Dynamic Url best approach

[Direct_Ram]

Hi

We are currently in the process of making changes to our travel site where by if someone does a search this information can be stored and also if the user needs to can take the URL and paste into their browser at find that search again.

The url will be dynamic for every search, so in order to stop duplicate content I wanted ask what would be the best approach to create the URLS. ** An example of the URL is: **

package-search/holidays/hotelFilters/?depart=LGW&arrival=BJV&sdate=20150812&edate=20150819&adult=2&child=0&infant=0&fsearch=first&directf=false&nights=7&tsdate=&rooms=1&r1a=2&r1c=0&r1i=0&&dest=3&desid=1&rating=&htype=all&btype=all&filter=no&page=1

I wanted to know if people have previous experience in something like this and what would be the best option for SEO.

• Will we need to create the URL with a # ( As i read this stops google crawling after the #)
• Block the folder IN ROBOTS

is there any other areas I should be aware of in order stop any duplicate content and 404 pages once the URL/HOLIDAY SEARCH is no longer valid.

thanks

Canonical tags would be the most important thing to look at for your dynamic URLs. As long as each of your dynamic pages has a canonical tag to the static version of the page (i.e. package-search/holidays/hotelFilters/) then you won't have to worry about duplicate content.
