In a perfect world there would be only one version of every document. A good example is online versions of newspaper sites. In one form or another they all publish exactly or close to the same information about events and facts.
This also applies to many other areas, say, recipes, fitness programs, diet programs, definitions, explanations and many others. Search engines can penalize a sites ranking if it looks as though content has been taken from another site. However, these sites do sit in index and even rank very well. How can this be? Does it mean there are no filters?
