URL parameters causing duplicate content errors

[NiftySon]

My ISP implemented product reviews. In doing so, each page has a possible parameter string of ?wr=1.

I am not receiving duplicate page content and duplicate page title errors for all my product URLs. The report shows the base URL and the base URL?wr=1.

My ISP says that the search engines won't have a problem with the parameters and a check of Google Webmaster Tools for my site says I don't have any errors and recommends against configuring URL parameters.

How can I get SEOmoz to stop reporting these errors?

You always have to remember that it is more important how the search engines view your site than your SEO reporting tools.

If you see the search engines having any problems with duplicate pages being indexed, do these steps.

1. Use Google Webmaster Tools to Ignore the Parameters (?wr=1)

2. Use the canonical tag on the pages with this parameter added to reflect the regular URL

3. Make sure you link internally/externally to the canonical version of your page

So far I have not found a way to exclude that from the SEOmoz scan of the website.

The good news is the GWT doesn't show duplicate content errors like SEOmoz does.  If anything you can send a feature request to see if that can get taken care of.
