TOPIC: How to avoid duplicate / multiple URLs

How to avoid duplicate / multiple URLs 11 years, 3 months ago #40739

Dobry Den!

I've got a question here ... Let me give you an example:

I have an article that's directly linked to my main menu. I move it into a different category and add some sub articles as well ... bam, URL changes. Which certainly is a feature and not a bug ...

Here's the thing: Google has a high aversion towards site that have identical articles on different URLs. So, if ...

- xyz.com/abc/z.html
-xyz.com/def/y.html
-xyz.com/ghi/jkl/x.html

... all link to the same page, Google might mark it as SPAM.

My question is: How can I avoid this and how can I setup JoomSEF so only ONE URL links to one article, and all the other URLs don't link directly to the article but act as forwards instead?

Looking forward to your input! And kudos for your great work, looooove JoomSEF ...

Cheers,

Ollie

Hi,
Unfortunately, JoomSEF currently can't handle this automatically when you move an article between categories. Once you move an article, you should manually create a 301 redirection for it.
