How Much Duplicate Content is Acceptable? According to Matt Cutts, 25% to 30% of the web consists of duplicate content. According to him, Google doesn't consider duplicate content as spam, and it doesn't lead your site to be penalized unless it is intended to manipulate the search results.
Why is duplicate content a big problem?
Product pages with duplicate content may or may not rank. And if they do rank, they may not hold their ranking if Google becomes confused and isn't sure which piece of content to rank. If you have thousands of pages of duplicate content, it may take some time to get everything fixed.
