    To be honest after reading that I have more questions than answers about how that system worked.

    I did find this particularly Interesting.

    End quote.

    Thanks for the share thats well worth a read. I'll be looking into that tool more closely for sure

    I think Google is doing a good job in punishing the websites having duplicate content. But sometimes the algorithm may mistakenly direct a URL which we don't want to. This new tool may help webmasters to reduce such incidences.

    Thanks for the Share

    Well worth to read. Thanks for sharing this. If this works well, it has the potential to catch some significant problems, and including it within webmaster controls was a great idea.
