A new patent application from Yahoo explores how they might handle dynamic URLs to avoid the problem of duplicate content.

What is nice about the patent application is that it identifies a number of the problems that might arise because of duplicate content at different web addresses on the same site, and some approaches that they might use to solve the problem.

Thanks for sphinning this Steven, for the kind words websuccessdiva, and for all the sphinns.

It was interesting seeing Yahoo's take on how they might try handle the same content at different pages.

Glad to Bill. Given how many people use one CMS or another and all the multiple URLs that can lead to it would great to see search engines solve this proble, Most of us here know how to ensure only one URL gets indexed, but I'm sometimes amazed at how many possible URLs can get created.

And lets face it. The average site owner isn't going to know how to prevent all the duplucate pages.
