Stop the Duplicate a4u Latest Forum Posts Entries!
| Filed under General |
This has been happening ever since the different sections of affiliates4u were created and merchants we encouraged to post in them all, I still think there needs to be a solution. It appears on the front page of affiliates4u where the latest posts on the site are displayed.
Two solutions:
- Write a script to notice that all the threads are identical and only shows one of them on the front page
- Limits each user to only one latest topic shown on front page at any time
Same problem with latest posts on the forum (see below), probably a bit harder to code out, but this madness has to stop surely? I blogged about it in April 2005 and now three years later in 2008 I feel I need to vent again!
Is it just me and Google that don’t like duplicate content? Or do you agree with me? Feel free to back me below, but if you love all this extra junk don’t be afraid to slap this too.

It’s one of my bugbears too!

Rule 5 - Please make titles that you give to posts as descriptive as possible, this will ultimately mean that more people will read your posts. Do not duplicate threads in different forums. Duplicate posts will be deleted or merged.
“Do not duplicate threads in different forums.”
At least be clever about it and post the same thing over the course of a day, get ongoing exposure!

Thank heavens it wasn’t just me! I totally agree. Do these guys think we’re morans? Rather than ‘add’ to my positive list of being aware of their brand - they’ve p****d me off so I can’t be a***d to promote them. The forum has got to do something about this .. and whilst they’re at it - get rid of the non-affiliate rubbish in the blog posts.
