I've got another question. I'm cleaning up my site after my google smack down on the 14th. I know one of the largest components of panda is the elimination of duplicate content.

So is this duplicate content...

Lets say I have a blog post I wrote to cover a promotional offer from widget company A, something like

mysite.com/company-A-Promotional-Offer/

then I've tagged the post with company A, which has the URL

mysite.com/tag/company-A/

Since this is the first time I have ever tagged company A, the content on both of these pages will be identical...that is until I tag company A again.

Do I need to eliminate this tactic?

Also, in my google/webmaster tools, google notifies me occasionally that I have duplicate content with this same method even if the tag is filled with different posts? Sometimes the URL structure is very similar (off by two words or so) but they serve completely different purposes. Do I need to watch out for this too with Panda?
