Tips for avoid =ASC and =DESC in search Google results?

This topic has been marked as resolved.

Dear ThemeBurn support, I´m trying to adjust the details for the robots.txt file for my Opencart webshop, so it´s working as good as possible together with Google webmaster tools. I still get varnings for double meta descriptions and also double heading tags regarding to following: ?sort=p.model&order=ASC ?sort=rating&order=DESC ?sort=pd.name&order=ASC ?limit=75 My robots.txt details is as following: user-agent: * Disallow: /&limit Disallow: /?limit Disallow: /?sort Disallow: /&sort Disallow: /?order Disallow: /&order Disallow: /?price Disallow: /&price Disallow: /?brand_tabletpc Disallow: /&brand_tabletpc Disallow: /?color_default Disallow: /&color_default Disallow: /?filter_tag Disallow: /&filter_tag Disallow: /?mode Disallow: /&mode Disallow: /?cat Disallow: /&cat Disallow: /?dir Disallow: /&dir Disallow: /?color Disallow: /&color Disallow: /?product_id Disallow: /&product_id Disallow: /?minprice Disallow: /&minprice Disallow: /?maxprice Disallow: /&maxprice Disallow: /?route=checkout/ Disallow: /?route=account/ Disallow: /?route=product/search Disallow: /?page=1 Disallow: /&create=1 Disallow: /?route=information/contact Disallow: /?route=affiliate/ Disallow: /?keyword Disallow: /?av Disallow: /admin/ Disallow: /system/ Disallow: /catalog/ Do you guys have some tips to avoid the errors? Do I need to complete the robots.txt file with some more details? Best regards Thomas	OCstore

Hi Thomas, We haven’t made any experiments about disallowing routes in robots.txt. There are a couple of handy topics in the official OpenCart forums that discuss the same problem: https://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=39828 https://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=107584 http://www.magikcommerce.com/blog/how-to-correctly-setup-configure-robots-txt-in-opencart/ BR, ThemeBurn team	TB Support

Thanks for your answer! I have really tried to read about this but without success… Google seems to index all of the different sort results, and that´s what I have “problem” with. I don´t know how it´s working “behind the scenes” but if feels like the sort function should be disabled. Maybe it´s wrong solution, but what do you think happen if I disable the sort function in my web shop? Is this one option to do? Best regards Thomas	OCstore

Hi Thomas, Please have in mind that once indexed, it may take some time to get these pages out of Google’s database. We’ve attached the robots file that we use in several projects and works with us. It is not different from what you’ve posted though. BR, ThemeBurn team	TB Support

Hello! I´m going to look at the robots.txt file and compare a little bit with the file I´m using. Thanks again! Best regards Thomas	OCstore
