    Hi,

    I have 2 questions...

    1. If I have a lot of landing pages built for specific campaigns, keywords, etc... But I am using a "regular" business type website with a menu, etc.... Should I just have a sitemap that links to all the pages? What I am getting at here is that I dont want a gazillion items on the navigation menu... I just want the Main pages. So, how do you guys usually handle all the other pages that are informational, etc... I will also be linking to them from within my own content of my main pages... BUT... Is it a problem that a person might google their way to my site, and one of those pages without a menu link... and then need to be able to get back there again??? Does that make any sense? (I realize this one is as much a design question as much as it is a SEO question... So which ever perspective you have is fine with me.... I want both actually).

    2. I went in with a group of people who all designed a website and the content together... some of the content will be changed slightly as it is... but much of our content is exactly the same, word for word.... I am only talking about 8-10 pages of the site... the main pages mentioned above... I will be adding a great deal of content in those landing pages I was talking about above.... but for those that are exactly the same... Is that a problem? Is that something google will use to think "bad" of my site or those pages?

    Thanks for your help!
