I just came across an article on www.websitemagazine.com about <link> tags being used to minimize the problem of duplicate content. Anyone know of a module or manageable techinique to add URL information to the header within a <link> tag?

I took a closer look at that module and it's just the Global Redirect Module with a couple of extra lines in it.

Dupe Content

Isn't it easier and less bloated to use .htaccess + robots.txt to eliminate duplicate content? No need to add extra code on each page just to prevent duplicate content.

I agree... I don't think it's important on most Drupal sites. Most duplicate content on Drupal sites comes from robots.txt problems.
