"large template based sites" means that every page has a certain amount of html that is exactly the same. No matter how much different each page is it starts off with most of the pages looking almost the same. Every page has the same header and footer.

A lot of people make a site template that is blank then every new page starts with this template. Some templates are quite elaberate with tons of code. If you use a template try to keep the code as small as possible. CSS is the best way to do this if you wnat a fancy looking page.

If your template is 75K and all you do is add 5K of content to each new page then G thinks that your pages only has about 6% difference from each other.
