cmsms - duplicate pages

[jumpspace]

All pages in the site, also appear in the root domain as duplicate pages.
for example:
http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/documentat ... als/pages/
and
http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/pages/
Display the same content, even on this website.

As You know, in terms of SEO is a disaster, some search engines don't like duplicate pages.
In may case, the search engine already had a couple of those pages that as a result of significantly sat positions of these pages.

how to remove duplicate pages?

Use the canonical tag in page head.

Use the canonical tag in page head.

Thank You so much
I used this line,
pulled from official sources of ready-made templates:

Code: Select all

{* canonical url *}
{if isset($canonical)}<link rel="canonical" href="{$canonical}" />{elseif isset($content_obj)}<link rel="canonical" href="{$content_obj->GetURL()}" />{/if}

Also use the Site Map Made Simple module and it will use the correct url for each page. Be sure search engines can find it and it will help make sure your pages are indexed correctly.

@jumpspace those URLs are ones you made up, well the second one, not an actual link anywhere in the innerwebs, bots don't 'guess' URLs they just follow what is on the page/site, so no real duplicate content...
