When a bot is identified, any link that would normally have a PRINT, SORT, or in the case of products, CAT + PAGE variables, is displayed to the bot without those additional variables.

This means the bot only sees links to a single page instead of multiple different ways to access that page.

Additionally, the file seo.php will redirect bots if they are trying to access a url that could lead to duplicate content. The redirection sends them a 301 redirect to just the plain product url without the extra flags. Same for categories/manufacturers.

Hope that answers your questions


Hi Intel,

Thanks for the quick answer I thought that Google had some hidden bots that come in on different aliases so you couldnt track them? Im still a bit confused as to why you added these on but im known for being a bit simple!!!!
