Filter Tag Duplicate Content E-Commerce Issue

[kylehungate]

Hello,

I just launched a new site for a client but am seeing some duplicate content issues in the campaign crawl. It has to do with the drill-down, filter "tags" that helps users find the product they are looking for. You can see them in the sidebar here: http://www.ssmd.com/shop/

In my crawl report this is what is showing up as duplicate content (attached image). How do I keep these widgets from generating duplicate content on the site?

Also, not sure if it's important or not, but I am using Wordpress, WooCommerce and Yoast's SEO Tool.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi Kyle

Had a similar issue with a site that used filters (CS Cart) and used the robots.txt file to resolve it.

Mine ended up being quite extensive but as an example:

Disallow: /?more_filters=
Disallow: /?subcats=
Disallow: /*?features_hash=

Looking at your screenshot you may be successful with:

Disallow: /*?filter_

NOTE:

Be very careful when blocking search engines. Test and test again!

You may also be able to accomplish this via the taxonomies section of SEO Yoast.
