Will having a “Include File” on every page hit you with a duplicate content penalty?

I never new that, if it makes that much differance, that is probably why that even with a sitemap I’m only getting about 20% of my pages indexed!
BIG thanks again:woo-hoo: :bigsmile:

I want to re-iterate, though…

On my end, the duplication was a whopping 75%. That means that 75% of my pages were identical. This was also identical content, not just menus. My ‘lowerpageindex.html’ was optimized content and was located on every page. Once Yahoo noticed that, I got removed except for 1 page.

After creating content in that location, my pages were nearing 20% similarity and mostly in menuing. After that, there were no problems and Yahoo re-indexed my pages.

I hope that helps and gets rid of any confusion and worry. <span title=” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />
