      Hi,

      I used this tool to test some domains. The tool can be found at

      http://www.virante.com/seo-tools/duplicate-content

      I have no questions about the other checks but with the similarity check.

      My question is how do i get Google not to omit some entries very similar to the top 1000 pages on my site?

      Will appreciate your answers, thanks.

        You would need to change the content enough to where it was not seen as a duplication of the original information. You need to think of users and ask if they read the first article, what would make them want to read the second article?

        If you are trying to reword the article for search engines, you are in the wrong mindset. Think of your readers.

          Thank you for your contribution Ryan

          I am quite aware of writing for readers and always putting them first in everything beside that's what the search engines are interested in isn't in? I mean the readers finding quality relevant content through their engines.

          What i am interesting after satisfying the first and primary part is optimizing the content for search engines, isn't that what SEO is all about? If most are providing quality content, all still have to compete for the limited top positions available isn't it?

          Thank you for the feedback, will appreciate any other contribution.

            I am trying to be helpful here. Your original question did not mention anything related to optimizing content. It sounds a whole lot more like you want to manipulate search engines into indexing your duplicate content. I've re-read your question a couple times and that is the only way I am able to interpret your question.

            There is not a hard rule in that regard. Google will examine the percentage of duplicate content. They will understand rewording of the same content and view it as a duplication. You need to make the second page truly unique. The best suggestion I can offer is ask a second person to write a page on the same topic without allowing them to see the first page.

            You can ask 5 people to write an article on the "Ford Mustang" and you can receive 5 completely different, unique articles. One could focus on resale value, another on the history of the mustang, another on racing, etc.

            If you ask one person to reword the same article so it can be indexed a second time, you wont be happy with the results. Even if you do manage to get it indexed, you are one Panda update away from posting the famous "why did my rankings drop" question.
