      I've just had a look at the crawl diagnostics and my site comes up with duplicate page content and duplicate titles. I noticed that the url all has %5C at the end which I've never seen before. Does anybody know what that means?

        5C is the hex code for '' (backward slash). Maybe you have a backward slash where you mean to have a forward slash '/'? Ascii codes here: http://www.asciitable.com/

          Thanks Mike, I'll double check cause but as far as I'm aware there shouldn't be. Thanks again.

            Greg,

            Were you able to figure this out?  I just ran into the same issue and was hoping for a little more insight
