Is it possible to know if visitor arrived at the web page via organic search and if so, show some content?
Thank you. Can you also not only check if the visitor is coming via search BUT also keyword used so I can make my notices more specific?

Strange duplicate content issue
it could be any one out of the following 3 scenarios. 1: The page in question was moved at some point and since the CMS still accepts the old URL, when google re-visits the old URL it still finds it. So in this scenario it will find both the old URL and the new URL and index both. 2: google hasn't revisited the page for a long while but it is still in it's index, even though it would get a 301 by the CMS when it visits the page. Can be easily fixed by going to webmaster tools and ask it to remove it from the index. 3: there are still links to the old URL either on site or off site and since the CMS doesn't 301 the oid page it will index it again with a new URL. 4:the page still exists in the CMS because of some strange setting or equivalent in the CMS. as mentioned before the easy fix is to use a robots.txt and deny access to the page and ask google to remove it from it's index. the better fix is to find the problem in the CMS and solve it. a midway fix could be to 301 it in the .htaccess or equvilent on an ISS server. hope it helped
