      Hi, i am going to try and explain this as best as possible as i am not used to working with k2 that much.

      What i have as an example is a page which is here

      http://www.in2town.co.uk/Cheap-Flights-Ryanair-News

      This page is news about ryanair

      now because i am working in joomla and i am working with k2, and i am also making each landing page a front page, i am having problems.

      For people who do not use joomla i will explain. For the ryanair page which is a front page, i have to make a category and that category for all my content to go into is called ryaniar-news. Now i have the page above which is for ryanair news but the problem i have got is, because i have a category it brings up all the content as a blog format. so for example here is the category section in blog format. http://www.in2town.co.uk/news/ryaniar-news

      Now i have managed to make sure that the articles are not showing but it brings up the title of the pages and i am worried that this will be seen as duplicate content and will damage the main page of http://www.in2town.co.uk/Cheap-Flights-Ryanair-News

      I may have set everything up wrong i am not sure but if i have i would be glad if someone can tell me the right way to do it. I do not like the blog format and that is why i use a front page set up so i can have my layout the way i want it.

      Can anyone please explain if my set up will damage the main ryanair news page or what i need to do to sort it out please.

        Hi Diane,

        I don't think that is duplicate content.  I used Wordpress before and that is the same way I used to create menus and sort articles.

        You simply have articles and sorted out by categories but have multiple pages or ways to access that article.  I don't believe that is duplicate content.  Duplicate content is when you have the a chunk of content within your website that is similar.  However, I don't see that on your website.  What i see is you have an article, but can be accessed via the main page and the category page.
