Is duplicate content online really penalised by Google?

If a website has multiple URLs pointing to the same content - is it really bad?

If a website takes content from a partner website and and posts it- is it that bad?

Also how can you get penalized?

I've always heard that it was harmful for your site. Anyway i don't think having some duplicated page (even could happen by mistake) would really penalise your site

You can just go through Google webmaster blog to get 100% correct idea.

As a summary Google will try their best to show original contents. So they will give higher rank for original content and give less rank for duplicate content.

the only problem for them is to determine which is which -
I have seen a competitor of my clients who have about 10 websites, all similar, all showing up.

Julien has an interesting point. I've seen situations where competitors with multiple sites/same content have numerous identical pages with differing domains showing up in the top 20 SERPs but typically it was for markets where the competition was minimal - that is: other web pages were simply so poorly optimized (or non-existent) nobody presented any real competition to the content spammer so their pages did show up more often in the top 20. Over time as others became more SEO savvy or the market became more competitive the pages disappeared through what might be termed web "osmosis".

Eventually Google does weed these boneheads and their short term marketing ideas out.

Yep, Google will typically give preference to the original creator of the content but if say a site with 5 UV's a month wrote some awesome article and then Yahoo put it on their homepage, yahoo would destroy them.

That's completely wrong because Google has no way of knowing who is the original creator.

I've also asking the same question!Today, I was looking for some game cheats and I've found that over 20 top gaming sites have the same game cheats (content) ... 100% identical! How is it possible?

Read this twice and repeat as necessary to store it in the database between your ears.

The answer to your question is:

Because there is no such thing as a duplicate content penalty.

Google knows who the original author is. Google knows when every webpage first published. If original author publish his article after duplicate content then no one can help.

How can they "know" when every page is published?

They will know when they first found a page but that does NOT mean it is the original
