I am afraid you are very much mistaken on both counts. I have dealt with the duplicate content problem many times and it is very clear that it exists. No doubt about it.

The sandbox, too, exists, but only comes into play when you are obtaining large numbers of poor quality inbound, particularly exchanged, links.

Duplicate content is not an issue what Matt Cutts has stated in SES NYC 2006
Quote:
Google Not prepared, but informal remarks. High order nits: what do people worry about? He often finds that honest webmasters worry about dupe content when they don’t need to. G tries to always return the “best” version of a page. Some people are less conscious. The person claimed he was having problems with dupe content and not appearing in both G and Y. Turns out he had 2500 domains. A lot of people ask about articles split into parts and then printable versions. Do not worry about G penalizing for this. Different top level domains: if you own a .com and a.fr, for example, don’t worry about dupe content in this case. General rule of thumb: think of SE’s as a sort of a hyperactive 4 year old kid that is smart in some ways and not so in others: use KISS rule and keep it simple. Pick a preferred host and stick with it…such as domain.com or www.domain.com.

Jawa - take this actual case which I dealt with recently:-

Client has around 150 pages with details of a certain type of firm in the local area, each page contains the 5 or 6 in the town, and then had the same 800 word article about that industry. Due to the fact that the duplicate part (the article) was frequently 4-5 times longer than the differing content (the addresses and details) many pages failed to show up in Google unless 'similar pages' were shown. I shortened the article to make four different articles of about 200 words and shared them around randomly with each page. Unsurprisingly all pages were fully indexed and showing in results.

Search engine don't care whether your content is 800 words or less or has certain content that similar. All page in website can be fully index but it not neccessary appear in Google serp for your targetted keyword if that page do not have link point to it.

Let's look at Brad Fallon site myweddingfavors.com, eventhough his site has similar content at the bottom ( if you meant by this) -

All of his site page has this sentences, but still his site dominate top ranking for his targetted keyword that is keyword in the menu navigation.

Google has no problem to list & index duplicate content but nobody know whether they will panalize the page. Bear in mind that duplicate content doesn't mean exact html code which could be a big problem.

For Google sandbox, it DOES exist.

If you believe Google sandbox exist than stick to it.

I'm not believe it anymore cause after reading Veo report and apply it, my one month site is getting better ranking for my targetted keyword in Google.

personally i don't believe in that myth either, just before i read this thread i received this week's Axandra Search Engine Facts (provided by axandra.com, i just noticed somehow they have 0 page rank, i guess google banned them, they have thousands of backlinks on yahoo search) discussing about the myth.

the short article basically pointed out - if there's such penalty, why are those news sites still rank high while they all do share the same unedited articles from AP or Reuters? Samples

Wahhh.... pening! It seems that we're like orang blind dari lahir trying to know how is Erra Fazira face...

Can any one paste a genuine links pro and cont regarding this? Or we create a team (webmaster) to test it out by using multiple web page with duplicate contents to see the result..

What do u think?
