The myth of a duplicate content penalty prevails; however, Google’s goal is to provide diverse results, not to impose penalties, leading to potential traffic dilution.
Search results often return similar pages, and Google’s systems select the most useful results to minimize duplication. If content is too alike, Google may show only one.
Canonical tags and 301 redirects can help guide Google to the preferred version of content, but they are not guaranteed solutions and depend on Google’s recognition.
When a scraped version of content surpasses the original, it signals issues with the original site’s authority. Google's ability to identify such duplicates is crucial.
