I was on an All-Access Q&A business call this evening and a striking revelation was made by SEO Experts, Ferny Ceballos and Raymond Fong.  They were talking about duplicate content and what Google thinks about it.  They shared that when it comes to duplicate content, as far as Google is concerned, it is only duplicate if it is on the SAME Domain name.  So, you could have the same content in 100 different places around the Web, and it is perfectly fine.  It’s when it is on the same Domain name that it will be counted as duplicate content.

One of the examples that they shared is news articles.  Think about it.  All of the AP News articles are the same exact text.  And there are a ton of sites that carry that exact same AP News article.  Does Google not rank them and show them because they are duplicate content?  No, they show and rank them all because they are coming from DIFFERENT Domain names, so different locations.

Just thought this would be a worthwhile tip to pass on to those that strive to not duplicate content when producing articles for marketing.
