Hi guys,
Hope this question is in the right place...
We implemented a url re-writing system on our sitemap page in case our long query strings (3 or 4 parameters) put the spiders off.
However, we didn't implement this across the rest of the site - it would be very fiddely and time consuming.
My concern is that even though it's the same page, if a SE spiders both urls will it think there are two pages on my site with identical content?
How damaging is this in terms of rankings? Anyone have any advice?

You definitely want to exclude all but one set of URLs from the search engines via your robots.txt file.
One of the worst things you can do (unintentionally) is provide the same content via numerous URLs. It will mess with your search listings, rankings and traffic, nearly every time.
(Gonna move this to technology and coding section.)
