Duplicate content issue with dynamically generated url
-
Hi,
For those who have followed my previous question, I have a similar one regarding dynamically generated urls.
From this page http://www.selectcaribbean.com/listing.html the user can make a selection according to various criteria. 6 results are presented and then the user can go to the next page.
I know I should probably rewrite url's such as these: http://www.selectcaribbean.com/listing.html?pageNo=1&selType=&selCity=&selPrice=&selBeds=&selTrad=&selMod=&selOcean=
but since all the results presented are basically generated on the fly for the convenience of the user, I am afraid google my consider this as an attempt to generate more pages as there are pages for each individual listing.
What is my solution for this? Nofollow these pages? Block them thru robots txt?

When I looked at your site, changing the criteria changed the listings on the page, so each page was unique. However, I'm guessing 100% of the listings can be accessed by just clicking through the pages of results without changing the criteria?
If you decide the best approach is to block the different versions of search results pages, I would consider using the canonical meta tag to specify the canonical (main) version of the page.
