Show parts of page A on page B & C?

[rayvensoft]

Good afternoon,
   A quick question.  I am working on a website which has a large page with different sections.  Lets say:

Page 1
SECTION A
SECTION B
SECTION C

Now, they are adding a new area where they want to show only certain sections, so it would look like this:

Page 2
SECTION A

Page 3
SECTION C

Page 4
SECTION D

So my question is, would a rel='canonical' tag back to Page 1 be the correct way of preempting any duplicate content issues?  I do not need Page 2-4 to even be indexed, it is just a matter of usability and giving the users what they are looking for without all the rest of the extra stuff.

Gracias. Tesekürler. Salamat Ko. Thanks. (bonus thumbs up for anybody who knows which languages each of those are)

Hi Raymond,

Either canonicalisation to page 1 or noindexing would do the trick here if the content has been duplicated. If you noindex, use noindex, follow so links in and out of that page benefit the website.

Cheers,

Thanks Richard,
   Sometimes it is the simplest answer that are the easiest to miss.  I was thinking I would have to write a dynamic page, or something along those lines (I was a programmer before becoming a SEO).  That is what I'll do.  Thanks!

Why not just noindex the pages?
