Will merging sites create a duplicate content penalty?
I have 2 sites that would be better suited being merged and creating a more authoritative site. Basically I'de like to merge site A in to site B. If I add new pages from site A to Site B and create 301 redirects for those pages on site A to the new pages on Site B is that the best way to go about it? As the pages are already indexed would this create any duplicate content issue or would the redirect solve this?

RE: How do I know if I have been hit with a Google penalty
Have you tried checking what pages you have cached in Google? search site:yourdomain.com and see what results come up. This should give you a good idea if your site is indexed ok. Also check your robots.txt isn't set to no follow.

RE: How to know if a website is worth putting a link on?
Chris has given some great advice there. As a side I'd also recommend checking the site you are linking from doesn't come from a 'bad neighbourhood' and have lots of spammy links pointing to it. You can do this by checking on opensiteexplorer and checking the of quality external links and that they themselves also come from a relating category/niche.

RE: Is un-searched content worth writing?
In my opinion most definitely. I think I remember reading that up to 80% of searched per month have never been recorded before. This means that there's nothing to say your content won't be searched for in future. I'd also say that by creating this content you are building an authoritative presence that can help in with your internal link structure to enhance rankings for other pages that may contain more popular search term and aslo link juice to any other sites you may own.
