There are two main types of duplicate content often found: True duplicates and near duplicates.

True Duplicates:

Imagine copying an entire paragraph and pasting it somewhere else – that’s a true duplicate. It’s the same text, word for word, whether it's on one website or across different ones. This could happen by mistake or when someone copies your content without permission.

Near Duplicates:

These are like twins who dress alike but not exactly the same. They're very similar content pieces with tiny differences. Take, for instance, a product description that only changes the color name for different options – that’s a near duplicate.
