    Hello,

    I am using wordpress from quite some time and now i think that it may create a copied content problem. I just wanted to know the opinion of others regarding this matter.

    For example i made post titled "Test Post" on www.blog.com . I have set in my wordpress options to display only one post on homepage. So by default "Test Post" will be displayed on homepage as well as http://www.blog.com/test-post/ also. Arent both of these pages exact duplicate of each other.

    regards

    To answer in long verse. No. Google will not penalise you for this. It's a natural part of a blog.

    Col :)

    True, but it can be a pain in the ass when you have 4 different url's for one page, trust me it sent me crazy before.

    Check out;
    http://fucoder.com/code/permalink-redirect/

    Also i have

    
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domainl.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    
    # If requested resource does not exist as a file
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    # and does not end with a period followed by a filetype
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !..+$
    # and does not end with a slash
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
    # then add a trailing slash and redirect
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1/ [R=301,L]
    
    Code (markup):
    So with that, if you try going to http://domain.com it redirects to http://www.domain.com etc etc

    google shouldn't penalise you on tat. :)

    as it's still the same content from ya site.
    and besides, it's how wordpress categories it anyway.
    no worries about it aditya! :)
