I'm not sure if this topic has been addressed in the past, but after doing some searching on the forums, I couldn't find anything relevant to my interests.
We've got the problem of creating internal content and then needing to change the title of the article a few days later at times. The problem comes in, in that when we make a change to the title of an article, it then creates duplicate content in that the old URL (based off the old title) remains, and the new URL (with the new title) is also created and indexed. This is obviously very undesirable for SEO purposes.
Are there any solutions, perhaps plugins or work arounds that would best solve this problem. We want to stray from using 301 redirects and instead find a way for the URL to act independently from the Title field. So that when we make a change to the Title, the URL is unaffected.
The concept would be similar to that of the permalinks feature in wordpress. We would be able to change both the URL link and the title text independently, and not have to worry about duplicate content being created.
Any ideas?
Cheers
