Duplicate content issue with default category slug
-
Hello,
I recently ran into a (I think) huge problem.
I am using the following permalinks structure for now over 2 years:
%category%/%postname%So all of my URLs look like this:
http://www.blogname.com/categoryname/postnameMy default category is called “Other” with “other” as slug. I recently noticed that Google started indexing blog posts from ALL categories with “other” in the permalink!!
I.e. a blog post http://www.blogname.com/category1/testpost is now ALSO indexed as http://www.blogname.com/other/testpost.
Because of that, all of my blog posts now have a duplicate and it shows in Google Webmaster Tools as errors – I am very afraid that I’m going to get penalized for this very soon.
Does anyone else have the same issue? What can be done to fix it?
Thank you.
