Confusion About Duplicate Content

[cookies186]

Ok, so my understanding of duplicate content is that when Google looks at a page that has 100% original content, it considers that content to be important, and once indexed, would consider that content to be the original.
If someone then decides to duplicate that content, Google will notice that it is not the original as that same content has already been indexed on another webpage, and then Google won’t consider that duplicate content to be important, so it would result in the duplicate content not being indexed or appearing deep in the search results.
But what happens if 50% of content is duplicate? I have noticed that the content is not considered duplicate, but would Google still prefer 100% unique?
The reason I’m asking this is because I want to put duplicate snippets of text on several of my internal pages, and I’m wondering how Google would see this.

If you do editing after every 6 or 7 words. Google will not find your material copied. AS Google check ev 12 words at a time. Always try to change that.

There are several ways to include your text snippets so that they are not indexed to avoid repeating them on multiple pages. That's what i'd do in this situation. make your indexed text original and unique.

I think sometimes the site's reputation, geographic location or even how a site present the contents like in terms of site coding or using of emphasizing tags like bold, italic or H1 has effect too in publishing and showing on results.

As for your plan to publish content on multiple pages of your site, better avoid showing the same contents or large portion of contents on them. Maybe couple of sentences or summary where it looks like a preview or reference then a link to the original article is enough. Learn too how to use the canonical tag..

If you are writing content for your site remember one thing. After completed the content just check it once in copyscape.com. If the result is showing less than 25% then the content is ok for your site. If the result is more than 25% then it will better not to use the content in your site. Because google allows 25% of copied content in any site but never allows more than 25%.
