duplicate blog content and search engines

[ronnie]

It seems for single posts, even if a provided or imported feed is used to post, by the nature of blogs, so many different theme's and set ups, duplicate content would be lower right off the bat, from blog to blog.

It would also depend the amount of the content. A paragraph in a single post on one blog should not be as much a duplication as the same content on another blog. The pages should not be as similar.

It would also depend on how much content is on the page from the blog itself, besides the posted content. Not counting code.

Now if you talking a page or so, there is more of the same "content", the overall page would be much more similar.

If any of that makes sense. Just my thoughts and guesses..

For people who just don't want to write or can not or have a hard time with it, and it's not just mass production, you could always re-write provided content.

I agree with all of your points except this one. I forget exactly what they are called but the places you can write and submit articles to have had duplicate content issues long before I ever heard of it with blogs. They have a some what similar make up to a blog as in a main content area and then sidebar area's.
