I’m also interested in seeing the results of your little experiment. I don’t have a problem with using freely available articles for this practice, its just when people use others “not freely available” content and do this that gets me riled up. Google seems to determine what site is the “copier” based upon each sites age, pagerank and other “googlitics” which will often times punish the wrong site if the offending site has more “pull”

I’ve had it happen to me on a few of my sites when others frame my (and others) content on their site.. So, i put a script on my sites now that will break out from their wanna be frame so all is well.. it’s stuff like this that really miffs me

I did for a day or 2 then took it down. Want to stay under the radar until I can get the traffic where I want it

You thrown any adsense on?
It’d be cool to see how much you can make off it in this little experiment

Yep, I was thinking of spinning some of the articles but my initial aim was to see just how clever the duplicate filter is. Initial results were very good (for lazy people), I’m just chucking a few links into the mix.

I love these sorts of experiments, testing the boundaries of what’s just www rumour and what’s fact. By the way – Yahoo loves my duplicate content

I think, as far as google cares, there are two types of duplicate content.

Syndicated [such as news stories] that are bound to be duplicated, and plagurised content.

In either case google defines the original as the first one it sees, or by the one with the best backlink profile. You see it assumes that the original, and subsequently best article, will have most of the links.

Alternatively you could always run the content through a synonimizer P

Build some backlinks and see what happens, this is an interesting experiment. I do feel that the duplicate content issue will have an adverse effect sooner rather than later though.

I totally agree Joey. The only point in doing this is to disprove one of the rumours that through word of mouth became gospel on the net.

Or then again maybe it’ll prove that Google really are that good at cutting out the crap

Well, personally I dislike duplicate content, I have seen some websites that rank very high, and most of their content is just duplicate content, sometimes what really matters is the ranking power (backlinks) of the website.

As soon as I get that shoddy content back in the SERPS I’ll let everyone know
