BNবাংলা#Duplicate content
Duplicate content means the same or very similar text is available at more than one URL. It is usually caused by technical issues such as URL parameters, www and non-www versions or printer-friendly pages. Search engines then have to guess which version to show, which splits signals between them. It is rarely a penalty, but it often wastes visibility. Articles under this tag explain how duplicates appear and how canonical tags, redirects and cleaner URLs fix them.
