Is Duplicate Web Content Hurting You?

We want to remind everyone that if you are using mass produced content that has been duplicated across the web and are not performing well in organic search results, the duplicate content may be part of the problem. You are much better off producing quality and unique content that will be interesting to your users. If duplicate content has to be used (i.e. approved wording from a vendor you have permission to use), it may be wise to consider using noindex meta tag or a similar method to block the duplicate information from crawling.
