Hi,

We have over 5000 pages showing under

Overly-Dynamic URL error

Our ecommerce site uses Ajax and we have several different filters like, Size, Color, Brand and we therefor have many different urls like,

http://www.dellamoda.com/Designer-Pumps.html?sort=price&sort_direction=1&use_selected_filter=Y

http://www.dellamoda.com/Designer-Accessories.html?sort=title&use_selected_filter=Y&view=all

http://www.dellamoda.com/designer-handbags.html?use_selected_filter=Y&option=manufacturer%3A&page3

Could we use the robots.txt file to disallow these from showing as duplicate content? and do we need to put the whole url in there?

like:

Disallow: /*?sort=price&sort_direction=1&use_selected_filter=Y

if not how far into the url should be disallowed?

So far we have added the following to our robots,txt

Disallow: /?sort=title

Disallow: /?use_selected_filter=Y

Disallow: /?sort=price

Disallow: /?clearall=Y

Just not sure if they are correct.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,Kami

Hi, We sort of have the same issue, We have over 5000 pages with the same issues actually. Our ecommerce site uses several different filter (Using Ajax) and we have many different urls like,

http://www.dellamoda.com/Designer-Pumps.html?sort=price&sort_direction=1&use_selected_filter=Y

http://www.dellamoda.com/Designer-Accessories.html?sort=title&use_selected_filter=Y&view=all

http://www.dellamoda.com/Designer-Accessories.html?sort=title&sort_direction=1&use_selected_filter=Y

Could we use the robots.txt file to disallow these as well? and do we need to put the whole url in there?

like:

Disallow: /*?sort=price&sort_direction=1&use_selected_filter=Y

if not how far into the url should be disallowed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Tony
