The page found first wins. PR has *nothing* to do with dupe content.

Brett,
Does this mean you are agreeing with the statement that there is no duplicate page penalty? I've been trying to figure this one out too.

no. I am saying that the 2nd page found will get the downgrade.

Interesting, only a "downgrade"? So many webmasters here talk about dupconpen (my word) as something that wipes your site back to PR 0. Not sayings they or you are right..

If "PR has *nothing* to do with dupe content." then how does a site get penalized for duplicate content?
Thanks for your input.

Maybe I'm missing something here. Isn't a lower PR a downgrade?

I went back through several of the past threads on this subject and it seems that as long as the pages are not exactly the same -- same links, navigations, title headers, footers etc, having duplicate content is not a big issue. I am gathering that Google and the other search engines have a tough time scrutinizing down to the paragraph and sentence levels. If I am wrong, someone please point me in the right direction.

I'm interested in this too. 1. Since I have been thinking about using Wikipedia parts in my articles. 2. Since I have been thinking of syndicating my articles (Not RSS, just regular) on other sites.

Yes, a lower PR would be a downgrade, but there are over a hundred other factors that affect your position in the SERPs. If any one of them gets downgraded, your position in the SERPs could drop. PR is only a single factor amongst many. PR is not the only measure to go by.

I don't think the "first page in wins" situation is ideal, let alone fair. Surely a page with on-topic inbound links would tend to be the best source of information. Older pages would naturally tend to have more links either internally from a growing site or from outside sources. What is the real-life experience?
