What will duplicate contents do to my website?
Mostly, this is done to manipulate traffic, if you are putting up contents from other different locations or platforms on your website, it makes analyzing google algorithm kind of difficult. And if your website has plagiarized contents, it can be flagged down by google.
Google does not impose a penalty for duplicate content. However, it does filter identical content, which has the same impact as a penalty: a loss of rankings for your web pages. Duplicate content confuses Google and forces the search engine to choose which of the identical pages it should rank in the top results. Regardless of who produced the content, there is a high possibility that the original page will not be the one chosen for the top search results. This is just one of the many reasons duplicate content is bad for SEO.
