   Hello,

   is it possible to write some additional rule for mod_rewrite
   to eliminate "?cat=23" from post url's, example:

   you can reach one of my post entering such url's:
   http://videotrip.eu/category/ships/?cat=23
   http://videotrip.eu/category/ships/?cat=233
   ...
   http://videotrip.eu/category/ships/?cat=2333333

   It's a problem with googlebot - it visits many of my sites and ads "?cat=5", "?cat=55" to many of my post's urls. I have no idea, why googlebot gets such urls (any ideas?)

   Additionally when using wp-cache plugin, all such pages are cached, so one entry can be cached at 2-3 different urls.

   Is it possible to write some mod_rewrite rule to redirect all requests to proper url, I mean:

   redirect (for example)

   http://videotrip.eu/category/ships/?cat=2333333
   to
   http://videotrip.eu/category/ships/

   Have you noticed such googlebot behaviour?

   Daniel
