falafel Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Hi all, Im trying to figure the best way to do this. I have pages as the main page to post articles, and I use the forums for comments. From what I understand the forum just mirror the articles ? so I have the same content twice ? Because as it is now, if I post an article the link is example.com/articles/title and the mirrored is example.com/forums/topic.5/title both have the same content and comments Isn't that bad for seo? or is not something to worry about? if it is should I exclude the articles pages from google bots or any other tips ?

If you are worry about it, sure, you can remove one of the two from the index. I would rather go with the forum part though. If the article is the “original” content, I would direct the users there.

Jacques Corby-Tuech Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Don't block crawling of that page, that's a really bad move. Use Canonicalization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
