Search engines are not a fan of duplicate content and avoid indexing any page that they believe is duplicate content. At times the solution can be as easy as fixing the Navigation menus. Navigation menus must not be programmed in Flash or JavaScript as the search engines have a hard time spidering these. For the rest of us, duplicate content can probably be avoided by following the following tips. Do you know how many URL variations you have? How many domains do you own? if your website shows up under several URL’s how does the search engine know which one to index? Most of the time it will index whichever URL it visits first. It’s important that you 301 redirect all the domains that you have to one. Make sure your using a 301 redirect and not a 302 as the search engines will view a 302 as duplicate content still.
