Recently the rumor has been that Google Search engine penalizes websites with duplicate content, which is problematic for online article submission websites, because many people have articles, which are syndicated or sold as content for websites in a given industry.

Therefore online article websites need to have a search feature on them for online article authors and writer submitters to use to check to see if there are any duplicate paragraphs in their work that may already be in the system. These writers need to know if there is a new search feature pages where they can test their articles and content by copying a paragraph into them and see if they bring back an article? If so then that could work temporarily.

Additionally a high output writer may be writing articles, which are made up from content in emails over the years. The reason I mention this is because much of the content in my articles comes from topics in my email and posts taken from my old BBS (online bulletin board), some from my current BBS, some from posts, some from manuals, some just working documents. Since over the years I have been mixing and matching some paragraphs may be in more than one place, which will cause duplicates. Bummer.

Indeed it is a bummer and to insure that a writer is not inadvertently duplicating complex sentences or paragraphs into an online artic

le submission website they need a way to instantly check this prior to posting. You see if an online article writer wishes to go through some 10,000 "sent" emails with all sorts of good information and content, some of which may have been pasted information from manuals, BBS posts, etc in answering all these emails. There would be most likely about 500 or more articles in that mess, as they convert them to articles.

Thus for online article writers to post and submit not duplicated information and for online article submission websites to maintain the integrity of their system, we will need to carefully find a way to find a search feature solution to create a win/win situation. If you own online article submission sites you will need a more robust anti-duplicate content solution so think on this in 2006.
