Everyone on the Internet knows that search engine ranking is one key to success: after all, if your site isn't listed near the top of the results, most people will never see it. In the past, one way that unethical webmasters ensured their sites rose to the top was by posting duplicate content over and over again on their sites. If your article appeared ten times on the 'Net, you had ten times the chance of that potential customer might see it.

Uh-uh-uh...
Understandably, this practice annoys the search engine people, because they know their users just want to find what they're looking for. No one wants to have to wade through dozens of identical results let alone pages and pages of useless "internet scrapings" that just pull bits of nonsense from other websites. Therefore, some portals have instituted a duplicate content "penalty" of sorts. The algorithms are constantly being tweaked but the intent of the penalty goes like this: when the contents of one result are essentially the same as the contents of another, the one with the lowest priority will be dropped from the results.

Ouch!

Clever webmasters have figured out an ideal way to get around this problem: instead of using the same article over and over, come up with a new one on the same subject. Sure, it means a little work, but all you have to do is take a slightly different angle, and soon you've generated a new, original, differently structured article that won't set off those duplicate content alarms. If you buy your content, be sure that you purchase an article guaranteed to be original from your provider. Using the same article that your competitor uses is kind of like using the same toothbrush: it should never be done, because it's not healthy.
