SEO duplicate contents question: Are site listings considered duplicated contents?

[Rittu]

My goal is to build on the local bowling spots all over the world. If I copy / paste a short descriptive paragraphs on their websites, and add them to my site, this can be considered duplicated contents. In fact, the whole website will just copy / paste the contents of the collection. What would be the implication of my Page Rank.

Copied content of your website will be harmful for you. Make you own unique content. Never do copy and past content or titles or descriptions of your site.

How long would it take to rewrite this short description? If you are really worried about your page rank and possible Google penalties, it would be worth your time. Why risk everything over a little matter of convenience.

If you put the source of the contents on your website it won't be treated as duplicate content issue. Duplicate content with proper source mentioned will cause harm to your website and restrict from ranking keywords in search results.
