A few months ago I dropped from page 1 in Google for my #1 keyword. I have been finding small things along the way, one item has just come to the surface which I do NOT know how to handle or stop.
I have multiple versions of the same page with a different url indexed in google. I noticed that my storemap generates a completely different url for catgeories and products.
I have found the following urls for many categories
http://www.cigarsdirect.com/ProductCart/pc/viewcategories.asp?idCategory=52&pageStyle=M - http://www.cigarsdirect.com/ProductCart/pc/viewcategories.asp?idCategory=52&pageStyle=M
http://www.cigarsdirect.com/ProductCart/pc/viewcategories.asp?idCategory=52 - http://www.cigarsdirect.com/ProductCart/pc/viewcategories.asp?idCategory=52
http://www.cigarsdirect.com/ProductCart/pc/viewcategories.asp?idCategory=52 - http://www.cigarsdirect.com/ProductCart/pc/viewcategories.asp?idCategory=52
http://www.cigarsdirect.com/productcart/pc/viewCategories.asp?pageStyle=M&idCategory=52 - http://www.cigarsdirect.com/productcart/pc/viewCategories.asp?pageStyle=M&idCategory=52
the following are example of 4 urls for the same product
http://www.cigarsdirect.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=3462 - http://www.cigarsdirect.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=3462
http://www.cigarsdirect.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=391&idproduct=3462 - http://www.cigarsdirect.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=391&idproduct=3462 http://www.cigarsdirect.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=3462 - http://www.cigarsdirect.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=3462 http://www.cigarsdirect.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=&idproduct=3462 - http://www.cigarsdirect.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=&idproduct=3462
Can someone please tell me how to cure this issue. I have noticed in many cases google is looking at the pages as separate and splitting the juice flow across 4 pages rather than 1.
any ideas
Thanks
Billy
