internet Marketing book if you haven’t got the chance study my course yet), one of the best ways to get a ranking in the search engines is to get a “back-link” to your website. What exactly does that mean, you might ask? I means that you need to get someone who is doing well to refer you by placing a hyperlink to your website off of their website so that the search engines can crawl you. The more often your website is referred, the more often your searchers are going to find your website in the search engines.

Of course, there is much more involved than simply getting back-links to your website to ensure that you get high amounts of relevant traffic. If it were that easy, everyone would do it.The Internet would be filled with traded links and spiderwebs of useless information and nobody would every find what they’re looking for. You have to provide high quality information to get yourself noticed these days. So what most Internet Marketers do is write a high quality article and distribute to hundreds of article websites across the globe. At the very bottom of the article features an “About the Author” section with a short biography of the writer and a back-link to his or her website.

“Bingo!”, says Jeff, the uneducated Internet Marketer. “Now I have hundreds of back-links, I’m gonna get a ton of traffic now!”

And for a few weeks, the excitement was justified–until the worst thing you could imagine happened. When Jeff realized that his traffic was cut by 90%, he decided to do a Google search to see how many back-links existed. He went from hundreds of back-links to about 12 in only 3 weeks.

“What happened?”, Jeff screamed!

What do you think happened? Jeff got hit with Google’s new duplicate content algorithm! Nowadays, it is extremely difficult to beat Google because they are constantly updating their algorithm to beat the cheaters–and it’s not technically cheating!–or is it? Google rewards people for originality. They don’t want their searchers to type in a phrase and get 600 pages of the same exact article in their search results, so they omit the unnecessary ones and bring out other results so that the searcher doesn’t waste their time.

The new rule of thumb for 2008 is BE ORIGINAL in all of the content you write for your website, be thorough, and be of high quality!

So that said, I’d like to recommend a free service for you that is pioneering the way of taking your articles and generating hundreds of original articles using an amazing AJAX thesaurus and giving maximum back-link exposure. This service is absolutely amazing! I just started using it last week and it has really helped me already. Its simple, you just paste your article in, follow the instructions, and in no time at all you have hundreds of variations of your article. The best part is that once you’ve finished, you have the option to submit every single variation of your article at random to hundreds of article directories. I’ve been so impressed, I had to share it with you!

The name of this service is JetSpinner. Here is the link: http://www.jetsubmitter.com/
