2. In the showcategory page, the photo URL is this - http://www.fordf150.net/photos/showp...19684/cat/3790
3. On the member's page, the "Last Photo Uploaded" URL looks like this - http://www.fordf150.net/photos/showp...hp?photo=19684
4. When searching on the photo title, the results page has this URL - http://www.fordf150.net/photos/showp...ics/perpage/18

Sure, it all goes the same place. But Google will index it FOUR times and then have to figure out what the "real/right" URL is. That means 4 pageviews instead of 1, and potentially 4x the bandwidth. Make sense?

while serps visit the same URL from 4 places(different URLs) its very difficult to gauge which page shall be taking the PR value..
Note: There are atleast 4 different URLs for same page... that means google PR is shred at 4 different places.

Can we have some ability like permanent links (in wordpress ?)
Morever, we should definetly make the gallery 100% spider-friendly if this wont be a big hurdle ?
