Hi,
If you look at Amazon Product page urls, you'll find that there's several url variations that will land you on the same product page. For example, the below 3 variations all go to the same Amazon Kindle page and notice that all 3 will retain the url in the browser address bar as typed below (ie. no redirect to a "main" url variation)
(1) http://www.amazon.com/All-New-Kindle...RVK4SC1S7HWHND
(2) http://www.amazon.com/All-New-Kindle...dp/B00OQVZDJM/
(3) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OQVZDJM/
If I backlinked using all 3 of the above constructs, will G index as if those are 3 different pages/URLs (with duplicate content) and thus divide the link juice to "3 urls" or is G smart enough somehow to count all the backlinks as going to the same page?

    Maybe a simpler way to ask the question is if you send backlinks using the 3 urls mentioned above, will they show up as 3 separate indexed pages in G?
