We found a great video from Michael Gray where he approaches the Duplicate Content issue and how to build a healthy Site Structure.
Having a healthy Site Structure will include avoiding any duplicate content issues . When the same content is displayed under different URL’s, we would say that the Site is having duplicate content issues which is one of the reasons why many pages of a Site don’t show up in search engine results. For example when the same article in a Blog is displayed under different categories:

One Million Voices United Against FARC (Terrorist Group in Colombia - South América)
A new Facebook group called “A Million Voices Against FARC” has been making headlines in Colombia in the first weeks of 2008. The group was created by Colombian engineer Óscar Morales, out of indignation over the conditions of hostages held by the paramilitary Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Armed Revolutionary Forces of Colombia / Farc).
Its staggering growth-rate - it gathered some 3,000 supporters in the first twenty-four hours, and at the time of writing has 261,236 virtual members - sufficed to encourage Morales to back up this cyber-protest with physical ones on 4 February 2008. This is taking place simultaneously in forty-five Colombian cities and towns, and rallies in solidarity are also scheduled in 115 cities worldwide (sixty in the Americas, forty in Europe, and fifteen in Asia and Oceania).
Kidnapping is the worst of acts against human dignity, and FARC have kidnapped and kept captive thousands of people over the last years, while they keep growing their drug production and drug traffic business, perpetrating all kinds of crimes and terrorist attacks against people, bringing poverty and misery to our country, which has suffered this plague and humanitarian tragedy for more than forty years now.
Colombia, Colombians, friends from all over the world, let’s unite to shout loudly:
NO MORE!
NO MORE KIDNAPPING!
NO MORE LIES!
NO MORE MURDER!
NO MORE FARC!
Let’s commit ourselves to join a million voices in this group so we can make a difference, and let the entire world know that we don’t need that “People’s Army” here in Colombia; that FARC is a terrorist group, led by murderers and enemies of the Colombian and World’s People. This is a cause beyond all political interests or colors. It’s a humanitarian cause, encouraged by a simple sense of solidarity, for the sake and welfare of our citizens.”
So if you want to support this cause join the group at Facebook:(Un millón de voces contra las Farc - Colombia):
