Multiple choice question
For website that offer a product selection with a wide variety of options, filtered navigation can help a user find exactly what they are looking for more quickly, however because every filter option creates a new result page this can introduce a tremendous amount of duplicate content. What is the best way to address this problem?
| a. Do not offer filtered navigation. | |
| b. Block crawler access to filtered navigation search results in the .htaccess file | |
| c. Make sure that the search query parameters that are added to the URL for filtered search results occur after a #. Google ignores everything in a URL after the #, therefore the pages will not be seen as duplicate content. | |
| d. These additional pages actually help SEO because they make it seem like a site has a lot more unique content than it actually does. |
