Gallery system creates duplicates
-
Hi,
Does anybody know what can I do with those “duplicate content pages”?
1/ home page shows 4 different urls with different parameters. Should I use meta-robots tag to eliminate it? Or block it in robots.txt?

2/ Also, there are dozens of duplicates created by the “gallery system”. Like this:

All showing for the same url. There are multiple pages for each location. Some people told me that it's irrelevant for rankings anyway.
I suggested getting rid of flash website alltogether and getting a smooth wordpress installation, but it's not an option.
Can you please help me with it?
Best Regards,
JJ

As to the homepage question, make sure you have your preferred domain set in Webmaster Tools (i.e. WWW vs Non-WWW). Pick whether your homepage should have a trailing slash or not. Have all basic iterations of that redirect to your chosen variation (e.g. homepage.com, homepage.com, www.homepage.com/index.php all redirect to www.homepage.com). If those parameters shown in your image don't significantly change the look or information on the page but are necessary then consider adding canonicals from all parametered versions of the homepage to the regular version of the page.

Sorry, I somehow missed your response.
thanks for your advise, I'm aware of the problem.Whole site should be replaced with something more up-to-date and this is the direction I'm trying to push them.
