    Got a query regarding duplicate content, how similar does a page have to be to be classed as duplicate content? I have info pages on products through different models of cars. These pages are identical in structure as its the type of information, just for different car types. I used a duplicate checker website and got the following results:

    HTML fingerprint: 100%
    HTML distribution value: 99.18%
    Total HTML similarity: 99.59%
    Standard text similarity: 79.86%
    Smart text similarity: 61.72%
    Total text similarity: 70.79%


    As you can see it has picked up that the page structure is the same, but the text is only similar. Do you think this would be classed as duplicate content?

    The problem is i am talking about the same products in each page, just on different cars, so there is always going to be similar content, just don't want to get penilised for it.
