So you want to make money on the internet, and one of the possiblities is using Google Adsense, you put some Javascript on your website, and you wait until the money comes rolling in.
But you need a website first, a website that attracks visitors, you need something to tell. Now, if you don’t have something to tell, maybe you can have other people tell it for you on your site, while you collect the money from the advertisers.
No problem, there are plenty of Free Article websites where you can download zillions of Articles, ready to reprint on your website. A “CNP” website, cut and paste.
Now create (buy?) some backlinks to your site and there you go.
Sounds easy right?
Fortunately the search engines are not that stupid, and they have build a duplicate content filter, very complicated stuff, read about Google’s patent here: :
Google Duplicate Filter Patent
Did you read it all? No, neither did I. But sort of comes down to this:
Google will detect duplicate, or near duplicate content, and doesn’t want to bother their users with it, so you better be original. If you cannot be original enough, forget about getting any visitors from Google.
And now I quote from an Article, duplicated everywhere on the Internet by a “Joe Duchesne”, owner of http://www.yowling.com/ :
Google has been waging war against all kinds of search engine spam and
especially against duplicate content in all forms. There are two main types of
duplicate content that Google is concerned about.
The first is a website that simply lists the very same page hundreds or
thousands of times with simply a few words changed. This is usually done to
attain high ranking on a wide range of keywords. It is most often used to get
ranked high on a whole bunch of keywords unrelated to your website but can
sometimes be done by a site that is on topic but simply offering duplicate
content.
The second type of duplicate content that Google is concerned about revolves
around affiliate programs. It has been common practice for high traffic websites
to establish an affiliate program. Affiliate programs themselves don’t worry
Google. What it doesn’t like though, is for an affiliate program to take a
template and then offer it to its base of affiliates to use. Some of the higher
traffic websites end up with thousands upon thousands of duplicate websites all
promoting the very same things and, according to Google, not offering any real
value to the internet community. A website offering this type of cookie cutter
website can easily find themselves de-listed by Google as happened to Template
Monster a while back.
The third type of duplicate content is simply not included in the Google
index. This is content that is found elsewhere on the internet at large. Google
and the other major search engines are interested in gathering and cataloging as
much quality, unique content as possible for human consumption. To this end,
they look to minimize the amount of duplicate content they allow in their index.
This is why creating a new website and simply filling it with third part content
will rarely if ever result in high rankings in the Google index.
The solution? Don’t rely on duplicate content as your main method of driving
traffic to your site.
So this article quote will get me in the supplemental results of Google, if people find this post anyway 
Anyway, I think this duplicate content filter, will create a better web search experience, and will force webmasters to be creative (in many ways )
Thank you Google!
Any way, Google says:
Don’t create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.
Ok, substantially , ok…OK
