Same Content in Different Formats is Not Duplicate [SEJ]
Search Engine Journal contributor Matt Southern has published an article titled ‘Same Content in Different Formats is Not Duplicate’ citing Google’s Jon Mueller as the source.
He says, “Google’s John Mueller says identical content published in different formats, such as a video and a blog post, is not considered duplicate content.
Site owners can safely repurpose a video as an article, for example, without concern about Google seeing the two pieces of content as the same.
It’s even possible that duplicate content isn’t as great of a issue as site owners and SEOs make it out to be, Mueller explains.
This topic came up during the Google Search Central office hours stream held on January 22. A question is submitted from a site owner who runs a YouTube channel. They note when a blog article is repurposed as a video it tends to not rank in Google”.
