URL's with parameters pos=7&_fid=64cdca95a&_ss=c

Shopify Discussion

We identified that most of our products (which are reports) URLs also have a duplicate version with parameters included e.g.

Original link: https://valustrat.com/products/dubai-vpi-residential-capital-values-april-2022

Another link on Shopify with parameters: https://valustrat.com/products/dubai-vpi-residential-capital-values-april-2022?_pos=7&_fid=64cdca95a&_ss=c. This link is non-indexable but crawlable, so it affects our google crawl budget.

Can someone tell that from where and why another link is creating with parameters, like pos=7&_fid=64cdca95a&_ss=c . How can we get rid

I know this is an old thread, but in case any one else finds this. We added a robots.txt.liquid file and used that as our robots.txt.

Then we added the following:

Disallow: //products/?_pos=*
Disallow: /products/?_pos=
Disallow: /products/?_fid=
Disallow: //products/?_fid=*

Disallow: /products/?_ss=
Disallow: //products/?_ss=*

This removed all of the URLs with these parameters from the crawl
