Duplicate content is one of the most common problem that writers and site owners are facing in the world on Internet.
As you can see, some online writing sites where writers can earn money for publishing original posts are facing duplicate contents which is difficult to avoid.
Huge websites with hundreds or thousands of pages are prone to duplicate content issues daily.
The question is; how do writers understand what is “Duplicate COntent” when they claimed that the post content they had written are original, their own ideas and solutions?
Under what circumstances do owners of the website claimed that is “Duplicate Content” submitted?
Generally, duplicate means “copy or double”, content means “article or post”.
Hence, duplicate content indicates two articles with the exact same writings but different URL link.
Google search may find 2 similar URL address but the contents of the 2 articles are exactly the same, just located at different websites.
As a result, Google identify these 2 articles as “duplicate content” eventhough the URL link are different.
The problem here is that we’re basically looking at the same page with the same content. The only difference is that the content on the last URL is in a different order.
Google sees this as duplicate content.
The most common duplicate content method is to publish the original content of a post to several websites.
For example:
A writer has written an original content post “ How to write a good blog”.
He published this post at several websites without changing the original content.
This is considered as “duplicate content” even though the post was written originally by the writer.
Remember that every website wants :
-original content
-one and only post that can be found in one site ONLY.
-that means, it can be publish at one website, not several website
-original content post cannot publish elsewhere unless changes are made in the content
– Changing the title but the post content remains unchanged is still “duplicate content”
This is solely my ideas and suggestions:
1)Do not copy proverbs or quotes from other websites. Most writing sites do not accept same quotes from numerous quote websites even though your opening paragraph content are original. Use your own creative quotes if you can compose any.
2)When you write a post with your original ideas, you can only publish it at ONE website. If you intend to publish it elsewhere, you have to change 70% of the content by rewriting it.
3)Most sites accept same recipes but the content of the introduction to the unique recipe should be different. In addition, it would be wise to change part of the recipe step by step instructions in another angle.
4)Include new fresh ideas into your original post. Remove the old ideas which are outdated. Readers are keen to read up latest ideas or unique suggestions which other posts do not have.
5)You can write same Title posts but different content. Break your post into 2 parts so that your readers will not get bored easily.
6)Always use online plagiarism checking websites to check for duplicate content. Copy a few lines from your post, paste it in the search box. Make sure your contents are not found elsewhere.

My content is my content. If I try to publish at a site and it's not accepted, I submit it elsewhere. My conscience is clear. It's my content and I won't have a "computerized program" tell me different. I know what's mine! :)
To be on the safe side one should check to see if any of what is produced is already available on the Net. Just highlight a portion and paste it on google search.
I understand what you're saying. But if the search engine can find my words in more than site on the Internet, can't they program the search engine to also indicate that the words are coming from the same person? Just sayin'. Google tried to help with that when they started using the “rel=author” feature. With that feature, if you had a Google profile, when the search engine produced something you had written in the results, it also showed your profile pic next to it. It was actually kind of cool. I tried using that feature. But it seemed quirky, like the kinks weren't ironed out, so I eventually stopped using it. People are still encouraged to use it though. That supposedly helps with the problem of duplicate content. Although you and I both know that what would really help is IF people would stop stealing other people's work!! Duplicate content wouldn't be the problem that it is, if that wasn't happening! :)
In the world of internet creators are less and cheaters are more just as the readers are more and writers are less on this earth. Keep in mind creation is a God gifted ability and cheating is the production of cunning thought that always deceives to the cheaters in practical field.
The Internet has been characterized as the largest threat to copyright since its inception. The Internet is awash in information, a lot of it with varying degrees of copyright protection. Copyrighted works on the Net include new s stories, software, novels, screenplays, graphics, pictures, Usenet messages and even email. In fact, the frightening reality is that almost everything on the Net is protected by copyright law. That can pose problems for the hapless surfer.
What is protected on the WWW?
The unique underlying design of a Web page and its contents, including:
links
original text
graphics
audio
video
html, vrml, other unique markup language sequences
List of Web sites compiled by an individual or organization
and all other unique elements that make up the original nature of the material.
Duplicate content is content that appears on the Internet in more than one place (URL). When there are multiple pieces of identical content on the Internet, it is difficult for search engines to decide which version is more relevant to a given search query.
To provide the best search experience, search engines will rarely show multiple duplicate pieces of content and thus, are forced to choose which version is most likely to be the original—or best.
Search engines don't know which version(s) to include/exclude from their indices
Search engines don't know whether to direct the link metrics (trust, authority, anchor text, link juice, etc.) to one page, or keep it separated between multiple versions
Search engines don't know which version(s) to rank for query results
When duplicate content is present, site owners suffer rankings and traffic losses, and search engines provide less relevant results.
Another option for dealing with duplicate content is to utilize the rel=canonical tag. The rel=canonical tag passes the same amount of link juice (ranking power) as a 301 redirect, and often takes up much less development time to implement.
