    SEO Discussion - Blog indexing and duplicate content

    Something I noticed today when checking out how many pages of one of our blogs has indexed.

    Google is picking up all the pages based on the date, so the title is "Site Name April 10" and the url is like domain.com/2006/04/10/

    Now if google comes back to the site and crawls through the permalinks or the recent posts or even just the sitemap, they're going to get the exact same content on domain.com/perma-link-name/ as they're getting from the date urls.
    Would this create a duplicate content penalty?

    Also, does anyone know how to setup wordpress so that all urls are permalink only and none of the date shit?

                      Right, we're using /%postname%/ for our permlinks....but that still doesn't answer the question about whether or not the permlinks and the date links will get you penalized for duplicate content. (Same thing really for /page/2/ and /page/3/ and so on, since the posts are displayed there as well as on the permalink url and the date urls)

                      Anyone know of a way to disable the date links altogether and/or have them redirect to the permalink url?

                              .htaccess identifies page name changes from changes to permalink structure. No penalty.

                                  well, if you look at it, a post being on page 2 is going to be lumped together with the other posts on page 2 so the page won't be the same as the singular post. Google has to see a significant amount of duplicate content to slap it. So if the page is multiple posts the chances of google seeing it as dupe are really really low. I've never had a problem with it and I've done 1k+ posts

                                  Hopefully that makes sense.

                                      I'm not sure about that. If you're using wordpress permalinks you can visit
                                      domain.com/2006/05/16/ or
                                      domain.com/perma-link-name-here/

                                      And get the exact same content. Google doesn't see that as two different pages with the same content?

                                          That is a hierarchical system, which allows for the treatment of years, months and days as "virtual folders". If you have one post on 2005/11/22, then that will return the same navigational result as the permalink URL. But if you have multiple posts on that day, then that "page" will contain more than one post's content. It's like named anchors, too. The SE doesn't think domain.com/page.html#name is another page different from domain.com/page.html. This does allow for greater linking specificity within single pages, but is not interpreted as duplication.
