Another option for dealing with duplicate content is to use the rel=canonical attribute. This tells search engines that a given page should be treated as though it were a copy of a specified URL, and all of the links, content metrics, and "ranking power" that search engines apply to this page should actually be credited to the specified URL.
The rel="canonical" attribute is part of the HTML head of a web page and looks like this:
<head>...[other code that might be in your document's HTML head]...<link href="URL OF ORIGINAL PAGE" rel="canonical" />...[other code that might be in your document's HTML head]...</head>
<head>...[other code that might be in your document's HTML head]...<link href="URL OF ORIGINAL PAGE" rel="canonical" />...[other code that might be in your document's HTML head]...</head>
