Duplicate Content -->?ss=facebook

[Nobody1556552953909]

Hi there,

When searching site:mysite.com my keyword

I found the "same page" twice in the SERP's. The URL's look like this:

Page 1: www.example.com/category/productpage.htm

Page 2: www.example.com/category/productpage.htm**?ss=facebook**

The ?ss=facebook is caused by a bookmark button inserted in some of our product pages. My question is... will the canonical tag do to solve this?

Thanks!

Hi,

Short answer : Yes.

Long answer : You can also use the Google Webmaster Tool or Bing Webmaster Center to tell these engines to ignore this url parameter.

Best regards,
Guillaume Voyer.

Do you use a third-party bookmark button? Are there possibly some options in their settings to help with this?

Thanks Keri.

Yes, it's actually an "Add This" bookmark button provided by them. I'll have a look to the settings options. Thanks again

Thanks Guillaume,

I'll give it a try with GWT and Bing Webmaster Center.

And if their documentation doesn't provide an answer, you can also try a search to see what others have said. Let us know if you need a hand with the canonical tag or can't find info from the bookmark provider.
