I am working on moving my yahoo store. Corecommerce is one solution we are exploring. They way their navigation works, if I list a product in more than one category, it assigns a new url for each location.

For example, http://bayinghound207.corecommerce.c...Lynx-p4.html,1 and http://bayinghound207.corecommerce.c...s-Lynx-p4.html go to the same product.

I am concerned about the SEO implications. I have read that spider bots don't like duplicate content, and this would be exact duplications all over my site.

Does anyone want to weigh in on whether this is a big deal?
