Re: routing — duplicate content and SEO concerns

Why would anyone do that? It's a known black hat SEO tactic, among others
aimed at sabotaging competition as a means to improve one's own ranking. Not
that I have particular reason to be concerned that anyone is specifically
out to get me, but:

a.) It's still bothersome that the exposure is there.

b.) It just feels wrong to have an unlimited number of duplicate content
URLs, whether or not anyone actually links to them. I'd draw a parallel to
how, from a programming standpoint, breaking MVC patterns feels wrong and
should be avoided. This wrongness feels the same to me from an SEO
standpoint, and I have a solid online marketing background. It's just bad
practice to have duplicate content floating around different URLs.

c.) To add a little more meat to my argument, I just checked out
Wordpress—the mature and very SEO-friendly CMS platform—and found it is
impervious.

To Adam and everyone else, two questions:

1.) What do you think about the issue? Problem or not?

2.) Ideas for the best solution?
