How to fix duplicated urls

[Melia]

I have an issue with duplicated pages. Should I use cannonical tag and if so, how?

Or should change the page titles?

This is causing my pages to compete with each other in the SERPs.

I would look into why your site is generating multiple urls for the same page first - so far it would seem the duplication is occurring because of the query string being appended to the url.

If you can prevent that - the next thing is to use the canon tag to point the duplicate pages at the original, and on the dupe pages add a "follow noindex" tag - this means you will be telling google that you know this page exists and you are aware it is the same as another page, and tell them which page it is you actually mean.

The canon tag should be in the head, and have the full url of the original page that you want to rank.

The duplication of the page is the issue here - changing your titles will only mask it for a few days.
