Whitey,

Just repeating does a snippet of unique text on one of your pages produce a No1 position. Don't worry about keyword phrases - i want a sense of how your site pages may be filtered. Some more questions. What % approx of your meta description is unique? Are you using feeds for content? If so, are those feeds linked from you and/or vice versa?

A search for one of my page titles comes up #1. A search for a line of content deep within the page, in quotes, comes up #1 - EXCEPT - in that result Google displays in the snippet for that page the beginning of the MENU! I have not seen that before.

All pages have 100% unique meta descriptions (I use a snippet of pertinant text from the content of the page).

Yes, my main page (only) has a rss news feed at the bottom of the page. No feeds on the other 1599 pages.

I must go back to that result (just mentioned above) where Google is displaying text from the site menu as the snippet in the results! - the page has good meta description and content why would Google display menu?

Something is wrong there! As I have said before Google has been spidering the site heavily every day now for 8 out of the last 10 days. IF Google is now seeing the menu as part of the content on the page - THIS would sure make my pages look like duplicates.

I have to look into this more!
