Q. I was considering the idea of selling franchise type versions of my main site. They would be the same as my main site, but for the franchise owner it would be placed in their own unique sub domain. So would having duplicate copies of my main site hurt my SEO with Google, yahoo and msn?
A. Yes and no...but mostly yes.
Google is rather evolved say in the case of a wordpress blog. It generally knows that you may have some potential on-site duplicate issues...and won't take away your birthday for it.
That being said you definitely want to ensure you focus on having that text in one spot...esp if you're consciously publishing it in both spots.
If you are using one location as kind of a draft or private copy for a group of your coaching students, or whatever....consider making sure you exclude that location in your robots.txt and also if you have it linked ANYWHERE on your site apply the rel="nofollow" tag to the <a href="http://yourotherlocation.to-article.com" rel="nofollow">yada yada</a>
Hope that makes sense.

SEO Do Google's algorithmic processes read every word in a blog post or only tags and titles of posts?
Q. I am trying to optimize my site and my blog posts are full of terms or keywords but I don't know how or if they are being read by Google, or if they need to be in a particular place. HELP.
A. Everything on the page, including:
- placement on the page
- keywords on the page
- even alt tags, titles, filenames of your images
Note that Google also knows:
- what sites link to you
- where are you linking
The more you use Google services such as Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Tools, Adsense, etc. then the more G knows about your website
As long as it is on the page, though Google can read it -- though G is not quite good yet in reading Javascript and flash
