Just make sure that humans are able to find it! Permalinks can actually cause duplicate content issues on a default WordPress installation (I am asssuming you are using WordPress). There are several WordPress plugins that solve this problem. Take a look at the <a href="http://scott.yang.id.au/code/permalink-redirect/" rel="nofollow">Permalink Redirect WordPress Plugin</a>.

Is placing the link at the top of every page vs. having a single link on the bottom of every page better? Should the link be placed both top and bottom of every page? Also per duplicated content: Is providing a PermaLink for each blog entry a fix for duplicate content? Thanks Kent,

I wanted to know if you experienced in the real life anything related to these 2 questions. Thanks for the links - but they don't answer my questions .

Take a look at #6 "Canonical Issues." To answer your question, yes, we have experienced problems with not redirecting the non-www version to the www version. Specifically, on a larger sites with a significant amount of content. For additional information on canonical issues, take a look at this post on <a href="http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-advice-url-canonicalization/" rel="nofollow">URL Canonicalization </a>by Matt Cutts. 2. We have tested the impact of using targeted keywords within header tags and have seen improvement in rankings. We don't believe that this tactic alone will help you achieve prominent rankings, but instead is one component of a comprehensive SEO campaign.

Have you ever had a problem with not redirecting the domain,com to the www.domain.com or vice-versa? I believe this is more than a myth and has no impact- of course I refer to the duplicate content issue you mentioned, not building links different versions which makes sense. 2.Also have you tested the impact of Heading tags on rankings? I also believe it won't make a difference. Thanks and hope you can answer my questions. :) Hi
