I’ll leave all the SEO arguing up to other people, but I just noticed this and thought it was kind of ironic that the Google-owned YouTube hosts the same content on multiple URLs
Clearly these are the same page right now. The Google Guidelines pertaining to duplicate content state:
Duplicate content on a site is not grounds for action on that site unless it appears that the intent of the duplicate content is to be deceptive and manipulate search engine results.
Take a look at these search queries:
- http://www.google.com/search?q=republican+debate - YouTube ranks #7
- http://www.google.com/search?q=debate&start=10 - YouTube ranks #17
- http://www.google.com/search?q=presidential+debate - YouTube ranks #6
Do you think this is an intentional quest for higher SERPs, or just an oversight? And if, it’s a quest for traffic, doesn’t this violate Google’s own guidelines?
