What to do with duplicated pages with params in the url?
- SEO |
Firstly, Merry Christmas 2016!! =)
I have a situation with my website.
It is about an SEO mistake that I made during the development of the site, which is related to the GET parameter.
I have the following url format:
domain.com/items?orderby=name&order=asc
However, I did not set the canonical nor noindex to the URL format above, hence now the pages displayed in Google is the combination of the url above, something like:
domain.com/items?orderby=name&order=asc
domain.com/items?orderby=name&order=desc
domain.com/items?orderby=date&order=asc
domain.com/items?orderby=date&order=desc
I do not need the pages above to display in Google, since it hurts the other important pages.
My question is,
how should I deal with this?
Should I set 'noindex' to all of the pages above?
or
Should I set 'canonical' linkrel to /items?
I am not sure what the good / bad side of each are?
Can you please help me with this?
Please advise.
Thank you
Kind regards,
Ron
