Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have announced a new tag in web-page header. It is placed on duplicate content pages and advises spiders on original content link. This solves the issue of having multiple URLs with duplicate content. How to: add the tag: on all duplicate pages headers. More on new tag by Vanessa Fox Search Engine Land.

On the topic googler JohnMu said the following:
