Hi guys, I'm working on a site which wi'll be very spider friendly with product url's like: http://www.example.be/client/nl/products/100/Presonus-BlueMax-Rack-adapter.html Now we have a link on each page which ads a variable to the url to show/hide an 'advanced search form' so the url will become: http://www.example.be/client/nl/products/100/Presonus-BlueMax-Rack-adapter.html?d=on I'm wondering if Google/yahoo/MSN/ ... will considder this to be 2 different pages with the potential danger that they'll flag the page as duplicate content while it's the same page with an advanced search form. thanks in advance, Bart | Percept
Google will choose one page to cache and will filter any duplicate as long as you only have backlinks pointing to the original. Do not link advanced pages in navigation and do not place them on sitemap. Google will distinguish the relevant pages and filter out the rest. D
A good idea is to put meta tag NOINDEX on pages you don't want index. Looks like you're using script so it would be easy to add that depending on the variable you pass to the script. _________________ PHP Hosting | Pagerank Checker Tool | Reliable Dedicated Servers | Web Master Resource Center
