Hi

Am using Joomla for over 2 yrs, there are some issues in Joomla but every issue has a solution attached to it and must say Joomla cms has mind blowing database features

For the stated issue - I see, there are 2 problems to it as mentioned :- Duplicate content and native url. It has one simple and small solution to it

• Use SH404sef to rewrite URL. The site does seems to use native url structure only. Enable SEF URL in Global configuration too. Also, it will enable to provide canonical url too. So, end result will be a clean url with canonical enabling to remove duplicate urls pointing too

Their permalink structure is awful for SEO.  These pages provide very little use for search engines, and should probably be set to "noindex".

As Charles pointed out, Joomla! is not a great platform for a heavy eCommerce site like this.  I would also suggest Magento (although with it's advantages comes disadvantages - for one it's a processing beast and you'll likely need to upgrade to a better hosting company).

Friendly urls and rewrite are both turned on.

Should the Web company know what SH404sef is?

I agree and that is a downer because then all of that content is no good for seo... Is there a quick way to assign those pages to "noindex"?

[Modi]

Yes, Its one of the most popular Joomla extension

(On the link you sent me) I see the Mijo one which is free and the SH404SEF which is commercial.  Will the Mijo one accomplish the same thing?

[Modi]

yes, but they also have a commercial license version

In joomla - due to high customization and coding support - one prefers the version with enabled support

[Atlanta-SMO]

But the best solution is the SH404sef?  We will try this tomorrow and I will report back on how it works.  Do you have any other advice you can give?
