Duplicate Content

[crocman]

Hello Moz

Quick question.

Can I copy and paste a paragraph of text (100 words) from my main category page into my products without hurting SEO of the category page? The content on my category page is so good I don't want to take chances as this is what I will be ranking for.

Thanks

Hi there!

You do know that this probably will make google angry because of duplicate content, why even think of doing it? haha

In my opinon, without knowing the whole site and/or those product pages where that text will be inserted, the answer is HELL NO!.
Of course there are many scenaries where it could be benefitial in SEO and/or UX and/or editiorial purposes.

Hope it helps.
Best luck.

No, create original content, it's a beast, but it's worth it.
