So if I have a static page that is using a bit of AJAX to change a picture when clicked on a link, then by Google indexing this, it would generate me x pages of duplicate content because everything on the page is the same apart from the photo.

So if I remain to use # (i.e. do not implement #!), would this mean that in this way I can avoid the duplicate content?

Or would it require extensive use of rel="canonical" on such pages?

Or basically, what I am asking is will the pages that use AJAX but not change # into #! still be ignored and not indexed by Google, as in this case it is within the user control whether they want the page with changed state using AJAX indexed or not?
