Google duplicates, also known as duplicate content, refers to the presence of identical or very similar content across multiple web pages or websites. When Google's search engine crawls and indexes web pages, it aims to provide users with the most relevant and unique content in the search results. Duplicate content can create challenges because Google needs to determine which version of the content is the most authoritative and relevant to show in search results.
There are different types of duplicate content. One type is when an exact copy of a web page exists on multiple URLs. This can occur due to technical issues, such as URL parameters, session IDs, or printer-friendly versions of pages. Another type is content that is very similar or slightly rewritten across different pages, either on the same website or different websites.
Google typically tries to identify and filter out duplicate content to provide a better user experience. When duplicate content is identified, Google may choose to show only one version of the content in search results, or it may penalize websites by lowering their rankings.
