      Do to the WordPress programming I'm having a lot of duplicates that I will remove soon. What is the best way to make a decision which ones to keep and which ones to remove?

        If you know the page authority (either by having ran an SEOMOZ Campaign or by checking the site via Open Site Explorer) keeping the page that ranks the highest is what I would do.

          Hello,

          Best and common practice would be to keep the better ranking pages and remove the ones are not.

          Also put 301 redirects to the ones you removed towards the kept ones.

          hope that helps.
