Hybrid page showing in Google search results
-
Hello Mozzers
We have two pages showing on page 1 of Google for the search term 'inset day sessions'
This url is the correct page which we want site visitors to see.
http://www.laughology.co.uk/teacher-workshop-s-inset-days/inset-days
The other page page seems to be a strange hybrid of how the page used to look and the new content we have included. It's a mess and we don't want visitors clicking on this link. There is no menu link to this page on the site, but it is showing as a link In SH404sef

What is the best way to deal with this?
Thanks
Ian

Hi Ian. Can you share some info on your setup? What CMS are you using to manage the site, if any?

HI Joey,
Thanks for the response. We are using Joomla 3 as a CMS and SH404SHF to control URLS.
It looks like on the hybrid page the menu is set-up as a category blog and is displaying all articles in that category. But there is no menu link for that page.
Hope that helps.
Ian

Gotcha. I suspected. BuiltWith didn't pick up Joomla, yet I saw some tell tale Joomla code in there.
Here is an article I think you'll find useful. It's extensive and a well done article on sussing out duplicate URL's in Joomla. http://joomlaseo.com/checklist/avoid-duplicate-url-s. It's the best I've found.

Hi Ian! Did Joey answer your question? If he did, please mark one of his responses as a "Good Answer"—it'll get him some bonus MozPoints, and it helps us keep track of things.
Otherwise, what's still stumping you?
