Content in several locations & avoiding duplicate penalties

Monday 02 April 2007 7:10:29 pm

Hi,

Our in-house SEO guy has been telling us about the perils of having duplicated content in our site and I've been reading a lot of material online about this. While it seems there is no definitive answer about the penalties that search engines place on sites with duplicate content we don't want to take any chances.

The trouble is we have may sections in our site and it's pretty common for content to belong in more than one section. We had planned on using the locations facility in eZ to allow content to appear in any number of sections. But that creates several different urls with almost exactly the same content

So the question is, how do we have articles appearing in many sections and avoid getting in trouble with the search engines?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
