I’ve been searching the forum and found any info about a question. I know that Google penalizes organic rankings for duplicate content. We have a main site that we are working to build for SEO (we use index/follow tags). At the same time, I have several AdWords minisites that I use that have duplicate content of the main site (landing pages are modified a bit according to AdWords keywords). For these types of AdWords minsites, I’m wondering what would be the best index/follow tag to use? I don’t want the duplicate content on the minisites to compete/pentalize our main site, but I also want the AdWords spiders to make full use of them (to keep my AdWords Landing page quality score up, etc). Is it suggested to use noindex/follow on these minisites so that the AdWords will like them, but the Search Engines won’t try to index them and see them as duplicate content? Or is it safe to use noindex/nofollow so that the engines will see that we are not trying to create duplicate sites, but will this tag still be safe to use with AdWords. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

No they don't, simply filter it out.

What's that go to do with SEO?

Use robots.txt to block googlebot from the landing pages.

The "quality score" bot has a different UserAgent to googlebot,
