The problem is that your letting Google made decisions. You never want to let Google guess. As an SEO you want to present everything to Google the way you want it. You want all links to go to only one version of each page. If you have links going to diff url's of the same content you are not getting the full affect of your links. All links to home page content need to be 301 redirected to the main version that has the most links. Google can deal with all 3 of those things without giving you a penalty.

This article sheds some ligh upon internal linking methods, but I still have some questions unanswered. Can you please shed some more ligh on these areas. 1. Does it help to have all links in sites have the domain name in them or not? Some sites use relative urls instead of the domainname.com/page1.html etc. I'm not sure if this is clear, but I'm not sure if this matters and if so how important is it? 2. Does having links to home.php or the domainname.com and duplicating content, does that really pose a penalty and does it really matter that much? 3. What about redirects in apache permanent that redirect from www.domainmame.com to domainname.com and vice versa, are those good ideas to do or not and will this boost page rank and rankings in the search engines? 4. Some people use nofollow tags and you say not to. I'm confused as to what nofollow does to engines and also does it stop pagerank being passed? Some people warned about buying text links that do not pass pagerank. How do you stop pagerank from being passed? Thanks Amir Hi David,
