How to determine URL Parameters in Google Webmaster

[paumer80]

Hi there!

I have a new website with so many duplicate meta titles and descriptions because of its expanded features from the e-commerce shopping cart that I am using like mobile website, product sorting, etc. Aside from canonical, is it advisable to use the URL parameters from Google webmaster tools to disallow crawling of mobile website and other parameters like, "parent", "catalogsetview", "pcsid", "pg" "mode".  I appreciate and advise. Thanks!

Yes, indeed. As you know, Google wants to filter out pages that generally have the same content. By helping them, it will ultimately help everyone.

For us, we have separate parameters for tracking purposes. The pages are all the same (except for a tracking phone#) and we update the .htaccess file, as well as webmaster tools to not index these extra pages.

Let us assume that I have already processed all URL parameters on Google Webmaster tools. The question is will SEOMOZ see those URL Parameters changes or they will override this?

• Sorry for the confusion. To answer my own question, those URL parameter I presume will only work for Google. It is a way to tell Google not to crawl those URLs. If I let seomoz crawl my website, what should I do to let Seomoz bypass those unnecessary URLs? I am not really an SEO Guro but I am willing to learn.
