isn't this SEO "NO" "NO" thing?????

Answer 1

Since they are not canonicaly linked and have duplicate content I suggest that you NoIndex them to prevent SEO issues.

I've updated Robots.txt section in my seo tutorial. you can use it do prevent search engines from indexing these pages.

I may also add canonicaly relations to these pages in ultimate seo plugin's next version.

Answer 2

This is due to the reason of URL parameter.Server makes same pages of with different URL, which can be solved with the help of canonical tag implementation.

Answer 3

It seems the URL are SEO friendly.

Could you check the character limit of these 3 url because according to SEO 100 character or less is SEO friendly.
