How to avoid duplicate content?
- SEO |
I'm working on the development of a new website and I would like to have some opinions on how to avoid duplicate content.
Duplicate content can be an issue, because:
- The website lists several products in several pages that can be sorted by type, price, colour, material, etc.
- The website also has an internal search engine
My recommendations would be:
- create a "view all" page for each product category, and in every variation generated by the filters apply rel="canonical" to that page
- add a "NOINDEX, FOLLOW" tag to each of the pages generated by internal searches
In your opinion, are these procedures correct?
Now, supposing the filters and the searches only add "#filter" and "#search" to the original URLs. Would the duplicate content still be a problem?
Any help on this would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
