How does Google know I am the first one to write the article?

Content

Hello

I’m about to spend some good money on content and was wondering if Google knows which site it appears on first.

If someone comes along and copies everything the following day hows Google to know who had the unique content first?

Thanks

The one which is indexed first in google is considered as Unique content and the later one as duplicate.

I had the same concerns until I found this: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2006/12/deftly-dealing-with-duplicate-content.html

Competing on unique content has something to do who will be the first hand that wrote the article. Of course, Google can see the date and time of every articles that posted in every site. So, Google choose the article who was the older one. But there is some consequences that, even you are the oldest one who wrote the content, Google find some new duplicate content that makes good sense than in your article. That’s why, sometimes index the duplicated one than the original. the best thing that you can do is, work with the quality and catchy content that makes Google will impress into your output. Be unique in the sense that you can elaborate and collaborate what do you want to possess in your article. Just like a game, keep your content an offense and defense mode. That is the quality content means.

How can Google see the date and time of every article posted in every site exactly?

7

Every file you upload to the web has a lastmodified date and time attached (unless the server turns it off so that the current date and time gets substituted).

You can check it yourself for ANY web page by typing

javascript:alert(document.lastModified)

into the browser address bar.

Don’t worry, they seem to know which one is the original and which one is the duplicate. As what is mentioned by felgall, this is how they determine on it. Of course, if you are indexed first, that would give yourself an advantage. Make sure you ping and have links pointing to your site so that crawler access it often.

Sitemap will help, that will surely tell Google you are the first one to publish the article.

Can you explain how that works as it makes no sense.

Google know when they first saw a page with given content and they know when each page was last modified - by comparing when pages were last modified and when Google first saw a page with that content they have a pretty good idea as to which copy of a page came first.

If you just think about some common sense assumptions you can answer this question easily.

  • If someone could just grab content on your site and essentially “take” the ownership of the content, then companies/websites would be consistently trying to find ways to sabotage their competitors websites by stealing their content.

  • Google is smart enough to know when a site is linking to an original source or trying to “copy” what another site is doing, otherwise search result values would be crap.

I’d worry more about keeping the content on your site fresh and keeping your site from looking like it is reusing content all over. That’s the purpose of the “read more” links on blogs.

If you are buying content for your site, where are you worried about this content showing up? Search engines index your site and content and will have time stamps of when they crawled that information.

May the first come first serve basis is implemented based on the crawl.

In addition to mapping out the internet, Google also has an app called “Google Time” which keeps track of every time-space event in the universe and logs it. It’s quite impressive.

time is the key…google is not a fool…they know who published first…cheers

There is no way to google understand you are the first one to write the article, it’s depends on the crawler which google crawler crawl your page and indexed into it’s database then it’s purify that that content which u have write is unique and fresh content than it’s varify that you are the first content write which u have write unique content…

thanks…

Google Time? Are you serious?

Sorry dear not only content is depend which is the best site but also site analysis, keyword selection and title. when google index ur page than it show ur each and every thing not only content. but google provide first priority to content.

That page whose content is cached first by googlebot is the orginal one. If you find out someone has copied your content you can complain at google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreport

Where do you get this rubbish from?

Suppose I create a new site today and it takes two weeks to get a particular page indexed. Someone else finds that page and copies it verbatim on their site that gets crawled hourly with new content getting indexed almost immediately. Even though my page is the original, the plagiarist’s copy got cached first.

Then you would have to submit a complaint to Google and be able to prove that in fact you are the originator. He’s correct that Google index the first instance they find and every copy after that is considered duplicate, it mostly works because generally the original IS the one that gets indexed first.
