Hello,

The number of my site's pages in Google has jumped from around 3,000 to 11,600. As I don't have that many pages the only explenation is that Google has indexed search results. As I use Google for my internal searches (via API) Google has effectively indexed itself!

I'm not complaining as I'm getting 30% more traffic. But it just don't feel right.

Has anyone else experienced the same? Should I stop Google from spidering my (its) search results?

have you also verified that they are not indexing your other pages with the same content at multiple URLs?

pretty sure duplicate content ... check for session-ids, mismatched case in the URLs, different parameter order, etc.

I saw one site go from 57 real URLs to 950 indexed URLs in Google in the last month - looks good at first, but when you get all of them thrown out because of duplicate content....

I am not saying that hte following thread provides any answers but, you are not the only one out there that this is affecting:
