Duplicate content is content that appears on multiple URLs. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Scraping content from other websites
- Creating multiple versions of the same page
- Using syndicated content
Duplicate content can have a negative impact on your website’s search engine ranking. This is because search engines want to provide users with unique and relevant content. When they find duplicate content, they may not know which version to rank higher. As a result, both versions of the content may rank lower than they would if they were unique.
