In terms of "turning a blind eye" as you put it, not sure if this is the case. The core problem of duplicate content is the split of link equity - your site doesn't get penalised as such, you're just shooting yourself in the foot in terms of your internal link juice flow. I've seen this first hand for big brand sites and the improvements that fixing such an issue bring. I think what you may be seeing in terms of big trusted sites seemingly overcoming duplicate content issues is that the sheer strength of their domain can still help a page rank, even without being fully optimal. Trust comes with time and with high quality links from authority sites. Hi James. In terms of “turning a blind eye” as you put it, not sure if this is the case.

If there is anyone who knows what angles to take or steps, that could take a site towards this goal, then please leave a message.

Apparently, Google treats trusted sites in a different way to new site. If say Nike decided to produce duplicate content on their sites, Google would 'turn a blind eye'. I dont fully understand the in's and out's at the moment, but it is something i am looking into. If there is anyone who knows more about this, could you let me know. Also, if you are looking to improve your SEO, why not try adding a booksmark add-on. You can get them from addthis.com. - Worth a try.

If you do too much of one thing to optimise your site, that then runs the risk of diluting your entire site with respect to rankings. However, if you are very careful, you can achieve very successful results. Where do you draw the line with Optimisation? The trouble with SEO and Google, is that you\’re forever playing catchup.
