I'm wondering if the new rel=canonical tag can be used to fix duplicate content issues in wordpress, as well as all the other duplicate content problems it will now fix (EG your answers above). What do you think ..? malcolm coles’s last blog post..Can you use rel = canonical to fix duplicate comment problems caused by comment pagination in wordpress?

Probably good to distinguish between duplicate content on your own site (like a post on the home page, category page, and permalinked page, which, inbound-link splitting apart, google doesn't much care about) and plagiarism. Which it does. malcolm coles’s last blog post..Avoid duplicate content with paged comments in wordpress

I hate plagiarisers!! They have no respect for others' intellectual properties. Sad! I have several duplicate articles on other sites. The one in my blog is linked to the other site and vice versa. I hope Google will not see this as something to penalise! (Will they?) kelly’s last blog post..qutequte: @Skribe Yay that means my guess is right! I like your title cos it's very 'un-corporate'!! Lord God of the Universe! Very creative!

And backtype as well now (in fact, backtype tends to show up in google in about 10 seconds for most of my posts!) malcolm coles’s last blog post..Wordpress comment pagination & duplicate content

Frank, Your correct that Google may give more relevance in search results to the higher authority page. Therein lies the problem. In other words it's possible for someone to scrap my content and rank higher in the search results for it. In fact I caught some guy scraping my content just the other day. 4 of my articles.The best thing to do in that case is contact their hosting company and file a DMCA complaint. I talk more about how to do that in Combating Online Plagiarism. Gerald Weber’s last blog post..Is Your Captcha Killing Your Business?
