We have a news blog which is on our main site domain. When I have made a new post I hand-code a portion of the item onto the homepage. The reason for this is that I used to import the RSS feed but upon checking how the search engines read the page it seemed the content of the RSS was not read, just the import code, hence hand-coding it now.

Question is, will this be classed as duplicate content and will it harm us? I also hand-code it into the sidebar for some of the other pages. Each post is only a couple of paragraphs.

Do I need to add the canonical thing to my posts? How do I do that using WP?

Thanks

Hi Spock

What do you mean by this? From an SEO perspective, I'd expect this to refer to whether or not the domain had a www in front of it. It sounds like you mean something different here?

Live long and prosper.

The canonical tag can be added on a page by page basis, but the thing is, let google decide which page of the two shows in the Serps Smiley
