Duplicate content issues, I am running into challenges and am looking for suggestions for solutions. Please help.
Endorsing Jared for the full thread/follow-up. Unfortunately, when it comes to indexing all of these pages, you can't really have your cake and eat it too in 2012. These pages do look thin to Google - honestly, when the results don't change (and I get that that's just because the filters don't always impact the search), then it starts to look like you're just spinning out duplicates to target new keywords in the header. At high volume, that could get you into trouble (and is the kind of thing Panda has targeted). You're right, though, if you canonical these pages, they won't get indexed and ranked. These days, my gut reaction is that the trade-off is worth it. If you focus your ranking power, the core category/neighborhood/etc. pages will get more authority, you'll reduce the risks of thin content, and you'll land search users on core pages that they can use to navigate to the options they want. There's no solution that doesn't involve a trade-off, but I think focusing your index would be a positive trade-off. Keep in mind, too, that Google isn't really that fond of search pages - ultimately, you want them indexing the core property listings. The key is to have clear paths to those listings and to index and ranking prominent category pages. If you try to rank for every variations of ever search/sort/etc., you'll just end up diluting your ranking ability in most cases.

Help with pages Google is labeling "Not Followed"
Hi Joshua - If someone is linking to the www version then it doesnt pass as much juice as it would if it wasnt redirected (theres lots of info on this on the internet with varied options). Overall, most SEO's agree that an inbound link that points directly to a page without being 301 redirected has more of a positive SEO effect. With that being said, in your case Google Webmaster Tools may be detecting this double redirect error simply because there is an external website somewhere linking to the 'www' version. You can find this using OSE or using the WMT by going to CRAWL ERRORS and looking for the sunny-isles url. Clicking on it (if its there) will show who is linking to you and from where. BTW - when did you do the redirects, and how long since you noticed the new url wasnt indexed (and was the old URL indexed?)

Can anyone help me understand why google is "Not Selecting" a large number of my webpages to include when crawling my site.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That makes so much sense. This is also the issue I am having with my communities and cities pages, pointing at my http://luxuryhomehunt.com/homes-for-sale page. Does that make sense?
