Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Cyrus,

Thanks for your reply!

Unfortunately the problem is yet to be fixed, I hope that my disallow will work shortly.

It seems that most of the index.php links to each other internally (and from old /index.php/ pages that no longer exist), which is super weird. How google found them does not make any sense to me.

I don't beleive that external sources are linking to these pages either - I mean, how would they find these links anyway?.

Well, I tried the sensible solution and redirecting to the correct URL instead. However the SEF program is quite limited and keep on creating new URLs regardless of my modification. Im looking for a more permanent solution, and the disallow seems at bit simple as I'm not a super programmer.

By the way - thanks for quick replys, kudos to both of you!

Sure, the website in question is www.vauni.dk

I don't think that there is any inbound links to the index.php pages. They are not easily found.

Hi SEOmoz,

I have a problem with my Joomla site (yeah - me too!). I get a large amount of /index.php/ urls despite using a program to handle these issues. The URLs cause indexation errors with google (404). Now, I fixed this issue once before, but the problem persist. So I thought, instead of wasting more time, couldnt I just disallow all paths containing /index.php/ ?.

I don't use that extension, but would it cause me any problems from an SEO perspective?

How do I disallow all index.php's? Is it a simple: Disallow: /index.php/
