For example, we visit this demo in ventrian: http://www.ventrian.com/Products/Modules/PropertyAgent/Demos/Cars.aspx Then we search by Manual Transmission where the url query will be: http://www.ventrian.com/Products/Modules/PropertyAgent/Demos/Cars/tabid/303/agentType/ViewSearch/CustomFieldIDs/6/SearchValues/Manual/Default.aspx Now look at URL of all the items in the "listing" and "latest": 1. Mazda's url: http://www.ventrian.com/Products/Modules/PropertyAgent/Demos/Cars/tabid/303/agentType/View/PropertyID/22/customFieldIDs/6/SearchValues/Manual/Default.aspx 2. Series 1 A http://www.ventrian.com/Products/Modules/PropertyAgent/Demos/Cars/tabid/303/agentType/View/PropertyID/4/customFieldIDs/6/SearchValues/Manual/Default.aspx In most cases, Googlebots will not able to crawl these links due to no inbound link to them. However, if somehow the Googlebot crawls these links, then most of your items will have duplicate links and content. (Just like mine get 1000+ duplicate content and delisted from SERP as I have inbound links to search result from eslewhere) In order to avoid this problem, change the [LINK] token to "http://www.ventrian.com/Products/Modules/PropertyAgent/Demos/Cars/tabid/303/agentType/View/PropertyID/[PropertyID].aspx".

Thanks, George Looking for Invite Friends Module?

This is caused by the feature of adding next/previous to the view property. The only way to implement this was to pass the search criteria in. I can make an option to disable this, but you won't be able to use the next/previous feature if that is the case.

Just a note, I have the exact same issue on news articles, but have chosen not to implement it the same way (for next/previous). I'll add an option in the next release to have this feature disabled by default.
