Google is listing my site using IP also, is it normal?

[tpt.com]

https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=site%3A50.97.XXX.XXX

About 7,050 results (0.24 seconds)

when we do list by domain we get :

About 10,400,000 results (0.29 seconds)

is it ok? would google smart enough to count IP address not as duplicate content?

This is bad for user experience and SEO. I would avoid the canonical tag solution and opt for cononicalisation via 301 redirects / rewrite rules.

This post explains how to configure you .htaccess file to redirect your IP address to your domain name:

I am fairly positive this will work but I could be wrong and I am sure somebody here will correct me if I am but if you start utilizing the rel=canonical tags on all your pages and have it point to the right URL you won't have to worry about these other pages showing up in Google as any time it sees the IP page it will also see the rel=canonical tag point to the corresponding regular form URL and index that instead.  Here is an article that may help you out: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/canonical-url-tag-the-most-important-advancement-in-seo-practices-since-sitemaps
