      http://www.domain.com/blog/sample-blog-post/#more-0001

      http://www.domain.com/blog/sample-blog-post/

      The first URL is coming from a "click here" hyperlink from the excerpt of the 2nd URL in my homepage.

      Thanks in advance!

        Google should recognise these links as the same page, so you shouldn't be penalised for duplicate content.

        However, a problem may arise with Google preferring one version of the URL over the other.  I'm presuming you'd want Google to rank and prioritise http://www.domain.com/blog/sample-blog-post/ over http://www.domain.com/blog/sample-blog-post#more-0001.

        With URLs like these (and with query strings, such as '-post?query3') it is important to implement a self-referring canonical - ie a canonical tag that points to itself, without the query.  This will tell Google that this is the URL string you would prefer it to rank highest.

        You can check out more on canonicals with the SEOMoz guide on them.

            Google doesn't crawl URL with "#" in it. You can also check out your URL, it will not be in Google index...so you need not to be worry about it.

              • Hi - How do you get rid of duplicate content that was accidentally created on a tag url? For example, when I published a new article, the content was duplicated on: /posts/tag/lead-generation/
