I added your suggestion to robots.txt and requested a crawl again.

I only have 3 pages with dublicate page content now

So your suggestion seemes to have worked.

Thanks for your reply.. it worked!

Hello everyone

I have the following link:

I want to prevent google from indiexing everything that is related to "view=send_friend"

The problem is that its giving me dublicate content, and the content of the links has no SEO value of any sort.

My problem is how i disallow it correctly via robots.txt

I tried this syntax:

Disallow: /view=send_friend/

However after doing a crawl on request the 200+ dublicate links that contains view=send_friend is still present in the CSV crawl report.

What is the correct syntax if i want to prevent google from indexing everything that is related to this kind of link?

I just tried to add

Disallow: /view=send_friend

I removed the last /

however a crawl gave me the dublicate content problem again.

Is my syntax wrong?

teleman

So my link example would look like this in robots.txt?

Disallow: /index.php?option=com_redshop&view=send_friend&pid=&tmpl=component&Itemid=

Or

Disallow: /view=send_friend/

I recently started out on Seomoz and is trying to make some cleanup according to the campaign report i received.

One of my biggest gripes is the point of "Dublicate Page Content".

Right now im having over 200 pages with dublicate page content.

Now.. This is triggerede because Seomoz have snagged up auto generated links from my site.

My site has a "send to freind" feature, and every time someone wants to send a article or a product to a friend via email a pop-up appears.

Now it seems like the pop-up pages has been snagged by the seomoz spider,however these pages is something i would never want to index in Google.

So i just want to get rid of them.

Now to my question

I guess the best solution is to make a general rule via robots.txt, so that these pages is not indexed and considered by google at all.

But, how do i do this? what should my syntax be?

A lof of the links looks like this, but has different id numbers according to the product that is being send:

http://mywebshop.dk/index.php?option=com_redshop&view=send_friend&pid=39&tmpl=component&Itemid=167

I guess i need a rule that grabs the following and makes google ignore links that contains this:

view=send_friend
