>taking the age of links into account

That's simple, but there can be links pointing to a site that have been around longer, yet specifically it may not have the same age factor as the links to the specific pages in question.

vitaplease, this I'm not familiar with, I must have missed that along the way.

>Usually, having someone else's header, footer and navbar is more than enough.

I'd hope that would be enough, yet a member here lost out on his site totally by someone *taking* his content.

This whole issue of duplicate content, along with questions about multiple domains are almost a constant topic now, and it goes on so it doesn't seem like it's been resolved clearly enough to reach the comfort level for a lot of people.

ciml, a lot is getting by at Google right now, so either they're not as adept at finding it or dealing with it as some would think, or one of these days there will have to be a massive purging.

pete, I hope you find those papers, that would make a very good read right about now.
