    SEO Issues - Duplicate Homepage

    The site's homepage seems to have duplicate Homepage title when you try to sort/view ads according to name, price value, location and date. Wil this be viewed by google as duplicate contents? Homepage has 9 different urls.

    The same title:

    ClassiPress Demo|A classified ads system powered by WordPress

    Can be found on the following homepage address:

    http://wpclassipress.com/demo/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
    http://wpclassipress.com/demo/?sort=met ... order=desc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
    http://wpclassipress.com/demo/?sort=title&order=desc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
    http://wpclassipress.com/demo/?sort=met ... order=desc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
    http://wpclassipress.com/demo/?sort=date&order=desc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
    http://wpclassipress.com/demo/?sort=met ... &order=asc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
    http://wpclassipress.com/demo/?sort=title&order=asc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
    http://wpclassipress.com/demo/?sort=met ... &order=asc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
    http://wpclassipress.com/demo/?sort=date&order=asc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

    All of which has the same contents.

    How do we/I remove all this sorting pages? It seems that bili.ph have disabled this feature.

    Re: SEO Issues - Duplicate Homepage

    Good question.

    ClassiPress isn't the first site with sortable querystring links and Google is pretty smart to determine that it's not duplicate content.

    Regardless, if you want to specifically tell Google not to follow these types of links, you can add a disallow to your robots.txt file.

    Code:
    User-agent: Googlebot
    Disallow: /*?sort
    For more information, you can see Google's guidelines.
