### Type 3 Backlinks: Content Origin Types 3(a) Original A link placed within content that was written exclusively for and published on that particular site. The highest-value type in this bucket — unique editorial content signals genuine editorial endorsement. 3(b) Duplicate A link within content that has been published in identical or near-identical form across multiple sites. Google may discount or devalue these links due to duplicate content signals. 3(c) Republished A link within content that was originally published elsewhere and then legitimately republished with attribution (e.g., syndication). These can still pass value depending on the republishing site's authority and the syndication relationship. 3(d) Scraper A link within content that has been scraped (copied without permission) from another site. Generally considered low quality or toxic — Google often ignores or discounts links from known scraper sites. ### Related Episodes in This Series - Type 1 Backlinks (S03E06): https://youtu.be/Z_2FeHjvDXY - Type 2 Backlinks (S03E07): https://youtu.be/ZDq9jZxK0lk
