Duplicate Title and Content. How to fix?
-
So this is the biggest error I have.
But I don't know how to fix it. I get that I have to make it so that the duplicats redirect to the source, but I don't know how to do that.
For example, this is out of our crawl diagnostic:

On The Block - Page 3
http://www.maddenstudents.com/forumdisplay.php?57-On-The-Block/page3 1 1 0 On The Block - Page 3
http://www.maddenstudents.com/forumdisplay.php?57-On-The-Block/page3&s=8d631e0ac09b7a462164132b60433f98 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
That's just an example. But I have over 1000+ like that. How would I go about fixing that? Getting rid of the "&s=8d631e0ac09b7a462164132b60433f98"?
I have godaddy as my domain and web hoster. Could they be able to fix it?

Hello there,
If it is a duplicate content/title for different pages you just have to write new ones for each page.
If you have this issue because you have similar pages such as similar product pages you might want to use the rel=canonical and tell Google that those page are similar and it will not consider as a duplicate.
If you have like different pages such as page1,2,3 and so on, and the title tag and description are the same, you might look at the pagination tag

Hi Taimoor,
I think it might be URL Parameters see:

In webmaster tools -> crawl -> url parameters.
Hope it works,

I checked my webmaster, and it said that I didn't have to do anything with url parameters. Should I still try to fix it?
