Duplicated Contents SEO - Every URL has a duplicate with nocache parameter

With a crawl SEO software, I've checked that lots of duplicated meta tags are created because, for every URL, other versions of URL are created. These URLs contain no-cache parameter inside the path and this element let me think that probably is a sort of duplicated URL created for the cache. Here an example:

https://domain.com/s/article/Phone-Login (THE ORIGINAL URL)
https://success.tanaza.com/s/article/Phone-Login?nocache=https://domain.com/s/article/Phone-Login (OTHER VERSION OF URL CRAWLED)
https://domain.com/s/article/Phone-Login?r=7&other.KB.getArticle=1&other.KB.getFirmwareInstructionsArticleAPId=1&other.KB.isUserGuest=1 (OTHER VERSION OF URL CRAWLED)

The other versions of URLs work and redirect correctly to the original one. But as how they are a new page with tag title, tag description, etc equal to the original one. And these issues created a penalization for duplicated content for the domain.

It's fundamental to find a solution to remove these alternative URLs. Better if we don't use canonical tags for internal reasons.

Hi Marco,

Is it a salesforce Issue?

If yes can you explain in detail?

Yes, it's a Salesforce issue because I'm sure that the content developer of our website publishes content in a proper way. Internal links are created with the Salesforce tool: Smart Link Tool. Then if these alternatives URLs are created, it's or for an option set (that we don't know) or for a real issue in Salesforce.

I have given all information that I've in the previous message.
