How can we optimize content specific to particular tabs, but is loaded on one page?

Hi,

Our website generates stock reports. Within those reports, we organize information into particular tabs. The entire report is loaded on one page and javascript is used to hide and show the different tabs.

This makes it difficult for us to optimize the information on each particular tab. We're thinking about creating separate pages for each tab, but we're worried about affecting the user experience.

We'd like to create separate pages for each tab, put links to them at the bottom of the reports, and still have the reports operate as they do today.

Can we do this without getting in trouble with Google for having duplicate content? If not, is there another solution to this problem that we're not seeing?

Here's a sample report: http://www.vuru.co/analysis/aapl

In advance, thanks for your help!

Thanks for the response.

Yeah, we want to avoid affecting the user experience if possible. We feel that making each tab load as its own page could severely impact it.

Any other ideas? Thoughts on the issue of duplicate content?

If you have a very fast website, and a decent amount of content within each tab, you could have each tab be it's own page.  Everything will look the same to the user, but you can optimize for that specific tab.  However, this will not work if you have a slow website.

Otherwise I would suggest making each tab it's own individual page.
