DannyS Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I am beginning to suspect that Google might be punishing Oscommerce sites because of duplicate paths to the product pages as these trigger a duplicate filter. At the moment we have both a /product_info.php?products_id=n and a /product_info.php?cpath=n&products_id=n path to the same data. I can see an easy way of removing the cpath from the links on the category pages but what I'm looking for is a way to return a 404 error if Google queries with a /product_info.php?cpath=n&products_id=n URL. Even a "Product not found" page might be better but 404 would be the best. Any ideas of where to start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyS Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 Anyone else being hit hard by the latest Google update? I am looking at two possible causes; the internal product page duplication triggering a filter or a penalty for running the links manager contribution.
