Basically, I have a sponsor page linking to several product pages. The sponsor page has text (+- 300 words) on it describing the sponsor, and product pages have that same text on them plus some extra text (+-150 words) describing the specific product. Title tag, h1, meta tags are all original on every product page, but the sponsor text is repeated on every product page.
My question is: do SE's interpret this as duplicate content? I would think not, since the most important fields (title, h1) and 1/3 of the text are all original. But even if it's not seen as duplicate content, would it not be a disadvantage for the product pages to get listed in the SERP's, because of the repeated text? Anyone? I'm of the view that as the content is repeated it can be referred as the DUPLICATE content. Quote: I have a sponsor page linking to several product pages... If there are only one page on your website and this page advertises for i.e 4 products with the situations you said, we can say about 25% of this page is copied form page of each product and in this case this page will not be marked as duplicate. A good test would be to to see if you can make a search where both pages show up in the same results.
I believe Google filters out the duplicates in a particular search result. If you can get both pages to show indicates Google things they are not duplicate. Unique content in every product page always gives search engine priority and it can give Page rank also . Duplicate content would always show duplicate whether search engine or human mind Essentially, when a search engine robot crawls a website, it reads the pages, and stores the information in its database.
Then, it compares its findings to other information it has in its database. Depending upon a few factors, such as the overall relevancy score of a website, it then determines which are duplicate content, and then filters out the pages or the websites that qualify as duplicate. Unfortunately, if your pages are not duplicated, but have enough similar content, they may still be regarded as duplicate content.

here's a Similar Page Checker http://www.webconfs.com/similar-page-checker.php Duplicate content isn't entirely bad, because the duplicate content will likely rank very differently based on the domain authority of which the duplicate content hosting website has. In other words, if you're posting on a newly created blog of yours, say abc123.blogspot, and you also have the same blogpost on a very popular website, your blog post on the very popular website is going to receive search traffic where your other blog post likely won't because of the domain being new.
Though the idea is of course to draw the traffic to your own site and not the reposted blog site, your new website simply will not generate search traffic without domain authority, and you can build domain authority by reposting blog articles and duplicate pages on highly regarded domains, and receive: domain authority through links, exposure through web traffic, and referral clicks through the hosting domains web traffic/links. In my opinion that is also duplicate content.
If google can consider a short title tag to be a duplicate when appearing in several webpages, then I would think the sponsor text will also be considered the same. Let no one lie to you, duplicate content can hurt your site. Make sure you do away with it, Search engines don't like it too i think i've read it somewhere, why will they hurt the original post when those sites who duplicates contents will be banned?
are they gonna be banned?
