What does it mean when searching for "your exact content" in goog, and your site does not come up first?

1. Typically Google will display the result that they feel to be the legitimate source. However, I have had pages with stolen content appear higher in the SERPs because the website had a higher domain or page authority.

2. Duplicate content is never a pretty picture, and yes it can hurt your rankings. It can hurt them by having multiple pages from your website removed from the Google index if they have been flagged as duplicates.
