    Hi Guys,

    I notice that a few of my sites pop up with duplicate content issues in webmaster all from maxigallery and the images.

    eg: home.html&pic=228 and home.html?pic=3&from_id=2

    Is it even a real SEO issue, I would guess it is if webmaster picks up on it?

    If so how to I remove or block all of these other image urls - dont want to do it manually in the .htaccess file.

    Thanks

      Why not use the Google Webmaster Tools -> Site configuration -> URL parameters
      You can set which query string parameters should be ignored

        Thanks Bunk, thats the ticket.

        Google already has "amp;pic" and its set to let google decide if I set it to No it doesnt effect content will this tell google to ignore all banner images and duplicate content?

          If you want Google to not index the pages like home.html&pic=228 & home.html?pic=3&from_id=2 then set both to no i.e.
          &pic 
          &from_id

          If you want home.html&pic=228 to be indexed but not home.html?pic=3&from_id=2 then just set
           &from_id
