Ink's got some serious problems right now. SLURP Can't spider dynamic links worth a hoot right now and then INK will penalize your site (thinking you have duplicate content) for their own mistake. Ah.... the justification of knowing that I am not losing my mind. Looks like we ARE in fact correct: The evidence continues to mount. It appears to be an Ink filter on dupe content for PFI pages (and probably some other filters). I know that PT and some of the other PFI providers (and probably even INK) watch this thread. I would like to suggest something: Often times, your customers do know things that you don't and we can really help you if you actually listen to what we tell you. We are on the front lines and we watch the SERPS very closely. Simply telling us that "your page is obviously indexed, because if you type in originurl:http://www.mysitehere.com you can see it..." is rather insulting to those webmaster who do business with you and know better. PT has indicated that they really do want to get to the bottom of it. Time will tell if they prevail. I'm hoping that they can get INK to pay attention and fix whatever it is that they've broken. Here's to hoping. IMHO, they'd be insane to roll out this product to Yahoo in it's current condition.
Edouard_H - Thanks so much for posting! There must be hundreds, even thousands of us out here who are ripping our hair out. I'm feeling so vindicated right now. When this thread first started there were only a few of us seeing problems... now some others are coming out of the woodwork!
