The paged comments feature new in WordPress 2.7 is handy for reducing page size, but it introduces the search engine optimization (SEO) problem of putting the same content on different permalinks, as some have pointed out. That’s because the complete post would appear at all of these permalinks:
http://example.com/my-post-permalink/
http://example.com/my-post-permalink/comment-page-1/
http://example.com/my-post-permalink/comment-page-2/
My solution in this short plugin is to have all but the main permalink show an excerpt of the post, with a link back to the permalink page.

Alternatively, couldn’t you also tell Google not to index any subsequent comments pages?
What makes that undesirable, in my opinion, is that it de-indexes all the comments on those pages, which is inconsistent if nothing else.
I will use it for my blog in the future as long as this SEO problem is not solved by WordPress crew. Thanks!
I’ve the same problem in my site, using this plugin solves my problem.
Thank You!
You should try the third pingback solution, I think It would be good for everyone
Nice plugin. You should get it added to WordPress.org Plugin repository too.
I’ve added the plugin to the repository. Thanks for the suggestion.
Good post. I’ve used the variable you’re using – cpage – to make the title different on each page by adding ‘- comment page X’ to the end. I explain how here: http://www.malcolmcoles.co.uk/blog/avoid-duplicate-content-paged-comments-wordpress-27/
thanks for the plugin. its work great!
Great plugin, thanks.
I have installed the plugin, but when I want to see the older page comment appears error : Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /home/klinikpj/public_html/wp-includes/query.php on line 27, than the page got blank.
Rudi, I’ve updated the plugin. Try the latest version.
I have tried the latest version, but it seems the plugin get conflict with other plugin. Thanks
I didn’t even think about the paged comments with the new WordPress update. Thanks for keeping me up-to-date on this issue. I am going to install your plugin to my blogs momentarily.
Blessings,
Wendy
This plugin is very nice. Thank you.
Yes! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. As I changed themes, I realized that I was having the comments-page-1, page-2, etc, problem on Chris Pearson’s Neoclassical (least to say it is NOT optimized). I ended up changing to another theme because I had no idea how to fix it. I’ll keep this code around and use when I change themes again.
Thanks Austin!
Half a year on and this plugin of yours is still needed.
