      Hi, i have a serious duplicate page issue and not sure how it happened and i am not sure if anyone will be able to help as my site was built in joomla, it has been done through k2, i have never come across this issue before

      i am seem to have lots of duplicate pages under author names, example

      http://www.in2town.co.uk/blog/diane-walker this page is showing the full articles which is not great for seo and it is also showing that there are hundreds more articles at the bottom

      on the semoz tool i am using, it is showing these as duplicates although there are hundreds of them and it is causing google to see lots of duplicate pages.

        Well I'm not too familiar with joomla but it has something to do with how your site is set up within the CMS tool you're using.

        What is that Diane Walker page? An author page? I'd start by getting to the bottom of what it is and where/how it's drawing content. There aren't any titles on it? What's the deal with that page it looks terrible... Is it auto-generated or did you make it?

        I don't know Joomla but if you can't find the answers to this then you should contact their support team or find a Joomla forum. That is of course if you can't get the answer from anybody here. There may be someone floating around with Joomla experience.

        But you must be able to get into the settings of this page and fix this somehow... you must

          hi, just looking into why one of the authors has all the content going there, very strange and very bad for my rankings. for some reason it seems the person who upgraded the site has got all the content going onto author pages, never had this before so i need to get to the bottom of this
