How to get the same page indexed twice

April 7th, 2008 Jason Posted in Google, theatre |

OK, I can’t actually tell you how this has happened, I’ve just noticed that it has.

My wife does a London theatre blog. I was looking up her past performing search terms, and then looking around to see what the competition was.

Looking through the results for her current all-time top search term, I found a listing for an entry in another blog.

And then I found it again.

Same page. Same URL, same title/meta information, etc. etc. etc. The only difference I find is that the last-modified-since header is 2 seconds different between them. Now, I’ve seen Google index things really quickly, but that’s a little hard to swallow.

So. Why does Google list it twice, as if it is two unique pages? Inquiring minds want to know.

(It’s a great writeup of a great show, by the way.)
