    Instead of using pages, why don't you use posts..?

    pages are for website's own information like "contact us", privacy policy, sitemap etc..

    so it would look like this.

    yoursite.com/category/your-post/
    Signature

    three great FREE tools - www.sitebeak.com, www.GAtective.com and www.impersonal.me

    Just make sure the title is different for all the pages. If you don't have that possibility then you have to reprogram you website(Title Part.). Hope you understand.

    If that does not exist then in robot.txt set that link as nofollow.

    add code in robots to disallow pages or folder
    disallow: /pagename ( like services.htm)
    disallow: /folder name ( like images)

    Add the following in robot.txt
    Disallow: /19-2
    Disallow: /contact-us

      Hi,

      I just finished with this same problem on my blog. Go to your robots txt, and Allow:/http:// the link of the duplicate.html
      The mark up on this is strange

      Disallow - permission to spider
      Allow - not permission to spider

      Google sees tag pages, and extra pages as duplicate content.

      I had this same problem, and did some research on Google, and discovered
      how to fix the problem.

      I am apologize for contradicting experts, but it can be confusing.

        do you think i need to make this:

        Allow: /19-2
        Allow: /contact-us

        instead of disallow?
