One way of stopping this from being indexed and caught as duplicate contentn is to control your robots.txt and stop the search engines from crawling thos pages.

This is the simplest and best way, seeing that those pop-ups arent doing your seo any good in anycase:-)

Are you familiar with robots.txt?

lol...me again, if not then have a read through this great article http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=156449

Do it the google way

Hope that this answers your question and curious to see if any others have other suggestions.

robots will not stop people linking to the file, and SE's can get to them that way.

I would simply use a canonical tag here, this is what they are for.

Removing pages may lower overall page rank of a site. you should remove pages as a last resort.

[stefanok]

Thats true. Ccanonical tags would be great too in this case.

Yes, I we have a extensive robot txt file but I agree a canonical tag would be best. Pointing to one page and adding content down the road would be my best bet.
