What is Duplicate Content?

Online Content that appears in more then one place.

How does Google handle Duplicate Content?

Google looks for Duplicate Content. When they find more then one page showing the same content they filter out all but one page and all the duplicate content will get shoved down toward the bottom of the rankings for that specific search and the main page they choose will stay in its appropriate rank. For the most part Google does not treat duplicate content as spam. With that said if you do nothing but duplicate content they do reserve the right to view your entire website as spam and your website wont show up in searches.

Can I make a blog post and quote text from another website?

Yes. You can put a text in a quote. For example if your writing a blog post and you have your own original content, then a paragraph that in quotations quotes someone's text from another site. If possible leave a link back to the original website. But if you are copying an entire article from someone website even if you put it in as a quote you will be dinged for that.

Designers are blogging all kinds of advice about what mobile strategy we should follow, but there is no single approach. Each company or website needs to look at what best fits there needs and make a decision based on there own users. Are the users of there website always on the go? Or will they be looking at large-scale images at home from there Desktop computers. Each new website needs to base there decision on there budget and what there clients need the most. Lets look at the definitions:
  • Responsive Design: Designed for multiple devices, adjusting the design based on the device. Equal, but different.
  • Adaptive Design: Designed specifically for a mobile or tablet experience. Not equal and separate.
  • Native Application: A program designed specifically for iOS, Android or Windows. Different and separate.
  • No mobile design: Designed for desktop and tablet only.
