Duplicate URL in using Google Webmaster Tools

Hi there! I read your post and If I am correct, It would seem that the bookmarking created the problem. Your sitemap may contain many homepage url repeated numerous of times. A character like this-> # is a page anchor, and adding that does not change your url site in any way. The proper url site ends just before the number # sign. So yes, if you do have duplicates of numerous homepage url. Get rid and or erase of all that have the # sign. With this, You can edit your sitemap file in a plain text editor. Hope I helped.
