Some people make the mistake of treating the internet as an isolation booth, when it is anything but. It is a ginormous room that people are constantly walking in and out of, sharing stories and information. Sure, sometimes you may just quietly hang out and observe, but there are also times you enter the fray to give your opinion, a compliment, or a new perspective. The more you do this, the more complex and vibrant your community will become.

A. If the duplicate content on your site was what caused you to somehow lose rankings, then yes. Just remember that it's doubtful that your site was penalized for having duplicate content. What may have happened, however, is that you split the link popularity of your content between multiple URLs, which can definitely affect rankings. In which case, using rel=canonical as mentioned previously can help.

A. In the early days of Google, it could take up to a month for pages to get indexed. And the search results would shift once a month or so during what was called the "Google Dance." Today, due to much more processing power and many different data centers, most existing sites see new pages getting indexed almost immediately. This in turn causes the search results to also change constantly. Even brand-new sites will often be indexed within a few days if they ping Google and/or have a few tweets that announce it.

A. The quickest and easiest way is via a "site:command" at Google. Go to the Google search box and type: site: example.com and hit the search button. You'll then see at the top of the page: "About xx,xxx results." That's the approximate number of URLs from your site that they have indexed. You'll be able to scroll through the first 1,000 results, but that's about it. Please note that site:command isn't 100% accurate and you may find vastly different results from one day to the next.
