It was on google webmaster tools. I told google not to reference these ?shared and ?msg under Crawl URL Parameters.
It would be nice for jetpack uptate to include a nofollow on these links by default.
url is http://zombieprepkit.com just look at any link from jetpack sharing for email where the link says ?share=email
Google is looking at this as duplicate content so this should be nofollow
Hi, Can you show me a screenshot of this from Google? I’ve just added Webmaster Tools to my test site, so if the issue is generalized to Jetpack, I should see it in a few days.
Richard, below are my logs showing the ?share=* links being followed by MSNbot.

Hi Eddie and ngoodfellow, I took a close look at my logs and google Webmaster Tools, and I have hits from the Bingbot for the share links, but not from MSNbot or Google. Seems to me that the problem is on Bingbot’s and MSNbot’s end for following those links, not Jetpack’s. Also, I did some preliminary research and “bad” bots can and do fake their useragent strings, so it is plausible that these bots that we have seen aren’t actually from MSN or Bing.
@ngoodfellow, since I haven’t been able to reproduce this on my site and since you haven’t provided me with a screenshot, I am marking this as resolved. Let me know if you continue to experience this issue.
Richard, I have protection against fake bots: the first time an IP shows up identifying itself as a bot, my system checks, via reverse DNS, if that IP is legitimate for the UA it claims. So we can rule that out, in my case.
I think there’s a typo in your reply, as it seems to contradict itself: “but not from MSNbot or Google” followed by “the problem is on Bingbot’s and MSNbot”.
Either way, for the last 7 days, I had 149 hits to ‘?share=*’ from Bingbot and 49 from MSNbot.
There were no hits from Google.
Hope this helps. I am happy to give you access to the logs.
Hi Eddie,
Have you signed up for Bing Webmaster Tools? http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster
I’m curious if it’ll mention anything about those links.
As for your logs, if you want you can zip them up and send me the link to the zip through our contact form, http://jetpack.me/contact-support/
Just make sure to include a link to this thread. Thanks!
