Search engines detect if pages on your site are identical. Resist the temptation or risk their wrath.
Search engines have become more adept at discovering web pages that are identical, especially when they within the same website.
The value of a website is measured partly by the sheer mass of content within a website. One could be forgiven for thinking that by duplicating a few pages, one could "bulk up" the content.
Not so.
It is obviously OK to link to the same page from two different places on the same website - search engines correctly count the destination page as a single page - but duplicating the page is not considered to be good practice and should be avoided.
