Hi
I have noticed on Google when examining my site's index that there appears to be several instances of the same post. For example, Google is returning results like this:
myblog.com/hello-everyone-in-the-world
myblog.com/page/2
myblog.com/page/3
Is this normal in WordPress and could it lead to my blog been penalised by the search engines for having duplicate posts?
Any advice would be most appreciated.
Thanks

The three results that you lists are unrelated. myblog.com/hello-everyone-in-the-world is a single post, myblog.com/page/2 is the second page of posts, and myblog.com/page/3 is the third page of posts.

Hi MacManX
Many thanks for your response.
However, I am a little confused. Both /page/2 and /page/3 are instances of /hello-everyone-in-the-world. I did not copy and publish these two instances.
Consequently, if they are unrelated but contain the same content, how were they created and published?
Could they be revisions requiring deletion from the database?
Thanks

Is /hello-everyone-in-the-world the only post currently on your blog?

Hi MacManX
No, there are other posts but there appears to be no instances of those particular posts.
Many thanks

Can you post a link to the blog here? I'd like to see what's happening.

I checked:
fishpondfilters.org.uk/
fishpondfilters.org.uk/the-specific-operation-of-fish-pond-filters
fishpondfilters.org.uk/page/2
fishpondfilters.org.uk/page/3
Though they share some content, each one is unique.
/page/3 displays the same post as /the-specific-operation-of-fish-pond-filters, but this is because it's the third page in a list of posts. Once you add another post, you should see two posts on that page.
