How is this page being excluded from index?
Hi Alex This is exactly the way I guide all my eCommerce clients when they are setting up their product pages. The colour becomes an attribute and sits after the main URL using a # - the URL is therefore non colour specific. the advantage is that you will not have all the colours of a style competing in Google for rank where all the content on the page apart from the colour is duplicate content. I have seen a huge advantage in setting styles up this way. Colour can be a drop down on the page but make sure you tell the developer to list all colours on the category and brand pages otherwise the number of style options can look a bit thin. This site does it well (I set it up) - like you are suggesting - Google stops at the # - no need to mess with parameters. https://www.shoon.com/mens-c108 Good luck Nigel - Carousel Projects

All URLs in the site is 302 redirected to itself
Hey Alex–building from David's note. Without more information (like your site), it's hard to see exactly what's going on, but a few things come to mind: Are you using hreflang tags? If you're not, the 302 redirects may be a workaround that a content editor or dev put in place to get users to their appropriate location on your site. In addition to resolving these redirects, I highly recommend you implement hreflang tags in the of your site's pages so that crawlers know that these different international TLDs are all related. You should definitely remove these redirects, especially if there are versions of these URLs that exist with 200 status codes. There may be a rule in your site's htaccess file (you'll need to talk to your developer and/or server manager to update this), or within meta directives in the tags of your pages.
