I know designers are not content managers and it is ultimately up to the company or individual the site is made for to create their own content, but I was wondering how designers went about putting the sites together when they create them.
I know someone who just bought a site from a designer and it took about a day to get it back. It’s obviously a template and while I would never pay for that since you can find free templates all over the web, they didn’t have a problem with it. Well the site was full of content they were quiet pleased with and doing a search on the exact paragraphs yielded more search results than could fit on a single page in Yahoo! and every site had the same word for word as the content of the site.
So each one of these sites were businesses of the same type and they were all operating. Apparently they either don’t know their content is the exact same as their competitors or they don’t care.
So is this designer just scraping like businesses or is there a "search for your business and get all the content you want" site out there with several different types of businesses you can just copy.
I know this isn’t a good idea for your own site because it hurts your page ranks in Yahoo! and Google but is this standard practice for web designers?
