I am a little concerned about the number of hits that come up for the same page in Fornits when you do a search on Google. To give and example, if you search on "This is what They Involved My wife in", as string chosen simply because it is old, short and unique you get 4 hits. If you click on "repeat the search with the omitted results included" you get 13 hits. The URL for some of these starts, "fornits.com/wwf/", for some it starts "
www.fornits.baremetal.com/wwf/" and others it starts "
www.fornits.baremetal.com/phpBB/". There are other permutations to do with sort order and the reply form also comes up.
Google obviously recognizes many of these as duplicates because it has omitted them from the original results. My worry is what it is doing to the rankings. Fornits generally comes pretty high but without all the duplicates Google (and presumably other search engines) might rank it even higher. Isn't it possible to arrange to present fewer URLs to the spiders? Do the baremetal ones need to be visible at all? Wouldn't it be possible to hide most of these pages with noindex nofollow meta tags?
