You are kidding right? The algorithms the Google use, already take into account common content on multiple pages. OpenOffice.org use Google as their own site specific search engine. As do a number of sites. The only real problem with using Google is that they only spider the web every few weeks, thus if you update more frequently than that, you may have a problem.
No, I'm not kidding. It's not common content that Google has a problem which makes it less than perfect for individual sites. The whole point behind PageRank is that you get a lot of sites linking to each other and are given rank based on the link count. On a smaller sampling, there simply isn't enough data to be fed into PageRank to make a good rank. Is it still useful? Sure it is, but it's also not as good as other solutions for this particular problem.
