Default Re: Google is destroying website rankings

The problem that was pointed out to me was that if a press release distribution company puts a press release on their website, then if Google sees the press release -or even recognises a quote from it- on any other website, Google would penalise the website for having duplicate content.

Some people say that Google is not penalising websites, but if the action by Google causes a website to slip in rankings, then it is, in effect, a penalty, even if Google argues that it is not.

Should the press release distibution firms block their press release holding sections from Google bots?
