Photo Duplicate Content

**kimberland** · Nov 12th, 2008, 08:37 AM

Junior jammer question here...

I know you're not supposed to have duplicate content
(a no-no for Google)
but if you use the same source URL for a photo,
can you use it multiple times on a site?

The photo would be hosted on only one URL
but appear on different pages.

Thank you in advance for any answers
(and not laughing at my lame a$$ question)!!

I think having a pic used many times (one source) on different content is not relevant, makes no impact. Meaning, there is no penalty. I'd be willing to bet that that content is actually weighted better (not worse) in an image search. If you have 100 pages of content, and every page has the same outbound link to an external website, that page might receive a more favorable weighting. I'd say it wouldn't be different for the image -- that would make everyone's logo flagged for dup content ... not likely.

Yup, i do not think it will make anything negative. It will search out the most relevant page it is on if it comes up in google image search.

Thank you SO much MJ and Lighthouse!
No penalty... whew!
I was hoping that was the answer.
