I totally agree with you on this one Nick.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

One dimension of duplicate content I have seen loads of, often conflicting, thoughts and advice on is content that is duplicated across various websites/blogs/etc.

For instance, a post may be on a blog, that duplicated either word-for-word or pretty close to it, on another blog, on a site like ezinearticles.com or on another website.

Apart from examples like a recent one where the Social Media Examiner guy placed one post across various well known blogs and the ethical and relationship management issues this raises, does Google penalise you for placing pretty much the same content on different online locations outside of your own blog/website?

One other thought: If you find content that you feel your website visitors will enjoy, post a link to the content from your site instead of reposting the content. The writer of the content will appreciate the link and may in turn be willing to post links to the content on your site.

- http://www.yoursite.com versus yoursite.com

- session ids being added to your basic URLs

- the same page having 2 or more URLs depending on the visitor’s navigation route

Google Webmasters Tools can be very helpful in spotting and dealing with some of this
