What is the better way to fix duplication https and http?
-
Hi All!
I have a doubt about how to fix the duplication problem https @ http. What is the better way to fix it in your opionion/experience? Me, for instance, I have chosen to put "noindex, nofollow" into https version. Each page of my site has a https version so I put this metarobots into it....But I am not sure about what happens with all backlinks with "https" URLs I have, I've just checked I have some...What do you think about it?
Thanks in advance for helping!

Hi Wissam an CleverPhD!
I am totally agreed with you, actually I'm going to implement this solution.
Metarobots "noindex, nofollow" isn't at all effective, If you already have a lot of HTTPS URLS version indexed....
Thanks!!!

The best way to approach this is 301 redirect https to http through htaccess or web.config for iis

301 redirects is the way to go. If you have a user on the wrong page, it forwards them to the correct one. Link equity is passed as well.
The noindex nofollow will help get whatever version you want out of the SERPs, but it does not fix it from happening again.

Duplicate content issue
Hi, A client of ours has one URL for the moment (https://aalst.mobilepoint.be/) and wants to create a second one with exactly the same content (https://deinze.mobilepoint.be/). Will that mean Google punishes the second one because of duplicate content? What are the recommendations?

Duplicate Content from Wordpress Template
Hi Wondering if anyone can help, my site has flagged up with duplicate content on almost every page, i think this is because the person who set up the site created a lot of template pages which are using the same code but have slightly different features on. How would I go about resolving this? Would I need to recode every template page they have created?

Duplicate Content
Hello guys, After fixing the rel tag on similar pages on the site I thought that duplicate content issue were resolved. I checked HTML Improvements on GWT and instead of going down as I expected, it went up. The duplicate issues affect identical product pages which differ from each other just for one detail, let's say length or colour. I could write different meta tags as the duplicate is the meta description, and I did it for some products but still didn't have any effects and they are still showing as duplicates. What would the problem be? Cheers
