It will take time and money but still it is worth doing it. Yes it is better to avoid duplicate content and generate the unique content for the site.

I agree with you on the fact it's best to avoid duplicate content altogether. With the example you used (different color schemes) it would be quite easy to get the GET data, set the cookie, and then redirect back to index.php - this way no duplicate content is created...I'm always a bit skeptical about this though - Google and other search engines seem quite sensitive. I mean, if I created a link to this site but added a random query string like ?blah=22938 then Google would see it as an entirely different page; duplicate content. There should really be a better system in place for this type of scenario. Thanks for the info Brenelz. I agree with you on the fact it’s best to avoid duplicate content altogether.

There are so many Web sites suffering from diluted page ranks due to this. I usually handle this kind of stuff with .htaccess hacks :) Great dig up on this!
