You Won't Improve Traffic Or Make Money With Duplicate Content or Copied Hubs

For most hubpages writers this is not a problem. In fact few get this, the little tag called duplicate content on any of their hubs. This however is an important flag, one which needs to be taken very very seriously if you want to improve your hubs, and improve your business and improve your return of money. You want traffic to your hubs and to your other writing, and it needs to be fresh and original.

If you see various flags on your list of hubs you have written it is a good thing to check them out. One of the few which is not viewed as being bad is the "duplicate content" flag... this is an important flag not only for you but for traffic and business and of course making money. After a while of having too many flags such as duplicate content or broken links or anything like that you will find your traffic will decrease or drop off all together. You might be everywhere, but all your work is EXACTLY the same... also now, duplicate content is not allowed at all on hubpages.

So, first off: What does that duplicate content mean to me?

It means right now you will have that hub deleted, and it is also against the Terms of Service here... but what about other websites?

Duplicate Content: The famous cut and paste or "stealing" from other sources. Stealing?? Yes, Stealing, if you are using some one else's work or links to build your work. I do not mince words here, if you cut and paste your own work you are still duplicating your content. Now, most people should be aware of copyright issues, but this is important, if you cut and paste other people's work it is stealing and the consequences are huge.

Now, duplicate content does not mean a link or a small 100 word synopsis of something, it means either 10% or more of the content is taken from somewhere else. Now, of course, most will not do this, and most are pretty good people, but even by doing this to yourself you are losing something which you might not see as a "thing" in the beginning.

MONEY. Your Search engine Traffic should a person complain you have stolen their content, loss of your google AdSense account. If you simply duplicated your won content, loss of traffic long-term.

Repeat after me:Never Duplicate Content...

Making Money means helpful... think a whole bunch of duplicated content will do this for you?Why? In a business people look for a choice, and orginal content. Now, let's take this analogy and expand it.

Say you have a hub one writing and then you go to another online article writing place and cut and paste this article there. Now, it is a new audience, but after a while, people are smart and they will see your "hubs" everywhere. Believe me, hub writers are a bit of a community pack people.

I can find many hub writers on Squidoo and Hubpages and Wikinut and I have a feeling on Associated Content and Constant Content. You'd better believe that people will not come to one place if they know you'll have the work in FULL somewhere else very quickly. This is a business and people look for new and exciting.

Repeat After me: Never duplicate Content...

Fine But I make money and the same content is everywhere. It's mine I can do with it what i want!

Sure you can. But the consequences may not be right away, but think of it long term, I can almost guess, based upon the video that not only does Google not like content that can be found everywhere, but also will find a way to make your work "go away,"

Now, it goes to show, that when you start to write a hub it even says that copied content will not be accepted, or spam or other types of content, which you end up saying yes to. So, it does not help to duplicate your content. In the end you will not make money on something people will not find.

 Repeat After me: Never Duplicate Content... you won't make money in the end.

Think like a business: So, what about links? Okay links, I know a lot of people will use social networking and social bookmarking sites to build traffic to their hubs and other online articles. Good for you. It is exactly what you should be doing.

Some people are afraid of links, you know put your hub out there and maybe people will say it is duplicate content. Links are different. A link is usually the title of the hub as a web address. People click on the title and then go to the hub.

You aren't duplicating content, you are making it more visible, and often it will have a bit of a blurb to start people wanting to come to read the rest. So linking is an important part of building traffic and your business, and make money.

Again repeat after me: Never duplicate content.

Now, again repeat after me: hubpgaes is a no go for duplicate content.  if you are found with duplicate content, then it will be deleted.  Thisis a bad thing the better you ORIGINAL content is the more likely you will be okay with anything over the long-term.

Thinking long-term is key to creating quality content, which in turn is key to make the money you want to make online. 

Again repeat after me: Never ever ever duplicate content on any site from any site.  It is a bad thing.

The Last Word--- I believe that as a business you need to be out there, but you do not ever need to copy your content everywhere. I believe that we as business people and as writers are better than that.

Not only that but if you want traffic to keep on coming you need to be creative. Yes I know it is hard to do something new each day, but guess what? I hear that we only use 10% of our brains, so expand your mind and you'll find you can be creative in this business every day.

Writing and publishing hubs are not that hard, any one can do it and do it well, but you need to be patient and not feel the need to be some one else. Be yourself, that is the best thing you can be.

To your original success.
