What should I do with these duplicate mass production?

[jjtech]

Hi,

I'm reviewing somebodies site and just realized that it's overflown with duplicates. Like these:

<colgroup><col width="3496"></colgroup>
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html |
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=1 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=6 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=7 |

It also produces something like this:

|

<colgroup><col width="3496"></colgroup>
| www.joannalark.com/store/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages.php?pageid=8 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages.php?pageid=8 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages.php?pageid=8 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages.php?pageid=8 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages.php?pageid=8 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages.php?pageid=8 |

I don't know what to do with that and would appreciate any help

Thanks,

Hi JJ,

The usage of canonical tag on the document could help you out.

For ex. in the file: 24%22-Sting.html you can insert the canonical tag

You should insert the canonical tag before the .

This way you will exclude the following pages to be indexed:

| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=1 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=6 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=7 |

Also you will transfer the "link juice" from these pages and focus only on one page: 24%22-Sting.html

I hope it helped,

Istvan
