The reason I have duplicate stuff is because I'm using URL rewriting to serve db content and so the structure allows for some content to be served twice at different addresses.
It's a travel guide site (url in profile) and the problem centres around the accommodation listings portion. Users can get a list of accommodation catergorised by price (cheap, mid range, expensive, all, etc) and from the respective lists they can get a detailed page on the particular guesthouse. The problem revolves around the "all" page (which lists all guesthouses) as if a user requests a detailed profile from the all page, the profile page is identical to the served if they had selected the property from the cheap price range, but the URL is different.
Hence the problem.
At the moment, I'm thinking of adding a no-index command on all the "all" summary pages, thus only the page coming off from the price bracket will appear to Google, but was wondering if anyone has any better suggestions.
Hope the above makes sense.
Thanks in advance

You suggest they may not be the problem - I thought duplicate content was the most common cause of pages listed in Google without description (ie they're not in the index)
