    Today, when I checked the webmasters account, i saw that under the Diagnostics > Content Analysis, the following lines appeared:

    Duplicate meta descriptions 1,013
    Duplicate title tags 1,015

    I checked it and it seems that Google is indexing my webpages and their cached pages also. I have a directory named /cache/ which holds the cached html version of every page in this website along with the .gz version. Google seems to find this duplicated and i really don't know if it will become a problem.

    So, what should I do...restrict G's access to /cache/ via robots.txt with dissalow..or?

    ofc you can use robots.txt...and its advisable...it will not affect your site serving to your users, it will only tell Google to stay out of the subfolders you specify
