Google's Duplicate Net Content Filter in Action

If you don't believe Google's Duplicate Content Filter exists, I have Dramatic Proof their Net content filter exists and it's really effective.

On Gregorian calendar month 5, 2005 I publicized an article entitled "7 Top Route to Avoid Link Theft" which was picked up and enclosed as content on else websites.

Before the article was discharged I checked on Google whether any results already existed for the exact phrase "7 Top Route to Avoid Link Theft" and there were no listings for that term.

Over the next few weeks I monitored through a search query on Google how many an results appeared in Google for the title of my article. One week after publication there were 6,760 results listed in Google, a week later it was 14,100 and it reached a peak of 17,000 results by Gregorian calendar month 26, 2005.

4 weeks after publication the results in Google had fallen slightly to 16,600.

Almost 6 weeks after publication the results listed in Google had fallen to 44.

In a matter of less than two weeks the number of search results on Google.com for the title of my article had gone from 16,600 to simply 44.

In case you're thinking this is because all these else websites born by article and replaced it with else content I should add that a search on Yahoo.com on the same day still showed 14,300 results for my article.

What's much of these 44 results on Google, much than half consist of listings from the same websites. In else words several sites have the same article duplicated on several pages on their website.

So Google's Net Content Filter is not used to move out duplicate listings from the preferred websites it chooses to support in the search results.

On August 28th, 2005 8 weeks after 1st publication I distributed the article over again to a new list of article sites to repeat the process. After 6 weeks the same article had reached a peak of 5,620 results on Google. Less than 2 weeks later the results had fallen to 217.

For me this was dramatic proof that Google's Duplicate Net Content Filter is active and really effective. If you're questioning if else major search engines have a duplicate content filter I can confirm that Yahoo for sure does. The same article which was once listed on 14,300 sites on Yahoo, has fallen to 344 over the same time period.

From these results it would-be seem Google takes simply about 6 to 8 weeks to move out duplicate content victimisation its Duplicate Net Content Filter.

But the question remaining is simply how makes Google decide which out of over 16,000 results makes it support and which makes it reject ?

I have witnessed situations wherever my own articles appear in results on else websites, but are not listed in the results for my own website.

So clearly Google makes not take into account who the mastermind and author of the innovational article was once deciding which sites wish remain in its search results.

It likewise seems to have nothing to do with wherever Google 1st finds the article.

Some articles I have publicized to my website for several weeks before cathartic them for distribution to else websites.

In that time the Google spiders have visited my site several times and Google has had enough time to activity out that the article was 1st found on my site.

It would-be be exciting to see if it's possible to activity out what factors Google is victimisation in its Net Content Filter to decide which results to support in its listing and which ones to remove. But that's for another article.
