Crawl Diagnostics - nofollow - reducing duplicate pages
Hi I'm looking at a crawl diagnostic report, I can see I have many duplicate pages, the reason for this is that when a brand filter is applied to a page. IE
Moz Bar | | chameleondm
www.mysite.com/mycategory - lets say this is the product listing page
www.mysite.com/category/mybrand - and this is the same page but with a brand filter applied
www.mysite.com/category/myotherbrand - and this is the same page but with a different brand filter applied I had intially appendeded the meta title, description and keywords with some extra content if a brand filter was applied, because the page on the whole does have different content. IE I would have a custom meta information, H1 tag and products on that page just for that specific brand.
However I am wondering if these two pages are really just competing with each other as lots of the content will be the same. Should I scrap that approach and use either nofollow on the brand filter link, or simply use a canonical. Thanks, James1
