: Category to page and blocking category URL via robots.txt - good for SEO? I am using a template which in the pages it allows me to add sidebars / more content under and above the content

I am using a template which in the pages it allows me to add sidebars / more content under and above the content I want to pull from a category which is very helpful.

If I create pages to display my categories content wont the page URLs go in conflict with the category URLs? By conflict I mean causing a duplicate content error?

What I thought might help was to block from robots.txt the category URLs of the blog ex. /category/books /category/music

Would that be a good practice in order to avoid the duplicate content penalty?

Best usage is using canonical URLs from the page you won't to not be so "pretty" to the "pretty" ones I found this to be in other words something like a small 301 redirect.

Here is a video from Google's Matt Cutts that helped me:


I hope it helps others in the same situation as I was.
