Question about Indexing of /?limit=all

[RobAus]

Hi, i've got your SEO Suite Ultimate installed on my site (www.customlogocases.com).

I've got a relatively new magento site (around 1 year).

We have recently been doing some pr/seo for the category pages, for example /custom-ipad-cases/

But when I search on google, it seems that google has indexed the /custom-ipad-cases/?limit=all

This /?limit=all page is one without any links, and only has a PA of 1. Whereas the standard /custom-ipad-cases/ without the /? query has a much higher pa of 20, and a couple of links pointing towards it. So therefore I would want this particular page to be the one that google indexes. And along the same logic, this page really should be able to achieve higher rankings than the /?limit=all page.

Is my thinking here correct? Should I disallow all the /? now, even though these are the ones that are indexed, and the others currently are not. I'd be happy to take the hit while it figures it out, because the higher PA pages are what I ultimately am getting links to...

Thoughts?

Hi

Google is being nice & is doing exactly what you ask it to do.

Example: http://www.customlogocases.com/custom-motorola-phone-cases-printed-logo/ - in the source you put:

rel="canonical" href="http://www.customlogocases.com/custom-motorola-phone-cases-printed-logo/?limit=all"/>

So - you ask google to show http://www.customlogocases.com/custom-motorola-phone-cases-printed-logo/?limit=all in the search results rather than http://www.customlogocases.com/custom-motorola-phone-cases-printed-logo/

Update the canonical & remove the limit=all & the problem will be solved.

Thanks Dirk for your information, that was exactly what I needed.
