Will multiple pages using the eBay Editor Kit be a problem?

[AndyA]

I haven't been able to find an answer for this question anywhere. I'm creating quite a few (100+) pages on my site using the eBay Editor Kit. The page layouts are identical for the most part, although the page titles, meta descriptions, some of the text on the pages, as well as some of the colors on the pages vary.

Since Googlebot only sees the script tag for the eBay Editor Kit, it doesn't know that the pages are indeed quite different when viewed in a browser. There are a few variables in the script tag, which are different for each page, but are these differences enough to keep from activating Google's spam filters?

I don't make a lot of money from these pages, but my site visitors seem to like them. I just don't want to find myself in big trouble down the road because Google thinks I'm playing tricks.

Would the addition of a couple of lines of unique text on each page be helpful in preventing a problem?

Thanks for any information,
Andy

Take any page, strip the html in a text editor, then compare the results. If it is near 90% the same, then it could be seen as being duplicate.

Thanks Brett.

I'm going to keep an eye on the pages and see what happens, I think I might be close to that 90 percent threshold. Since the eBay script generates most of the content for the pages, adding more content to them would not be of much help to anyone visiting the site.
