    Question vbCMS Articles decreasing my Google ranking because of duplicate content!?

    I was reading some article about SEO, and it just struck me, am I making a HUGE mistake!?

    I do a lot of "Promote to article" threads and posts, where I'm practically copying them in vbCMS and making a duplicate content, right? Unfortunately this is something which I didn't pay attention at in the past, and now it started bothering me a lot especially when when I started reading a lot of discussions about that on the vbulletin.com and here.

    I have also noticed that my Google ranking decreased, I was number 2 or 3 (sometimes even number 1) and now I'm number 4 on google.com, and what is even worse I'm number 6 at Google.rs (local Google site). (keyword is "satovi")
    Another question is how to have evenly good results accros Google.com and Google.rs?

    Please advise what should I do in this case in order to decrease the impact of duplicate content?

    vbCMS in a link in mainmenu: Satovi - Svet Satova - Satovi
    Forum is also a link in mainmenu: Satovi - Svet Satova

    Example of the recent article:
    vbCMS: Satovi - Svet Satova - Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Striking 10th El Ávila sat

    Forum: Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Striking 10th El Ávila sat

    Thanks in advance!

    I know that they don't have any solution for this, but I thought you might give me some advice on how to overcome this issue. There was some discussion about that already, but I didn't find any concrete solution which I would really appreciate.

    Thanks in advance!

    I understand this, but please tell me in your opinion, can this have some significant impact on Google rating?
    I posted my question in this topic: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...licate-Content

    But as you can see Zachery answered in that thread that this is not duplicate content, which I'm not sure about. Can I at least get your view on this?
    I just need to know the truth, then I can start thinking what to do next.

    Thanks!

    You can simply disable guests to see the comment section. Other than that there is nothing you can do expect using a third party script like wordpress

    Thanks for your response, I will try to do that.
    Just please clarify, are we talking here about duplicate content or is it something in between?
