Let's use this thread to discuss strategies and techniques that can be used for dedooping articles, content, pre-made templates, etc.

First, let's discuss what is "unique", etc. There's really a few ways to look at this:

1. From the SE's point of view.

2. From the readers' point of view.

3. From your POV.

While many of us, especially those that use PLR-type content want to believe just re-arranging the words creates "unique" content, the average reader probably won't agree.

For example, while the two following sentences have been rearranged, IMO they will still be considered "doops" to the average reader:

1. George Washington was the first president of the United States.

2. The first president of the United States was George Washington.

...On the other hand, SEs just may see these sentences as each being "unique". (Although LSI and phrase based indexing may influence this, as well.)

Another thing to consider is that there are degrees of "doopiness". For example, pages may be 100% alike or only 50% alike or even 1% alike, maybe only sharing a popular quote.

Therefore, how much in common makes a dupe?

You'll need to consider these points as you follow some of the strategies below...

Sidenote: Mess around with Updatez to compare pages, as it has a "sensitivty" function that is used to detect updates. In reality, this is really just a "reverse doop detector". It's up to you to set the "sensitivity" and the SEs probably have a similar "knob" they can adjust to deal with doop content, tweaking it here and there to try to maximize how effectively they deal with doops.
