which pages should be "noindex"

I'd just no follow those pages if they are duplicate. Side note, make sure you make an xml sitemap and an html sitemap

I have the same question too! Thanks for giving me this idea because I also use free privacy and just copy the dcma on other sites

I think I should noindex that pages.

Danb12,

If there is some other reason you do not want these pages indexed it would be fine to block them however you don’t have to worry about being penalized. Google and other search engines don’t “penalize” websites for duplicate content per se. The problem comes when a search engine does not know which content to index because there are duplicates. The drawback here is that a site may have a page that it wants indexed and a duplicate (or a page that’s at least very similar) gets indexed over it. The pages you are talking about may not be that big of a deal because you are thinking of excluding them from the index anyway. All you really need to do is include a rel=canonical tag in the head of your HTML page so Google and other engines know the correct page to index.

Of course you can also exclude the pages with the robots file however you will not be penalized if you don’t.
