Preventing the Google Bomb

I was reading a thread over at Digital Point about a guy who had implemented mod_rewrite and some evil guy out there was linking all over his site with non-rewritten links - thereby causing him duplicate content penalties and hurting his SERPs.

It got me to thinking...

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but with vbSEO, anything with a query string gets pushed through vbseo.php - meaning that any regular url could feasibly get 301'ed to the real vbSEO url - preventing this problem from occurring at all.

So my question is - have you guys already covered this situation? I think you have with the setting - 301 Redirect Original Content - but I'm not entirely certain.

That is the way it works, yes.

Excellent. Just more evidence of the fact that vbSEO is worth the cost because they've put so much thought into things.
