Duplicate Content Problems with the Drupal Quicktabs Module

I'm a big fan of the Quicktabs module, which easily lets you create tabbed content in Drupal.  However, there is an SEO problem that people should be aware of when using it.

On my Pitbulls.org site, I noticed Google indexing multiple versions of the same page.  This is known as duplicate content and it can penalize your rankings. Given that I had already modified my robots.txt file specifically to prevent this type of thing, I was a little confused.

A Form of Google Paid Inclusion?

One of the reasons Yahoo Search is somewhat less trusted in the industry is because they have a paid inclusion system. In order to increase rankings to your site, all you really had to have was enough money. Very simple for people to buy rankings of some form or another. (This is all moot, of course, when Bing takes over their search).
