Hello Sergey,

I had some investigation and found that submit forms for ( cobalt types as comments, parent ) submit forms cause a lot of duplicate content, the only solution I find to fix this is to:

Open this file:

com_cobalt/views/form/view.html.php

And inside this private function:

private function _prepareDocument()

Insert this:

 // META Section
                $meta                = array();
                $meta['description'] = $this->section->params->get('more.metadesc');
                $meta['keywords']    = $this->section->params->get('more.metakey');
                $meta['author']      = $this->section->params->get('more.author');
                $meta['robots']      = $this->section->params->get('more.robots');

                MetaHelper::setMeta($meta);

This way the robots tags you set for the type will inserted in that page header and you can tell search engines to nofollow, noindex those submit form pages

Also:

a) for the compare urls would be good to put a rel="nofollow" tag also

b) in this file:

form/view.html.php

$app->redirect(JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&return='.Url::back().$modal));

For that url which redirects users to login page would be good to insert that rel="nofollow" too

I just added noindex for form page.

jimie form/view.html.php

$app->redirect(JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&return='.Url::back().$modal));

For that url which redirects users to login page would be good to insert that rel="nofollow" too

Google cannot follow this URL. I mean PHP redirects and google end up on that URL but there is not HTML with that URL to add nofolow attribute.

jimie a) for the compare urls would be good to put a rel="nofollow" tag also

Done.
