: Duplicate content - linking to other versions of same page Possible Duplicate: Two URLs pointing to almost the same content If I have a page, that has this url: domain.com/category/something/
Possible Duplicate:
Two URLs pointing to almost the same content
If I have a page, that has this url:
domain.com/category/something/
but can also be accessed through these urls:
domain.com/category/something/1
domain.com/category/something/2
domain.com/category/something/3
where the last number is used as an image-index to display a certain image on the page. So the content of the pages are the same, just with one image changed.
How do I avoid google indexing the versions with /number at the end, so it only shows up once in searches - and is not considered duplicate content?
Is it enough to put a rel="nofollow" on links to the /number links?

you have to define a canonical tag that points to:
domain.com/category/something
so that even if google looks at the other urls you mentioned, it definitely know that they belong to the main-page defined in the canonical tag.
Here is the official google blog post and the explanation for the canonical url.
BTW, putting a rel nofollow would be unnecessary dangerous since they are somehow counted too and may have a negative impact on your SEO.
