Offcourse I have been totally slaughtered at DP, some even went as far as calling me “Nazi”  for making such a small list, it’s not my fault the list is small and I am very permissive, if I only accept 100% copyscape tested sites the list would go to 2-3.
If search engines tight the duplicated content filter a loot of pages will go supplemental or even lose cache, people don’t seen to understand this. |
So, run your copyscape on what John calls
quality listings

Contains the following outbound links, with the following

http://www.edealsuk.com/ - PR4
http://www.pricegrabber.com/ - PR8
http://wwww.shopping.com/ - PR8
http://www.uksave.net/ - PR5
and see if they have content that has been duplicated, and then ! ask ! yourself (pun intended) what are you trying to say? You are better than John Scott and v7n? Are you now trying to put into question John's quality based decisions and concepts vs your own?
