Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi there -

Some of our dynamically generated product URLs somehow are showing up in SEOmoz as two different URLs even though they are the same page- one with a %28 and one with a

e.g.,

http://www.company.com/ProductX-(-etc/

http://www.company.com/ProductX-(-etc/

Also, some of the URLs are duplicated with a "/" at the end of them.

Does Google penalize us for these duplicate URLs? Should we add canonical tags to all of them?

Finally, our development team is claiming that they are not generating these pages, and that they are being generated from facebook/pinterest/etc. which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Is that right?

Thanks!

Hi -

Another restriction -  we only want to redirect one of the anchor pages.

e.g., www.website.com/#training1 - we would want to redirect this.

www.website.com/#training2 - we would NOT want to redirect this.

Is this possible?

Hi there -

My web developer is saying that I can't do a URL redirect with a "#" in it. Currently, the URL is actually an anchored link within a page (which the URL indicates with a #). I want to change the content to a new URL, but our website links internally to the old URL, so we would need to do a URL redirect (assume 301).

Can you tell me if this is possible and how?

Thanks!
