      The problem I am having is that the web crawlers are seeing all my category pages as the same page thus creating duplicate content and duplicate title errors. At this time I have  270 of these critical errors to deal with. Here is an example:

      http://www.baysidejewelry.com/category/1-necklaces.aspx

      http://www.baysidejewelry.com/category/1-necklaces.aspx?pageindex=1

      http://www.baysidejewelry.com/category/1-necklaces.aspx?pageindex=2

      http://www.baysidejewelry.com/category/1-necklaces.aspx?pageindex=3

      http://www.baysidejewelry.com/category/1-necklaces.aspx?pageindex=4

      All of these pages are see as the same exact page by the crawlers. Because these pages are generated by a SQL database I don't have a way I know of to fix it.

        Sounds like you need canonical tags on these pages, if you need those URLs to have those parameters on them (so you can't redirect them).  There was just another question in the forum about putting canonical tags on aspx pages here.

        If you have no idea what a canonical tag is, read these first:

          It turns out the canonical feature was not turned on in my global settings for my category pages. We should do better on t he next crawl. Thanks
