anyone have a good site to learn about search engine placement and all that jazz

yeah real helpful

hit me up I'll give ya a run down on SEO 163884884

too funny bro, good example though.

SEO is a very hush hush topic, understandably no one is going to share their knowledge outside what is generally considered common-knowledge. If you are serious about SEO my best advice is read up the general common knowledge, and then rip apart dozens to hundreds of competitors sites at core levels..

Compare and contrast many top placements for your Keywords -> niche -> market -> related markets, then once your full of knowledge, develope your content and linking structures around your knowledge.

SEO is a forever changing concept, if you are planning to ever achieve the top or stay on top, you must educate yourself very thoroughly of where search engine algorithms are, and where they are going

edit: sorry for not answering your question.. Duplicate content is a changing and evolving area, to best understand it, you must understand where search engines are going in the future. No one is going to be able to give you a very accurate density % or anything :Oh crap

what i should of wrote was if i cange the page description, tile and img names but keep the rest of the page in tact would they still consider it duplicate content

If more than 25% of the content is the same... it looks at the sentenses and if they are the same (not similar - but the same)

Word strings and phrases. Although the patterns differ sometimes.

Regardless, this topic does raise the related topic of the IMPORTANCE of fresh, original, relevant, and freshly researched text content. If anyone needs 2000 words of fresh, very readable, professional mainstream text content written daily, contact me.

This is what I've read also
