Show Notes

In this enlightening episode, Mark A Preston and Kristine Schachinger dive deep into the complexities of content ownership and authorship in the realm of Google's search algorithms. As digital landscapes evolve, the challenges surrounding content authenticity and author rights have become increasingly prevalent. Our experts explore the nuances of how Google handles cases where original content is republished on different platforms, often without proper attribution or canonical tagging.

Kristine brings her extensive experience to shed light on the intricacies of content scraping and the myths surrounding Google's handling of authorship. The conversation navigates through the history of author patents, tracing back to the era of Google Plus, and delves into the shift in Google's strategy post-Snowden revelations. The discussion also touches on the concept of entities and how Google uses them to determine expertise in content, rather than tracking individual authors.

Mark and Kristine also address the practical implications for content creators and website owners, emphasizing the importance of understanding Google's current limitations and strategies for safeguarding one's content. From discussing the role of identity platforms to the impact of scraped content on search rankings, this episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone navigating the digital content landscape.

Listeners will come away with a better understanding of the challenges in maintaining content ownership online, strategies to protect their work, and an appreciation of the complexities Google faces in policing the vast internet content ecosystem.
