• Avoid duplication of articles on Internet:
  • Given that we have submitted our website to Google to appear in relevant Google search results, it is important for our authors to know that they should avoid duplication of their articles to be published on Internet to avoid any penalties/ restrictions from Google for the author.
  • What is duplication of articles: When the author provides the same article/ content to more than one website to publish it on Internet it is called duplication of articles by the author. However, if you provide your written article to only one website for publishing it on the Internet and then share its link on different social media pages or on WhatsApp or through Emails then it is not considered as duplication of articles.
  • There are following two options of avoiding duplication of your articles on Internet in order to avoid any penalties or restrictions by Google and consequently by the publishing websites:
    • Do not provide your same article to more than one website for publishing it.
    • If due to any reason you are willing to publish your same article on more than one website then make sure to let the websites know the links of your published articles and mention which website published it first. The website that published your article first will claim it as original content and the other websites that published it later must add a canonical tag to your duplicate article referring to the website that published it first. Failing to do so can lead to restrictions from Google to remove your articles from all the websites that published it and they may even ask the websites to ban that particular author from publishing more articles.
  • To keep the procedure simple, we strongly recommend you to choose first option stated above; that is, do not provide your same article to more than one website for publishing it.
  • Separately, if you happen to notice that any other website has copied your content from our website and published it on Internet without your knowledge or consent then report it to us immediately so that we should inform Google to get the copied content removed from that particular website.
