Same content repeated twice on same page.

Do i have to worry about duplicate content?

Hi all,

I have created a forum for my site myself in ASP.

When someone posts an answer to a particular question on the forum, i let other people vote on the helpfulness of that answers.

So, each question page has 2 tabs one for all answers, the other for the answers sorted by the number of votes it got. I am handling the tabs using javascript.

Now, finally, here is my question.... When i look at the page in Lynx (text-only web browser the way Google bot sees the page), it seems that the answers are first presented in the all answers way and then presented in the sort by most votes way.

So, the same content is repeated on the page twice! Do I have to worry about duplicate content problems because of this?

Thanks.

I just realized that all these pages with the same content repeated twice on the same page, are supplemental in the google index. So, i removed the repeated content.

How long do you think it will take for me to get out of the supplemental index?

why not on one of the repeded comments add a no follow tag this will keep it form being indexed twice and u can keep the page as was or a if they are in different folders and I assume the are add to robots to dissalow one of the folders then the dup content will not be an issue
