Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 32157, member: 636"] When the same stuff shows up in different places online, search engines get confused. They can't figure out which page they should show in their results. This happens because websites often copy text from somewhere else, or they might have several addresses that lead to the same information. Search engines hate this duplicate content problem because it makes their job harder. They don't know which version deserves credit or which one people should see first. Your website's search ranking takes a big hit when this happens. The search robots might skip over your pages completely or split ranking power between multiple copies instead of giving full strength to just one page. If you want your site to do well, make sure each page has unique content that doesn't appear anywhere else online. [/QUOTE]
