Duplicate content is a problem that currently affects millions of websites<\/b>, either intentionally or unintentionally, and is caused by poor technical implementation or content plagiarism. It is not recommended that Google detects that there are two URLs with identical or very similar content.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can classify duplicate content into two types: that which occurs within the same website (internal duplicate content) and that which occurs on external domains (external duplicate content)<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

In this article we are going to focus on how to report duplicate content for plagiarism between two external domains. <\/span>If you are looking for an article related to internal duplicate content you can read the following post: What it is and how to deal with duplicate content on your website.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Why doesn’t Google want duplicate content?<\/h2>\n

The most important thing for Google is to offer users quality search results<\/a><\/strong> that are appropriate to the search performed by the user, in short, to show the best content. I think all of us users expect not to have to watch the same content over and over again 20 times. Therefore, Google tries to identify what is original and quality content<\/strong> and omits the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n

What happens if Google identifies content as duplicate?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are two types of cases:<\/span><\/p>\n

Show it:<\/b> Google may show duplicate content in search results<\/a> if it considers that, despite being duplicate, it is relevant to users. An example may be a press release published in various media.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not show it:<\/b> when we perform the search, Google decides to show the most relevant contents and omit some similar entries that it includes in “results that have been omitted”:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"SERP<\/p>\n

\n

“In cases where Google perceives that duplicate content may be displayed with the intent to manipulate our rankings and mislead our users, the site’s ranking may be negatively affected, or the site could be removed from Google’s index altogether, in which case it will no longer appear in search results.” – Google<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Duplicate content due to plagiarism: what can we do?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Google prefers not to index or display the same content multiple times in its results, so it will only display one. Generally it will offer the original content<\/strong>, but there may be cases where the algorithm selects the URL of the website that has plagiarized the content, severely damaging the original source which may not appear in the results. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

An important point:<\/strong> if Google has not indexed for any reason the original version from which the content has been copied, but has indexed the URL that has plagiarized it, it will not identify it as duplicate content even if it is, since it will consider the first indexed content as original<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Therefore, if another website has copied your content and is infringing<\/strong> copyright law, we recommend the following:<\/span><\/p>\n
