Drupal duplicate pages
-
Anyone else encountered massive numbers of duplicate pages being reported on SEO Moz crawls for Drupal based sites?
I assumed it was b/c there was no redirect on the print format pages, so I fixed that with a cannonical tag. But still seeing 2 or 3 duplicate pages reported for many pages.
Any experience fixing this would be awesome to hear about.
Thanks,
Kevin

You need to do a complete 301 redirect in addition to a cannonical tag you can use a tool like this to create a 301 redirect I am giving you more than one choice because if you are using lightspeed, Apache, it will be different than if you are using Nginx

I hope I've been of help,

First off make sure that you are using htaccess to redirect to either www or without www. Be aware that EVERYTIME you update Drupal core that you may override this file and it revert back to the default file. I make this mistake often.
If you want to share your site I can take a look other than that the canonical should take care of the rest.
