Split testing and dupe content

[eonicWeb]

Hi Everyone, good to be here.

I'd like to do split testing in Adwords, currently with a clients site we are selling from a normal site with navigation. The site has about 5 specific products,

I want to dupe one of the products and create a funnel without navigation distractions right to checkout.

Then A/B test the same product pages in Adwords, one with nav and one without. Will the dupe content be ignored do you think? I'm only slightly concerned as the product pages rank well at the moment.

Since you're running a test specifically for AdWords, you aren't going to want that test page with no nav to show up in search results. Just use a Meta robots noindex tag on the test page, or block it with robots.txt. The page will still be user accessible, but Google won't look at it as duplicate content.
