Duplicated Content Problem in Wordpress

**casinorecommender** · 21 December 2011, 3:52 pm

Hi Guys

Today i have found out in Google Webmasters that there are many notices for duplicated description and tiles for my pages. Let me give you examples:

/desert-nights-casino

/tag/desert-nights-casino-review

/exciting-promotions-for-december-at-intertops-sportsbook

/exciting-promotions-for-december-at-intertops-sportsbook?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campa ign=exciting-promotions-for-december-at-intertops-sportsbook

/casino-luck

/tag/casino-luck-review

Can anyone help me with solving this issue ?

Thanks a lot

the rel="canonical" hint will eliminate this issue.

2 out of the 3 are not duplicated pages, they are different. You just need to change the title and description yourself so the dont match

tag pages "no-index" ??

**hakank** · 23 December 2011, 3:14 pm

to no-index tag pages isn't the way to go, use:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://your-url-here.com/any-page" /> and add that to each page head, within <head></head>. That way you will avoid duplicate content.

Hi again

By the way, in my "Platinum SEO" plug-in the "canonical URL's option is checked. Doet it make the same thing ? I mean instead of adding the code you have mentioned is it enough ?

Thanks a lot

In your wp admin -->Appearance --> Editor: Do you have "head.php" ? If so add it there. keep it to <link rel="canonical"> and it should do the trick, you might have to go through ftp to find the head.php

I'm using Thesis theme on one site and there I have the option to use canonical urls, that option add the tag to all pages automagically.

I did look at your casinorecommender site and the platinum plugin seems to add the tag:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://casinorecommender.com/?attachment_id=321" />
Not sure why it shows as attachment_id though.
