Vilas Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Hello Friends, I have checked my site using Google webmaster tool. In that its showing that if you have more than 20 products per page then for second page its considering it as duplicate meta description. Can any one aware solution of it? Below is the comment that I can see. Pages with duplicate meta descriptions Dual Sim Mobile Phone - Buy Online |Reviews |Specification |Price List[/color] /5-dual-sim-mobiles /5-dual-sim-mobiles?n=10&orderby=name&orderway=desc&p=4 /5-dual-sim-mobiles?n=10&p=10 /5-dual-sim-mobiles?n=10&p=11 /5-dual-sim-mobiles?n=10&p=14 /5-dual-sim-mobiles?n=10&p=2&orderby=price&orderway=asc /5-dual-sim-mobiles?n=10&p=7 /5-dual-sim-mobiles?n=10&sid=6dc30c9d2489728e7ea499b02cda31cc&p=7 /5-dual-sim-mobiles?n=10&sid=dc11edd9586d8b4319f7e12dae27398b&orderby=price&orderway=asc&p=4 /5-dual-sim-mobiles?n=20&orderby=price&orderway=asc /5-dual-sim-mobiles?n=20&p=6 /5-dual-sim-mobiles?n=20&p=7 /5-dual-sim-mobiles?n=20&sid=175fa09d11a257c93396088b709fdcd4&p=3 /5-dual-sim-mobiles?n=20&sid=2e9d07910f66958846f22f082d4e4d35&orderby=price&orderway=asc&p=2 /5-dual-sim-mobiles?n=24&p=5 Thanks Edited June 28, 2013 by Vilas (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alastairbrian Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 There are two option either disallow or simply leave it disallow - Block all the links that are created by applying product filter Leave it - It will not hurt your rankings as Google knows it but still better to disallow. I am an seo expert as well and I use to block these pages and I have relalized by experience that Google loves this. To block add this in your robots.txt file Disallow: /*n= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
