Many thanks...")* Hi, It's strange that google picks up such URLs on your website as these are used by the voting system to send the votes in ajax and thus they are not even displayed on your website as far as I can see. Normally, it should pickup the main menu items URLs, the product pages URL, etc. I would recommend to work on the SEO of your website: - publish a site map of your website with the extension xmap and its HikaShop plugin - update HikaShop to a more recent version and enter the canonical URL (the URL you want to seein the search results) for each of your products. - edit your robots.txt file and add remove the pages you don't want to be indexed by search engines thanks to it. Here is a tutorial on SEO : [ www.searchenginejournal.com/five-steps-t...url-structure/59813/](http://www.searchenginejournal.com/five-steps-to-seo-friendly-site-url-structure/59813/) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI2LXByb2R1Y3QtY2F0ZWdvcnktZGlzcGxheS84NjYwMzctcHJvZHVjdC1jYXRlZ29yeS1ub3QtZGlzcGxheWluZy1wcm9kdWN0cz90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation.
