How can I make sure that Google knows my content is original?

"Google crawls site A every hour and site B once in a day. Site B writes an article, site A copies it changing time stamp. Site A gets crawled first by Googlebot. Whose content is original in Google's eyes and rank highly? If it's A, then how does that do justice to site B?" Kunal Pradhan, Ahmedabad, India

If it's in different places, so there is no "duplicate content" to the extent that Google is concerned. So do not think that it is "duplicate content" in your own mind, because, for purposes of SEO, and more generally "to understand what you are doing internet marketing" to have a conceptual framework, definition so little consistent with Google's probably not the best starting position.

Of course, there is nothing to prevent someone to be like Humpty Dumpty in Through the looking glass if they want to be like ("When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a tone of some disdainful, "it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less") but if you allow yourself to imagine that what is really "syndication" is "duplicate content" (just because you "choose to define it that way ") to pull you in all sorts of confusion, problems and misunderstandings.

And before you know where you can start to believe that there is "duplicate content penalty" for things that not even the "duplicate content" in the first place, and all sorts of nonsense like this.

Does Google see repeatedly generated content as a bad thing?
