Hey people.
Just found a rather alarming issue with one of my CS-Cart stores.
I was checking for duplicate content, when I found that if I Google “site:mydomain.com/index” I get almost every category page indexed with a bizarre page title (“Categories Expand the sublist of items Collapse the sublist of items…”), description (“Expand the sublist of items Collapse the sublist of items, Expand the sublist of items Collapse the sublist of items”) and a strange looking page which I have never come across. Screenshot attached.
The indexed URL's follow this format:
http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.picker&category_id=6&display=radio
If I actually visit any of the pages, I get a page titled 'Categories' with a radio-button list of the categories with a “Choose” or “Cancel” button, if I select any of the options, the page redirects to http://www.mydomain.com/" which very strangely produces a 404 not found error.
Has anybody else witnessed this and, if so, found a cure for it? I have recently installed CS Cart Rocks Canonical URL Fix Addon which leaves no trace on these pages.
Any ideas? At a complete loss with this one…
Thanks!
