How can I differentiate
http://aa-rental.com/Audio Recorders.asp?cat=28
from
http://www.aa-rental.com/Audio Recorders.asp?cat=28
For some reasons crawl is understanding them as two different pages. Help will be very much appreciated.

I set no preference, will it matter?
Right now I submitted both versions in the webmaster. But preferred non www.

Tanveer, Matt is correct. A best answer for him!

You have a duplicate content issue that is because of your pages being available on the www. version and none www. version of the page - to correct this I would look at placing a 301 redirect from the none www. to the www. version and this will fix the issue.
Here is some information on 301 redirects -

I would also make the selection on Google Webmaster Tools as SEO5 says

Go into Google Webmaster tools and choose the way you want google to index the site. Choose either the www or the non www version of the domain name. This should fix it.

Press releases and duplicate content
Hi Mozzers, What does Google think about a press release, appearing on lots of websites (relevant websites) as part of a link building campaign. Does the fact that this press release content is duplicated across lots of sites have a negative impact? Thanks in advance

Giveaway outreach - duplicate content?
I'm thinking of hosting a giveaway, and promoting this to bloggers. Thinking of how to go about this, I've run into a sort of a road block. I'm thinking the best way would be to attach a flyer detailing the giveaway so that bloggers have easy access to the information. However, I fear that a lot of them will just copy + paste from the flyer straight to a blog post - which will create a lot of duplicate content. Anybody in the community willing to share their experiences and how they were able to go around the duplicate content issue?

Duplicate Content Link Juice
Hello SEO Community, So sometimes I will pitch one guest post to multiple outlets and if multiple reply positively, I will tell all but the single most authoritative site that the article is being published elsewhere and it won't be unique for their site. But some don't mind and still post anyway. I definitely don't mind because it just means that more people will read my article and more sites will be linking back to me. What are the implications on the link juice from the most authoritative site? What about the other ones (which are still authoritative, just not as much)? Is there any reason I should explicitly tell them not to post if I know it will appear somewhere else? Thanks much,

Backlink's using duplicate content in article directories
I've had a link build report of all the links an SEO company have got us but a simple search for some of the content in Google with phrase match brings up about 3 pages of the same content posted to different article sites. I think it is doing something but will it just be penalised over time?

Duplicate Free Press Release Submission
I know that free press release sites don't always do the best job at getting ones relates out there, but I had a thought. What if I were to submit the same release to say, ten free press release sites? Would that it at least give me ten backlinks from those sites alone? They'd be good backlinks since I'll be able to have the desired anchor text. Is that just another version of article spinning, or is it a good strategy for getting the release out there as much as possible? I'd value any of your opinions.

Directories and duplicate content.
Part of our link building strategy for a dentist is to submit their site to several relevant directories. If I enter the same description in each directory, is it possible that Google will consider this duplicate content and prevent link juice from being passed back to the dentist's site? Thanks folks, Jason

Duplicate content: One version is commercial and the other non commercial for linking purposes
I wanted to know if the following plan would be considered white hat or black hat. I am in the process of creating an instructional how to guide for a particular task. My how to guide will be a DIY guide so that with time and practice, customers can do this task for themselves and save money. I think that it would be a great resource. I want to ask other websites for links to this how to guide but the problem is that my blog has a commercial feel to it. These other websites that I plan on asking for a link probably won't link to my site because it promotes my services. They would be non profits, etc. My site needs to appear non commercial. In order to get around this stigma, I want to duplicate my how to guide twice on my blog. The first instance will be for normal visitors searching for my services. In the second instance, my banner, my tel number, my call to action will be deleted from my site. My website will be neutral. When I request a link from the non profits, I plan on sending a link to the neutral portion of my blog in the hopes that they will see a non commercial site and link to me. What do you think? I could also tell the webmasters that I've neutered my website for this resource only. Will this plan give link juice to my root domain?
