So ... google came to the website i am trying to build-up ... and it's starting to re-index the default page, over and over again ... with urls like:
Quote: http://softgroups.com/
www.softgroups.com/
www.softgroups.com/index.php
www.softgroups.com/index.php?c=b
www.softgroups.com/?query=go.ro Is this bad? because it's dublicated content... even if google don't update the title tag so often as the content...
Can I do anything to prevent that mess? until you finish the construction you can setup:
1) in the header: <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
2) on the server: create a file robots.txt write
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
3) google webmasters have option where you can setup the url which you don't want to be visited by google Quote: Originally Posted by web7 until you finish the construction you can setup:

Can I do anything to prevent that mess? It is not Google's fault per say this is happening. It's the programming and set up of your site.
a) Pick one version of your domain name to use and 301 permanent redirect the other version to it.
b) Somewhere you have www.softgroups.com/index.php referenced in the navigation of your pages. Usually the home page link and any reference to the home page. Fix the background coding to use only the domain name with an / at the end.
c) This one www.softgroups.com/index.php?c=b looks like PHP coding to fetch specific contents from the database and insert into the template. Common problem with dynamic sites and should be fixed to use search engine friendly urls. 301 redirection is best solutions in this condition or you can also go with conical tag for your site. and don’t thin to with any robot tag that can be harmful hi
use robot.txt unless and utill you are done with the editing. I had a similar issue with a website that I was working with. I used a 301 redirect for the duplicate pages. It took several weeks, but eventually only the original index page showed up in the search results. you must use a Canocalization for making a Canonical URL . and use 301 redirection.
