Avoiding Duplicate Content Penalties: The Plug-in

In this post, I discussed a way to avoid duplicate content penalties with Ezine Articles. Here’s the plug-in.

As mentioned in the previous post:

…the plug-in is just a proof-of-concept. You’ll need to extensively test and fine-tune the function that creates the additional text so that the articles don’t go into Google’s supplemental index. Once you’ve achieved this and they generate traffic, create a large network of sites!

The plug-in simply appends text to posts on-the-fly for the SE spiders only. To view the appended text, install the Firefox User Agent Switcher, switch to ‘crawler’ or ‘bot’ and refresh your blog page.

Again, the plug-in can be downloaded here.

The plugin uses the Markov module from YACG, so credit to the author(s).

hey there just wanted to point out that the URL you have provided for YACG is NOT affiliated with the creator of YACG, busin3ss. it is a mirror site set up by someone is trying to steal YACG. the actual YACG site is http://getyacg.com

Are you sure? The busin3ss email is at the bottom (unless the gmail address isn’t the real creator’s email…)

nothing sort of brilliant but will get you easily banned unless you use IP-based cloaking
