      We have some internal pages which we have discovered may be causing a duplicate content problem.  Does anyone have a recommendation on the best way to fix this?

      Main page:

      Dupe pages:

      **http://**bit.ly/116uzXe
        **http://**bit.ly/WxyyoW
        **http://**bit.ly/TNxPVm
      http://bit.ly/VMnbuY

      Thanks in advance!

        Add canonical tags to your headers:

        This helps tell Google which version of your content is the original.  You can also tell Google to ignore those query parameters in Google Webmaster Tools:

          You could also make use of robots.txt file to resolve it.

          Disallow: /*?sort=

          NOTE: Be very careful when blocking search engines. Test and test again!
