Hi,
Recently I've looked at trying to get a permalink system up to increase my site's ranking in google (and to have nice looking URLs); however I've been very worried about google and duplicate content.
I currently already have a "flaw" in my site, in which if you go to mysite.com/tutorials/ID it will bring you to the same place as mysite.com/categories/CatID/tutorials/TutID . I really need the first one "/tutorials/TutID" to redirect to the second "/categories/ CatID/tutorial/TutID". When I decide to then release this permalink thing, I will then have URLs like this "/CatPerm/TutPerm", However I will then need the old links "/categories/CatID/tutorials/TutID" and "/tutorials/TutID" to redirect to "/CatPerm/TutPerm"..
I'm hesitant to release this permalink system because with multiple pages of the same content google will think I have duplicate content..
What should I do? How should I approach this?
I still don't really know how to setup the permalink system (well I've made "UrlExt" for categories, which will be thier "CatPerm"; but I dont know how to implement this in routes.rb).
If you need anymore information please just ask,
Please Help,
-Joe
