I am a web developer and when i did this
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location","http://www.new-url.com/"
%>http://www.partyrama.co.uk/ said, too many reloads on the page and the page crashed

The 301 redirect is a great solution. You could also use a rel=canonical if for some odd reason a 301 is not possible. See Google's guide here:

Hi Sri
To avoid this issue, in this instance I would use a 301 redirect.
Pick the URL that you would like your website to be, then get ready to redirect the other 3. This will stop Google from indexing all of the extra URLs, removing any duplicate content issue.
You can find a really useful guide on redirection in this Moz post.
If you have a web development team, you can ask them to implement the redirections for you. If not, have a read through that guide very carefully to ensure that you do it correctly.
Hope this helps.

Duplicate content errors
I have multiple duplicate content errors in my crawl diagnostics. The problem is though that i already took care of these problems with the canonical tag but MOZ keeps saying there is a problem. For example this page http://www.letspump.dk/produkter/56-aminosyre/ has a canonical tag, but moz still says it has an error. Why is that?

URL Strucutre
Hi there, Need some advice please on URL structure. I have been doing SEO for quite sometime now, however one thing that always get me is URL structure. I have a decision to make, its either: URL 1 /conditions/allergies/food/ URL 2 /conditions/allergies-food/ Lets say i am optimizing for the key-phase "Food Allergies" what do you think is best practice? I know that this is not a major factor in gaining high SERPs & maybe i'm thinking about it too much, however your input would be really helpful. Kind Regards,
