Say I have a couple of paragraphs that are identical.
I place these identical paragraphs on several different page of the same website. Other than these specific paragraphs, everything else on each pages is different.
How will the engines judge that?
Will they consider these duplicaste paragraphs as valid content?

I really don't have a good answer for this one. How many words long is the paragraph and where is it located on the page? Top of the page, navigation area, bottom of the page, integrated in the middle content area?

It is a disclaimer about 50 words located at the bottom of the page?

Oh, I don't think that will hurt you at all. Lots of sites have things like that. Go ahead and put it there. Smiling
