Hello Cyberprofit,
Thanks for the advice. I have completely re-written one of the posts in question and deleted the other post with duplicate content. Many of the articles in my web site I submitted to Ezine Articles, and I think Google is penalizing me f.or duplicate content with my web site. If I submit articles to Ezine Articles in the future I plan on only o submitting unique content - not articles already posted on my web site. Live and learn
