I have put my site in copyscape.com for a full duplicate content check...
there are 2 pages duplicate... oops I remember those... the legal policy I was bored to write and sorry sorry got too much from other sites but my fault... i was just too lazy for that page...
then you small things.... but over all it is no more than 5% to 10% or even less...

should I be worry ?

How much does the content that you've found contribute to the page? Is it 10% of the page? 15%? More?
I ask because there appears to be a threshold, an invisible line in the sand if you will, that will tell the SEOMoz crawler and the Google bot. Some duplicate content is always to be expected - after all site navigations are replicated on every page. With my current client as well, we need to have a risk warning and an FSA disclaimer on each page of our website for legal reasons. We've not been flagged for duplicate content because we add as much rich and unique content to the page as possible. So you have some degree of leniency.
If the duplicate content takes up most of the content on the page and the crawler hasn't flagged it, it may not have been able to find it. In this case, fix the duplicate content issue ASAP, but then look at your site architecture to see if a crawler could easily access the page in less than 5 steps/links - and check your source code to see if there's any meta data blocking crawlers in the header and also in your robots.txt file.
Hope this helps!

it is the index page of the site

It could well be that one of the pages on which the duplicate content exists has a NoIndex tag - have you checked that? That way it wouldn't be picked up by search engines.
Or, is one of the pages simply low down the webpage food chain and not being picked up at all?

I have an issue with hubspot's blog platform and duplicate content.
It is redirecting all https to http and I am unable to change it, resulting in a lot of duplicate content. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, did you find a solution? Or does anyone have any suggestions?

Pages are shown as duplicate content when they have no content the same apart from the template. But it only happens with a few products and we have well over 100 products for sale. An example would be these which are seen as duplicate content.

How to resolve Duplicate Content crawl errors for Magento Login Page
I am using the Magento shopping cart, and 99% of my duplicate content errors come from the login page. The URL looks like: http://www.site.com/customer/account/login/referer/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tbW1zcGVjaW9zYS5jb20vcmV2aWV3L3Byb2R1Y3QvbGlzdC9pZC8xOTYvY2F0ZWdvcnkvNC8jcmV2aWV3LWZvcm0%2C/ Or, the same url but with the long string different from the one above. This link is available at the top of every page in my site, but I have made sure to add "rel=nofollow" as an attribute to the link in every case (it is done easily by modifying the header links template). Is there something else I should be doing? Do I need to try to add canonical to the login page? If so, does anyone know how to do it using XML?
