Google and duplicate URLs
I’m having a problem with my Txp site where Google Webmaster Tools is reporting duplicate URLs and I wanted to find out if anyone else has seen this. My site is over here
As you can see, Textpatttern is installed in /txp/ (historical reason for doing this) but, whilst Google has indexed everything, it’s also reporting duplicate (and weird) URLs like this:
/txp//txp/ and this /txp//txp/?pg=10 etc etc.
These both “work” but I cannot figure out how Google is getting these from the site (unless it is getting these from somewhere else).
Many thanks if you can help.

Re: Google and duplicate URLs
I know that there’s a solution with canonical (see here) but the way I do it is by using zem_redirect and an htaccess rule to add www to all pages.

Re: Google and duplicate URLs
Thanks. I have added/amended canonical links now.
I don’t really know if this is the cause of the Google double URL issue so any other feedback from anyone is much appreciated.

Re: Google and duplicate URLs
zem_redirect, redirects all (most) urls to the ones you specify in the schema. If you go to http://www.neme.org/237/poetic or http://www.neme.org/237/ or http://neme.org/237 (try different combinations) you will find that all will redirect to http://www.neme.org/237/poetic-terrorism. It does the job seamlessly and I think that google likes it too:)
