I have a site I created ages ago that I am looking at revamping. There is a section where articles are pulled from a database but can relate to more than one category. They way I set the URL's up means that there are a lot of (same content) pages with different URL's.
NB this wasn't mean as search engine spamming, more of a logical way of presenting the articles.
The articles are accessable in the format:
article/1
and also:
article/categoryA/1
article/categoryB/1
article/categoryC/1
etc.
This means I have a good number of pages indexed, but all with lowish page rank. (I am concious now that there is a risk of a duplicate content penalty.)
Is it better to change the urls so that I only have the article/1 format thus cutting quite considerably the number of pages indexed but hopefully increasing each pages PR (as it will be linked from each of the category pages or should I just leave the structure alone?
