I have some clients who are requesting that I put pages on their websites that amount to duplicate content. One wants the exact same page on two of their websites. Another wants to put content from a brochure they have some right to reprint or distribute on their website. But the same brochure content is already online at the original author's website. I explain to my clients the possible consequences of publishing duplicate content to the web, such as the page will not be indexed by search engines or their web site may be penalized. But I really want to offer them alternative solutions. The obvious one is to link to the content on the original author's website if that is possible. Does anyone have any other strategies for dealing with client requests to put duplicate content on their websites?
