Many of us are unaware of the harm Duplicate content and how to deal with it. So today, we’ll share Google’s official guidance on handling duplicate content.

In general, duplicate content refers to substantial blocks of content within or across domains that either exactly match or are very similar to other content.

significantly. In most cases, this is not inherently deceptive. Examples of harmless duplicate content include:

.

- Discussion forums that can generate regular or mobile-targeted pages

• •  Store products displayed or linked through multiple different URLs

• •  –Print-only versions of web pages
  • .

Using 301 redirects: If you’ve rebuilt your site, use 301 redirects (“RedirectPermanent”)

in the htaccess file to successfully redirect users, Googlebot, and other crawlers. (You can do this in Apache using an

htaccess file, and in IIS through the admin control panel.)\

.

الاتساق: حاول الحفاظ على اتساق الروابط الداخلية. فعلى سبيل المثال، لا تنشئ رابطًا إلى http://www.example.com/page/وhttp://www.example.com/pageوhttp://www.example.com/page/index.htm.

.

Using top-level domains: To help us show the most relevant version of a document, use top-level domains whenever possible

for country-specific content. For example, it’s easier for us to determine

أن http://www.example.de يتضمن محتوى عن ألمانيا عنه في حالة http://www.example.com/de أوhttp://de.example.com.

.

النشر بعناية: If you publish the content on other sites, Google will show the version we consider most relevant to users for each search, which may be

Your preferred version or another version. However, it’s helpful to make sure that every site where the content is published includes a link back to your original article.

You can also ask those using the syndicated content to use a noindex meta tag to prevent Search engines their copy from being indexed

من المحتوى.

Use webmaster tools to tell us how you’d like your site to be indexed: You can tell Google about your preferred domain (for

سبيل المثال،http://www.example.com أو http://example.com).

.

Minimize canonicalization:. For example, instead of including a lengthy copyright notice at the bottom of every page, add a brief summary, then

link to a page with more details. You can also use the Parameter Handling tool to specify how you’d like Google to handle

URL parameters.

.

Avoid publishing brief notices: Users don’t like seeing “empty” pages, so avoid placeholders whenever possible. For example,

avoid publishing pages that don’t yet have any real content. If you create placeholder pages, use a noindex meta tag to prevent them from being indexed

هذه الصفحات.

.

Understand your content management system: Make sure you understand how content is displayed on your site. Blogs, forums, and similar systems often display the same

content in multiple formats. For example, a blog post may appear on a blog’s home page, an archive page, and a page

listing other posts in the same category.

.

Reduce similar content: If you have many similar pages, you can expand each page or combine them into one. For example,

If you run a travel website with separate pages for two cities that contain the same information, you can combine the information for both cities on

one page, or expand each page to include unique content about each city.
