Well I am back to my blog(s) after the holidays and I am waiting the page rank update. Is a fact the people are going crazy when is about page rank and page rank updates so if you are a webmaster I am pretty sure that you know what is this about, if you don’t know a thing about that you can read on wiki here.
Anyway you can always check your page rank on www.iwebtool.com/sourcer.org or www.digpagerank.com and you can be sure that is the truth and not an other gossip.

Every webmaster is worried about the duplicate content issue. Before you start ask some question you should read what Google has to say about this problem. Google also provides on their blog some tips & tricks to be sure that your content won’t be detected as duplicate content.
What is duplicate content?
Duplicate content generally refers to substantive blocks of content within or across domains that either completely match other content or are appreciably similar. Most of the time when we see this, it’s unintentional or at least not malicious in origin: forums that generate both regular and stripped-down mobile-targeted pages, store items shown (and — worse yet — linked) via multiple distinct URLs, and so on. In some cases, content is duplicated across domains in an attempt to manipulate search engine rankings or garner more traffic via popular or long-tail queries.What isn’t duplicate content?
Though we do offer a handy translation utility, our algorithms won’t view the same article written in English and Spanish as duplicate content. Similarly, you shouldn’t worry about occasional snippets (quotes and otherwise) being flagged as duplicate content.Why does Google care about duplicate content?
Our users typically want to see a diverse cross-section of unique content when they do searches. In contrast, they’re understandably annoyed when they see substantially the same content within a set of search results. Also, webmasters become sad when we show a complex URL (example.com/contentredir?value=shorty-georgeā©=en) instead of the pretty URL they prefer (example.com/en/shorty-george.htm).What does Google do about it?
During our crawling and when serving search results, we try hard to index and show pages with distinct information. This filtering means, for instance, that if your site has articles in “regular” and “printer” versions and neither set is blocked in robots.txt or via a noindex meta tag, we’ll choose one version to list. In the rare cases in which we perceive that duplicate content may be shown with intent to manipulate our rankings and deceive our users, we’ll also make appropriate adjustments in the indexing and ranking of the sites involved. However, we prefer to focus on filtering rather than ranking adjustments … so in the vast majority of cases, the worst thing that’ll befall webmasters is to see the “less desired” version of a page shown in our index.
