Yahoo Search Engine Filter
Yahoo has a similar approach to Google. When a query is performed by Yahoo the duplicate content is going to be removed. They also look at the crawling information and index stage. The query is completed when a real time search by a user is done. Yahoo wants to get rid of content as soon as it is found and before the user sees it.
Microsoft Live has also added to their search engine. They are being very aggressive in their search for duplicate content, to the point of launching a new scheme at the end of 2007. This new filter allows for the duplicate content to be found faster. Instead of being similar to Google Microsoft will completely remove the duplicate content from the index. While Google still allows the index view at a side bar.
Microsoft will allow only one copy of an article and will not allow the visitor to see the other copies. If MSNbot does find the duplicate content the page ranking will also take a severe downturn. With this being the case anyone with a website needs to be extremely careful if they have duplicate content or more than one website.
