Can use of the id attribute to anchor t text down a page cause page duplication issues?

[Chammy]

I am producing a long glossary of terms and want to make it easier to jump down to various terms.

I am using the<a id="anchor-text"  ="" attribute="" so="" am="" appending="" #anchor-text="" to="" a="" url="" reach="" the="" correct="" spot<="" p=""></a>

<a id="anchor-text"  ="" attribute="" so="" am="" appending="" #anchor-text="" to="" a="" url="" reach="" the="" correct="" spot<="" p="">Does anyone know whether Google will pick this up as separate duplicate pages?</a>

<a id="anchor-text"  ="" attribute="" so="" am="" appending="" #anchor-text="" to="" a="" url="" reach="" the="" correct="" spot<="" p="">If so any ideas on what I can do? Apart from not do it to start with? I am thinking 301s won't work as I want the URL to work. And rel=canonical won't work as there is no actual page code to add it to.

Many thanks for your help

Google won't have any problem with this setup and won't view URLs like /glossary#a, /glossary#b as duplicate content. You should be fine.

IMO these on-page anchor links are almost as powerful in optimization as a title tag.

Great, many thanks guys - I will keep going with what I was intending to do!
