Why would anyone do that? It's a known black hat SEO tactic, among others aimed at sabotaging competition as a means to improve one's own ranking. Not that I have particular reason to be concerned that anyone is specifically out to get me, but:
a.) It's still bothersome that the exposure is there. b.) It just feels wrong to have an unlimited number of duplicate content URLs, whether or not anyone actually links to them. I'd draw a parallel to how, from a programming standpoint, breaking MVC patterns feels wrong and should be avoided. This wrongness feels the same to me from an SEO standpoint, and I have a solid online marketing background. It's just bad practice to have duplicate content floating around different URLs. c.) To add a little more meat to my argument, I just checked out Wordpress—the mature and very SEO-friendly CMS platform—and found it is impervious. To Adam and everyone else, two questions: 1.) What do you think about the issue? Problem or not? 2.) Ideas for the best solution? —Ryan -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/routing-%E2%80%94-duplicate-content-and-SEO-concerns-tp1605804p1606539.html Sent from the CakePHP mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
