URL Understanding -

[PremioOscar]

Hello everyone!

Can anyone help me understanding this url?

Product.asp?PID=1236

cheers

Hi!

The URL Product.asp?PID=1236 redirects to a more semantic("user friendly") URL. Or did you perhaps think of something else?

Hope this helps

It does redirect to a user friendly url but I have no idea what that url represents. Also it causes duplicate issues with the site.

[AndersS]

It appear to do a redirect to a URL within the product-folder, add the product name as a subfolder, and add the SKU# as the last part of the URL.

The two URLs should not cause any duplicate issues, as the http://www.repsole.com/Product.asp?PID=1236 does a proper 301 Redirect to the user friendly URL..

Best regards,
Anders

Thanks for your help!

I am going to look into it but I have so many like it within GWT.

I will talk to the developer and see what he says.

Cheers

Hi Anders,

I checked and there are redirects on those pages but why in GWT appears as duplicate title tag and description?

[AndersS]

Hi Oscar.

Is the redirect rule somewhat new? Perhaps the /Product.asp?PID=1236 was indexed before and GoogleBot has not yet made another visit to this page?

The Google bot did visit the page and i don't think this is a new rule, it has been done before. How can I get Google Bot to crawl my pages?

[AndersS]

Perhaps you could submit (or resubmit) a XML sitemap, alternatively use the "fetch as Googlebot" for the "old" URL. That way, Googlebot should see the redirect.

Good luck.
