I use a lot of private label rights content for most of my blogs, without even modifying them.  Because of this I have feared the wrath of Google through a Duplicate Content penalty.

However, it has been a few years now and I still don’t see how I could be penalized if I have phrases that are still listed in the top couple of pages of the Google search results. This of course leads me to think that there really is no Google Duplicate Content Penalty.

BTW: Just for clarity I am talking about content that is NOT stolen. I have had to deal with people stealing my content and now I use MyFreeCopyright.com to document any new content I create so I can prove I am the originator of the content.

I could never figure out how I could be penalized for duplicate content and yet still have my copy of any given article rank in the top ten on Google, but I have them, so it didn’t make much sense however that didn’t stop me from still fearing penalty.

I am glad I came across Neil’s video. I had just purchased a membership to a site that writes unique articles when perhaps I didn’t need to. However I do hire people to write for my other blogs so I will of course use the membership but
