Should you use please in technical writing?
The fact that you're asking a user to do something doesn't necessarily mean you must use “please”. In fact, including “please” in your text can have a negative impact, adding length to copy, making your brand seem to lack confidence, and wasting valuable opportunities to really, truly inspire action.
Can you have duplicate content on the same website?
Internal duplicate content is when one domain creates duplicate content through multiple internal URLs (on the same website). External duplicate content, also known as cross-domain duplicates, occurs when two or more different domains have the same page copy indexed by the search engines.
Does duplicate content hurt SEO?
In general, Google doesn't want to rank pages with duplicate content. In fact, Google states that: “Google tries hard to index and show pages with distinct information”. So if you have pages on your site WITHOUT distinct information, it can hurt your search engine rankings.
