Duplicate Content in Drupal

Out of the box, Drupal has powerful optimization features built into its architecture. But without care, it can easily generate duplicate content that you might not be aware of. The following are common problems that may arise.

  • URL Aliases - being able to access the site with both the original url and the alias
  • Page titles - having titles that are too similar or identical
  • Accessing your site with and without the www
  • Printer friendly pages
  • Forums and Views that create sortable lists that can generate multiple URLs with duplicate content.
  • Forward to friend links
  • Allowing multiple terms per node resulting in the same teasers appearing on different category pages

Fortunately, all of these issues can be easily resolved with a couple additional modules and some simple changes to the robots.txt file and the .htaccess file.

The beauty of these blogging

The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.

A Well Taken Advice

As an SEO copywriter who also submits various essay topics online, I am well aware of the danger submitting duplicate contents can create. While Drupal prides itself with powerful optimization features, it is honest enough to admit its propensity to generate duplicate contents. This is truly admirable of Drupal. Thanks, by the way, for the tips on how to avoid these mistakes.

Alot of people get confused about duplicate content thinking its when someone somewhere has stolen their content from their site, im not saying this is not a problem because it is but the big problem with dupe content is when its on the same domain,this is when google does not like it.
