I heard many things about duplicate content.

What should I do to deal with it?

noindex, nofollow, or canonical? Which is the right way? Or are there anything else?

How do I implement it in Wordpress?

Thank you very much.

    I guess noindex is best with duplicate content- you'd better play it safe. Search for "no index" in wordpress plugins and you will surely find something useful.

    Imv,

    Great question. I would suggest using canonicalization of your pages. This is the method recommended by Google. You could also use the parameters function in Bing to pass that search engine parameters of URL’s to ignore for indexing.

    By telling Bing which parameters to ignore, you can be sure that the search engine is indexing the most relevant pages on your site and not tossing out some or indexing the wrong pages because they appear as duplicate content.

    Here is more detailed information from Bing on the subject,

    Here are list of wordpress plugins that deal with duplicate content,

    Hope that helps you,

    Hi there,

    To implement in wordpress, you can use an SEO plug-in to handle the setting for you.

    The "all in one SEO pack" plug-in is excellent for it in my experience. Tick a few boxes and all done....

    Here's the link to the worldpress plug-in library:

    Best,

    Andy.
