have a quick question about duplicate content. How does google work this all out? In that on my pages I have a form on each page with the same bit of text explaining it, is this going to count against me? The content on each page is original. Surly most sites might have small bits of repeating text on it, would this count against you?
How does Google detect duplicate content?
seo;google search;duplicate content
Google will be able to detect that the text you entered correlates to the form, you won't be penalized for duplicate content.Google will only hold content against you when the entire (or majority of) page content is duplicated (often including meta tags etc), So no it won't be held against you! :)
