hi- I just wanted to thank you for this awesome and informative post.
I have read about people getting supplemented because of this.
I’m currently working on creating a site and am realy worried about this issue with wordpress.
I wish there were some vidoe tutorials somewhere with someone talking about this issue and step by step instructions on how to resolve it by video.
I wan to tcreate my site with wordpress but I don’t want to get supplemented because of this issue.
All the best,
Eren

I run a couple adult blogs, what im wondering is how to make wordpress only index my homepage. I notice that i will get kicked out for a keyword because it will go indexing the post and not the front page. How would i got about correcting this so it only indexes my homepage?

Thanks in advance

Hmm, I installed duplicate content cure and saw that one of my visitors typed in a keyword for ‘tokyo flash’, but when they clicked on the link, which was for http://gizm0.com and not the article page, they went straight to the home page. what gives? does the plugin not add no-follow to the index/main page?

[…] more, trying to see if there was anymore guidance on this issue, but nothing really stood out. Some articles still proclaim that all duplicate content should be prevented from being indexed, whilst others say […]

This is a great post, thank you! What about adding “modifying .htaccess” to your list? I know you listed the plugins that I’m guessing will do this for you automatically, but manually changing your .htaccess file is another option that might be worth mentioning.

Great roundup and explanation.

#4 permanent redirect plugin now has an option to take care of www/non-www so you might not need to install #3 (to minimize your number of plugins).

Not to hurt anyone, but my educated thought on this subject is that this is… bullshit.

Duplicate content is a cross site issue: your site being scraped by sploggers for example. NOT a problem within your own site. Telling Google not to index some parts of your site is completely stupid.
