   What a cool idea for a plugin. I see much of my content duplicated since setting up redirects from my old numeric URLs to my new word-based URLs. Can this plugin help with that? Maybe I’ll just install it and see.

   Technically there isn’t a need for that so long as you use redirects.
   Anyone that uses mod_rewrite or a redirect php script (such as Scott Yang’s Permalink Redirect) shouldn’t need to worry about Google penalizing their site – just make sure you use 301 (permanent) rather than 302 (temporary) redirects. However, that’s just SEO, you won’t be actually punished for it.

   Google only punishes duplicate, non-redirecting content. Anything that redirects is safe.

   Therefore, this plugin is useful for those *not* using Scott’s excellent plugin, and have multiple permalinks (that don’t redirect) pointing to the same exact content/post – don’t need to use it otherwise.

   Hi, I downloaded your plugin but after enabling it, my page would not validate as XHTML 1.1 so I poked around the plugin a bit and after reading some parts of the XHTML 1.1 standard it seems that the meta parameters must be given in a certain order. This is how the plugin should add the meta tags if you want to use it in a XHTML 1.1 compliant document:

   $robots_meta = ”;
   } else {
   $robots_meta = ”;

   Honestly I don’t know if I’m better off running this or not, but I do know I use mod_rewrite and I have a lot of duplicate entries in Google. My 200 pages are some 500 results. UTW Tags are responsible for a lot of bulk, which I notice this plugin marks as NOINDEX.

   Seems worth a shot. I’m all for a lot of results, but I’m not trying to spam Google with content already listed.
