Canonicals and php script worries of duplicate content

[JayGreen]

Canonicals question:

I have a script my users can interact with to dig for information without leaving the page or refreshing. Kind of like a survey of yes and no answers.


My question is one of duplicate content concern: If I allow user to link to certain points in the survey and Google spider see this link and index it, will the Canonical prevent the duplicate content slap?


Neat Page:


www. example. com/survey/


Same page but linked to certain point in the survey:


www. example. com /survey/id=7





Would search engines see this as two pages?

Thanks!

Yes... They will see this as 2 pages. Simple as that.

Thought the whole idea behind Canonicals was to tell the seach engines, here's the page that counts. Many site were using session IDs and getting slapped because the search engines would see thousands of the same page. Thought this was supposed to solve this.
