Everyone knows that there's Lo-Fi version on IPB. However not too many knows that it may cause a penalty to your site on google for having duplicate content.

Google loves to index IPB Lo-Fi version pages before anything else. So, when your "full version" pages get indexed, you'll receive a nice penalty from Google for having duplicate content on your site (You can see only url to your full version pages in Google or those pages are not added at all to SERPs).

How to prevent this?

create a robots.txt and add following lines in it:

User-agent: googlebot
Disallow: /forums/lofiversion/

This should stop Googlebot indexing your Lo-Fi content.

Actually, i did notice the whole penalty thing couple days ago when i searched my indexed pages on Google. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

So, I just have to wait some time to see if there's any effect on this. I hope so
