Hey,

we all know osclass and each theme produces a lot of URLs.

Home page, static pages ( about, contact ) & main category or subcategory and item pages.

Now in search page or bottom area many unwanted or ugly auto-generated pages showing & also indexing. Here site all category pages data mixed up or counting as a duplicate content. So its harm in SEO on main imp category pages.

How to properly redirected or make noindex these types of pages.

Showing example -   ( check any of your website or beta theme bottom region links )

1) xyz.com/regionname-r123456         
2) xyz.com/cityname-c123456                 
3) xyz.com/maincategoryname_cityname-c123456
4) xyz.com/maincategoryname_regionname-r123456

these types many ugly auto-generate URLs making a bad impact on SEO. That's why many osclass websites not easily ranking.

currently, I am managing manual 301 redirect options but its very time consuming and not cover all bad URLs. Any smart solution ...?

1) xyz.com/regionname-r123456         
2) xyz.com/cityname-c123456                 
3) xyz.com/maincategoryname_cityname-c123456
4) xyz.com/maincategoryname_regionname-r123456

-- all above are valid, unique and seo friendly links (note that links does not need to be user friendly as noone is going to remember link to category, city or region on none page). Number at the end is idenfitier of city/region.

Keep in mind that even url in format xyz.com/category,5/city,London/region,10/  is in seo friendly format. URLs cannot contain ? and & signs.
If you do not like how urls are generated, you can change it in permalinks setting or simply close your eyes.

For "duplicated" content (or duplicated urls):
- pages with no listings should be put to nofollow,noindex by theme in search.php
- pages those are duplicate (like /category,Car  .... /car) should have canonical url generated by osclass

Osclasspoint.com runs on osclass and never got warning from google about duplicated content, bad urls or whatever impacting seo.
You just wasting time with these theories.
