duplicate content helps you to block your site through The Google.

@Lyndi: You’re right, and the jury is still out on this subject for me too. In one way it is useful to be able to just tell google that there is duplicate content, rather than worrying about removing it all, but on the other hand it is open to abuse.

I guess this may be a subject to re-visit in a few months

This stuff is all new to me. I will go and find out more. I have to agree with Rarst, I too do not enjoy it when the big guys try to force the rest of us into a certain direction. This is interesting, none the less.

@Rarst: Wow, I have found someone more cynical than me You do make a good point though, will be interesting to see how it goes. I think the self-hosted affiliate links will be the first to be affected.

I am not too fond of such inventions. Google invented nofollow to fight spam and it ended up as tool to police purchased links and screwing natural linking for the sake of SEO.

As one of my readers said to me in GTalk last night – next month will be all about people trying to exploit this new toy.
