Hello Katren,

Yeah Google will penalize our website if we have duplicate content in our website.I think If we have content that either completely match with other website content or mostly similar to them then Google will consider it as a duplicate content.

Yes, you're right. we can learn a lot from this source. Actually, Google updated the Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines on July 2018. After that, recently Google has announced and published a revised version of a 164-page set of guidelines to help the human ‘quality raters‘ to evaluate the online content and provide the feedback to Google. The revised version of the guidelines giving us more details about the content creator expertise, interstitial pages and “E-A-T” (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) within “Page Quality” in particular sections.I have spent my time to read this and got to know many new things which I never heard before,like the type of contents, quality and etc.
