      Hey Everyone,

      I've started an SEO On Page analysis for a web site and I've found a lot of duplicate content and useless pages.

      What do I have to do?

      Delete this useless page, redirect or do canonical tag? If I have to delete what is the best way to do? Should I use GWT to delete? or just delete from the server?

      This URL for example: http://www.sexshopone.com.br/?1.2.44.0,0,1,13,0,0,aneis-evolved-boss-cock's.html [admin note: NSFW page}

      There is no content and it is duplicate in reference of this:

      http://www.sexshopone.com.br/?1.2.44.0,0,1,12,0,0,aneis-evolved-boss-cock's.html  [admin note: NSFW page}

      and the correct page of the product is:

      http://www.sexshopone.com.br/?1.2.44.0,423,anel-peniano-evolved-boss-cock's-pleasure-rings-collar-white-reutilizavel-e-a-prova-d'agua-colecao-evolved.html  [admin note: NSFW page}

      What is happening is that we have 8.000 pages like this. Useless and without any content.

      How do I proceed?

      Thanks!

        Ctrl + Alt + Delete 😉

        Delete it from the server. You could bother to redirect if you can automate the process. Otherwise don't even bother because nobody would have linked to those pages.

        Especially with Panda, you really want all your pages to be filled with unique content. Not with duplicate content.

          I'd double check you don't have any traffic or links to these pages, then either delete or redirect.

            If I delete the 8.000 pages without content from the server, I still need to do it in Google Web Master Tools?

              No. It will update automatically, so you don't need to manually do it.

                but there is any way to do it automatically? Is there any app I can run and discovery all pages without content and delete them?
