Do search engines treat index pages with excerpts as duplicate content of the pages they link to?
- by Perry Roper
I am using WordPress and in my post sidebar I have related posts which may be of interest to the user, however, I also have an excerpt of each article which is normally the first paragraph of the post it is linking to.
For example:
http://musicdune.com/reviews/album-review-ellie-goulding-lights
If you do a Google Search for the first excerpt in the realted posts section from that page you get 4-5 results from my domain, http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Strip+back+the+synths,+fast+beats+and+the+other+pop+elements,+and+you%E2%80%99re+left+with+something+elegant+and+soulful
Is it recommended that I remove the excerpt from the related posts?
