I double dare you!

I'm really looking foreward to this debate!

Not trying to be rude or anything but could we start a new thread for that. I have an idea for a project and a coder who can do it for me but am trying to figure out if the negatives outweigh the positives for this one. No matter what I can see people using it but I would feel like crap if it harmed thier sites/rankings.

I appreciate both opinions as always I just dont want a heated debate when I am trying to figure this out

And it took me all of 35 seconds to "prove it".

Duplicate content penalties are obvious, common and death sentences, but the subtlety of near duplicate or partial duplicate are not so easy to see. kaus, if you have an idea for some text to appear on many pages, you could put it in a graphic and then not worry about duplicate content.

We can't really help you if you don't tell us what the idea is. You are smart, yet yourself not sure and you know exactly the idea so how would we know the correct answer?

Thanks Kyle...I tried to give an example as best as I could without giving it away completely. I may just develop it and test it out to see what happens, before I offer it to anyone.

Thanks guys
