SEO problem: Duplicate content in tags pages (vB3 BUG)
It seems that tag pages lack of a check for navigation like forumdisplay and showthread pages have. This generates a lot of duplicate content which could penalize forums in Google and other search engines:
For example check this page for london tag, as you can see the latest page is 10. http://www.skyscrapercity.com/tags.p...london&page=10 However if you manually edit the number you can generate lot of other pages which will have the same content as page 10: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/tags.p...london&page=50 I have seen Google indexing tons of pages with the same content like this. It seems that vB4 have fixed this issue, because i can't replicate this, instead i get a "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms", but i couldn't find a way to port this. I have been thinking on creating a <link rel="canonical"> tag for these pages however i'm not sure how i can handle this with hooks in tag pages. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks |
