      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:

      **http://**bit.ly/ViYqqn

      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!

          • On our site by mistake some wrong links were entered and google crawled them. We have fixed those links. But they still show up in Not Found Errors. Should we just mark them as fixed? Or what is the best way to deal with them?
