    Google does not like duplicate content. If it's one off incident, you can get away with it. But if there's too much internal duplication, it can negatively affect your site quality score in the post-panda world.

    ( Don't forget to check the Google Webmaster Central a/c too for any flags about meta description duplication message )

      Ah ok Nicole...now I wonder about an almost the same description...for example, a description that vary only in the last word, that would make them different and acceptable?

      Example:

      1- A list of the best cars
      2- A list of the best chinese cars

        It'll be seen as dup content by the IR algo, but the best way to verify whether it's indeed flagged by Google is to check the HTML suggestions section of the webmaster tools for duplication descriptions. Cheers.
