Duplicate content (duplicate pages)
« on: March 15, 2009, 09:56:16 AM »
site.com/details.php?image_id=22 and site.com/details.php?image_id=22&mode=search has duplicate content. Don't you think this may cause troubles with the search engines?

I want to disallow site.com/details.php?image_id=22&mode=search to be indexed. Can I do this by writing
Code: [Select]
User-agent: *
Disallow: /search.php
Disallow: /*&mode=search$in robots.txt?

because there is no guerantee that mode=search will the last item in the url
if anything this should be better:
Code: [Select]
Disallow: /*&mode=search(&|$)

CAn you tell me V@no if there are bad things to disallowing google bots to use search.php ?

Will this lower the content indexed or have other negative effects?

the correct way to avoid search pages indexing in google is

add
Disallow: /*search.htm$

to robots.txt
