question regarding duplicate penalty/filter

[franc8]

Hello,
I'm interested in BlogProfitz. Just wondering how you would get around the duplicate penalty or filter, since the content/posts are not going to be original. Is there a way to edit the posts before they go live? Thanks.

You can edit posts before they get published. However, the duplicate content issue is pretty unclear.

There are different opinions about what exactly is duplcate and harmful. Have a look at this post and the links inside it: http://halfagain.com/forum/rssmagician/duplicate-content-issue/msg10065/#msg10065

What i know for sure is that i have 2 websites with front page almost word by word duplicate, and they both rank in first page on google for more keywords, for a pretty competitive market (over 15.000.000 results)
