With wordpress if you are posting new content, the content will be displayed on your home page, but it will also be displayed on another url you have given under Permalink. So the content is the same on 2 different urls. Therefore Google will see this is duplicate content.
How can you avoid this from happening?

    • All my autoblogs use the Duplicate Content Cure plugin.

      I recommend you use this plug as well.
    • I've seen:
      <link rel="canonical" ....>
      in wordpress code. This tells Google to consider content once, and ignore duplicate/similar material. That is one of the reasons Wordpress is so great for SEO (you would have to do this on your own otherwise)

  • Keep in mind that Google looks at your entire page, not just each post on your homepage. For example, if you have your 5 most recent posts on your homepage, then the total content of your homepage is still unique compared to each individual post. At most it has a similarity of 20% compared to each individual post.

    If you use excerpts instead of the full post then it is even more original.
  • you should try reading this.
  • Actually when you make your homepage on wordpress static, the page which you put on the homepage wordpress instantly removes what ever name you added to the end of the domain. So you don't need to worry about it.
