How to solve this issue and avoid duplicated content?
-
My marketing team would like to serve up 3 pages of similar content; www.example.com/one, www.example.com/two and www.example.com/three; however the challenge here is, they'd like to have only one page whith three different titles and images based on the user's entry point (one, two, or three). To avoid duplicated pages, how would suggest this best be handled?

Hi Joelher
It's perfectly OK to have three pages very similar or even identical as long as you choose one main page to be canonicalized to:
So you have:
www.example.com/one (main page)
www.example.com/two - place the tag: <rel="canonical" href="www.example.com/one">in the section of this page.
www.example.com/three - place the tag: <rel="canonical" href="www.example.com/one"> in the section of this page.</rel="canonical"></rel="canonical">Pages two and three will not rank and all juice will be passed to /one
I hope that helps

Bang on Nigel! Canonical tags are definitely the way to go on this one!
