Duplicate page content
The exact percentage is hard to say - I think we use 90-95%, but it depends on the content (ads vs. template vs. unique copy, etc.). I think the aspect that probably confuses most people is that Google doesn't care about duplicate pages, in the sense of physical files on your server. They care about URLs. So, if your home-page can be reached (and is linked to) at: http://www.example.com http://example.com https://www.example.com http://www.example.com/index.html ...and Google crawls/indexes all of these, they could look like duplicates. Any specific case can get tricky fast, to be honest. I have a mega-post about the subject here: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/duplicate-content-in-a-post-panda-world

Duplicate Page Title
Your questions a little hard to answer without a link to the site to see the problem in action, however <title>tags appear in the <head> section of your document, generally near the top of the code.</p> <p>The title for "This is the title" appears as so in the code:</p> <pre><code><head> <br /> <title>This is the title</title> You can also read up more on title tags: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/title-tag However without a live example, and without knowing what content management system (CMS) or framework you are using, it's difficult to tell you the exact solution step by step.

Too many links on the same page
So just a quick fyi, when you responded to my question, everyone else can see it. You don't have to put it under each response. If it is really beneficial to your users, DO NOT eliminate it. As far as stopping the crawlers from seeing it, that may be worth a try to see if it helps or not. That is done using a robots.txt file. If I were you before I blocked those pages with the robots.txt file, I would want to be 100% positive that all those number of links were having a negative effect on your site and that they aren't just being ignored. Take a look at this article: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-many-links-is-too-many it is a little old, but still very relevant in your situation.
