Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

Im working for the first time on a magento webshop.  But i run into a problem where crawlers find then thousands of pages while there are a few hunderd products.

I expect is has something to do with filters that generate dynamic URL's.  I can't find any setting in Magento to prevent this and i think this will hurt SEO performance because  of duplicate content and high amount of pages that need to be crawled while the site has no authority.

What would my approach be to solve this? Do i need to ad certain tags to the pages or are these settings in my robots file.

I did do a little experiment a few days ago to see if i could let my reviews show up on a 10 point scale instead of 5 point scale. I changed the rating value and added "bestRating" to the script. The testing tool showed no errors on this script. This could be related to this issue or could be pure coincidence.

I changed it back to its original state, we will what happens.

btw no other company in my niche is using review data. So we where unique in this.

And here a list of the agencies or google partners that are trusted bij Google. Thats what i meant bij third parties / agencies that are hosting reviews. I'm using one of them. When reaching the 150 reviews they should add review markup automaticly to my adwords campaigns also. btw they where not saying reviews markup is no longer used, they mentiod getting a lot of complaints lately of customers saying google didnt gave them they yellow stars in search results anymore.

Hi Tim,

Thnx for replying, and i'm fully aware of the fact that its up to google to use the markup or not. I 'm hoping this is just a temporary thing. But what caused me to to post this here, is that the agency that is hosting the review tool mentioned they got a high number of questions / complains about this since 2 weeks now.

Hi all,

I have been collecting reviews for a little while now. Ofcourse im hoping to cross the 150 reviews border soon

But i also added the review markup to my website to show up in organic results. This was working fine for a while. I did not added the markup to my homepage. But now for somehow google is not showing this review markup anymore in search results. So i decided to give the company that is hosting the review tool (google partner also) a call. The informed me that they had a lot of calls and e-mails since 2 weeks from their customers. All with the same problem that review markup is not used in search results anymore.

Anyone else had this, or know about this issue?
