What is Duplicate Content?
About Duplicate Content
Duplicate content refers to content that appears in more than one place on the internet. This can happen within a single website or across multiple websites. Duplicate content can negatively impact SEO because search engines may have difficulty determining which version to include or prioritize in their search results. It can also dilute the visibility and authority of the original content.
