Good evening ....
I have a problem indexing the site in the search engines in Google
https://vb.animes.ws/thread-10-post-10.html#pid10
https://vb.animes.ws/thread-10-lastpost.html
All of them are the same content for the original thread link :
https://vb.animes.ws/thread-10.html

We have contacted Google's technical support regarding these links, and if there is a problem with indexing them Their
answer was:

Quote:Search spiders should be prevented from accessing these links :

Because it is considered duplicate content and does not present anything new or different

And you previously raised this problem before, and no one cared about the topic, and the topic was taken sarcastically by some

You can use showthread.php?tid= style URLs and then tell Google (or let it figure it out by itself) that some parameters don't change content. Or you can use Google SEO URL which takes care of it the same way (parameters like pid or action lastpost left dynamic) and also adds canonical URL directive for Google to index the main URL.

Other than that it's just natural to have different links to the same thing (specific post link, newpost/lastpost link, etc) in a forum.

I am using an extension
It has no benefit in preventing duplicate content.
It needs intervention from the script programmer to prevent these things from archiving the useless things.
Google does not recognize what is useful or not. It indexes anything

I don't know, do you want me to use the file?
Checking the file does not prevent search spiders from duplicate content !

We're tracking it to look to improve it in a future release.
