    Hello Friends,

    I am seeking kind help from the experts on SEO.

    In my blog, I find that three urls are being generated for a single article as on date. Out of these three urls one is a SEO friendly url containing the title of the article. Whereas other two are dynamic urls (For example sitename.com/articalDetails?qry=6308) based upon the article ID like 6308 stored in the database.

    Can any one guide me as to whether these three urls can cause problem in Google ranking in SEO? & whether Google will treat it as a duplicate content?

    Recently one guy suggested me to to replace the old dynamic urls with SEO friendly urls. This being a manual activity is very cumbersome. Should I change the code of the blog so that dynamic urls are not created from now onward.

    Thus looking for an expert advice please.

    Best Regards.
