Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks a lot for your reply. I already know this extension but it is not what I am looking for.

Hello Dear SeoMoz,

I would like to ask your help with something that I am not sure off. Our ecommerce web site is built with Magento. I have found many problems so far and I know that there will be many more in the future. Currently, I am trying to find the best way to deal with the duplicate content that is produced from the layered navigation (size, gender etc). I have done a lot of research so far in order to understand which might be the best practice and I found the following practices:

• **Block layered navigation URLSs from the Google Webmaster Tools (**Apparently this works for Google Only).
• Block these URLs with the robots.txt file
• Make links no-follow
• **Make links JavaScript from Magento ***
• Avoid including these links in the xml site map.
• Avoid including these link in the A-Z Product Index.
• Canonical tag
• Meta Tags (noindex, nofollow)

Question

If I turn the layered navigation links into JavaScript links from the Magento Admin, the layered navigation links are still found by the crawlers but they look like that:

|

http://www.mysite.com/#

instead of:

http://www.mysite.com/girls-basics.html?gender_filte...

|

Can these new URLS (http://www.mysite.com/# ) solve the duplicate content problems with the layered navigation or do I need to implement other practices too to make sure that everything is done right.

Kind Regards
