Google helping to find out duplicate data
Monday, November 24th, 2008Duplicate content in various web pages provide a serious threat to search engines. Search engines will normally have to face a serious challenging question on which pages have to be shown as search results to users. They don’t want to show more than one web pages with same content to the users.
It is here that a new patent from Google has come to help content creators. This will help creators to identify if their content is already present in the internet in some other web pages. This patent is being designed with the help of contents being stored in specific system. When user submits content, Google will look for similar and matching contents. If any such are present in their store, this will be intimated to the users.
The patent by Google will provide details to users on where to search for duplicate content similar to their content. This will help users to check if their content is being used in some other places without authorization. Though there are services like copyscape, this will not consider video and audio images when checking for duplicate data. It is here that this patent by the search engine giant will gain high importance. This will also help to find out duplicate data that are being copied from offline sources as well.
