Hi,

I searched a bit on this issue, but couldn't find a direct hit, so please indulge me.

The content analysis part of google's view of our site is reporting many
cases of duplicate titles and meta tags where slight variations in a
forum or view are considered separate urls.

forum_topic
‎‎/forums/forum_topic?sort=asc&order=Replies
‎‎/forums/forum_topic?sort=asc&order=Topic
‎‎/forums/forum_topic?sort=desc&order=Created
‎‎/forums/forum_topic?sort=desc&order=Replies
‎‎/taxonomy/term/111/0‎

Google is reporting this issue, so does it impact the seo ranking ?

What is the best way to fix this ? Any prior refs are just as appreciated .

Thanks,
D

What about the '&from='

What about the '&from=' parameter. How can we block them via robots.txt in these urls:

/news?page=334&from=32‎
/news?page=334&from=56
/news?page=334&from=90

Any idea?

Block "from" parameter

This will work -- put it in your "User-agent: *" section:

Disallow: /*from=
