      I have a question about duplicate content. (auto generated text).
      Will google consider page 1 and page 2 as duplicate content?

      Page 1.

      You will find all the Amazon coupon codes and Amazon discount codes currently available listed below, if Amazon doesn't currently have any coupons available you may want to check for Amazon deals or find related coupon codes or promotional codes for similar online stores selling the same products as amazon.
      We always have the latest coupon codes for Amazon which are updated daily, so if you can't find any Amazon coupons here then you won't find them anywhere else.
      Shop online today at Amazon, and take advantage of the coupon codes that Amazon currently has on offer, these coupon codes, offer codes, and promo codes for Amazon may never be available again.

      Page 2.

      You will find all the Target coupon codes and Target discount codes currently available listed below, if Target doesn't currently have any coupons available you may want to check for Target deals or find related coupon codes or promotional codes for similar online stores selling the same products as Target.
      We always have the latest coupon codes for Target which are updated daily, so if you can't find any Target coupons here then you won't find them anywhere else.
      Shop online today at Target, and take advantage of the coupon codes that Target currently has on offer, these coupon codes, offer codes, and promo codes for Target may never be available again.

        The answer is a big, fat, juicy, YES.  That is the epitome of duplicate content.

        You need to write the content completely unique from the other page.  You cannot trick Google.  The Panda will bite you hard 🙂

          Thanks Philip,

          So I need to get rid of this kind of text ( it was an example )
          Each page with unique 300 words will be fine in google's eyes?

          After the text is removed is there any chance to recover from Panda?

          What about Page title and page meta description.

            If you have 300 words on each page, as long as it's useful content that people are sticking around to read, then you should be okay.  Your end goal should be to provide value to your visitors.  If 300 words is plenty of content for the subject of your pages, then you're okay.  If you have a blog about quantum physics and you only write 300 words per page... you might not be so okay anymore 🙂

            After the text is removed is there any chance to recover from Panda? If your site is penalized by Panda, and you make adjustments to fix the issues you were once penalized for, yes, you can certainly recover.  It's possible that duplicate content isn't your only issue, and there may be more to fix.  Again, this is assuming you're penalized by Panda.  I found a really good post about Panda recovery a couple weeks ago.  Lucky for you, I bookmarked it!  http://www.ventureharbour.com/panda-recovery-a-guide-to-recovering-googles-panda-update/

            What about Page title and page meta description? I wouldn't personally write my titles and meta descriptions like that.  It is probably a good idea to vary them up and make them a bit more unique from one another.  If I'm being totally honest, I think your example title tags might work for Google.  That would be up to you though if you're willing to take that chance.  If everything else on your site is fantastic, and your only issue is those types of title tags, I really don't think Google would give you a problem.  Either way, the best thing to do (obviously) is make them more unique.  I'm not a personal fan of them being too similar, but I have seen it done like that on a site before and the pages ranked just fine (they were pretty low competition keywords though).  Edit: This is the only question I'm not that sure about... your examples might be okay, but I don't want to give you bad advice.

            This is my second question on MOZ 🙂 and your answered both of them. 🙂
            Hooray!  I hope I'm helping you out 🙂  I've made it a goal of mine to make it to the top 50 in Moz Points before the end of 2014.
