Are accessible text only pages classed as duplicate content

[bobbot]

Could anyone tell me please what is the current thought on the msn duplicate content filter. I am interested in same site, text only and printer friendly versions of a page, are these classed as duplicate content from the graphic version and if so would the whole site get removed from the index or will one some of the pages remain and the others get filtered.
MSN Dude I would love to here from you on this matter please.

Thanks very much

Block those duplicate pages from getting indexed.

I would assume that MSN can recognize duplicates and will merge and purge. Which one stays is a matter of how much power that page has. You should block anything that would be considered a duplicate from getting indexed. No need to take the risk, particularly with Google.

text only and printer friendly

I'll assume that text only and printer friendly are the "same" page? There is no need for both.
