Webmaster tools - Duplicate meta descriptions

[gfresh]

Hi there,

Im trying to cut down my duplicates through google webmaster tools.
I noticed that it was only the "p", "n" "orderby" and "orderway" that was getting duplicates so told google to ignore these parameters. However google seems to still be crawling these pages and taking them into account. Does it take so much time for google to recognise that I want these ignored or is there a deeper problem?

Thanks for your time,

Gary

thanks for the response,

looks a good module and will look into purchasing soon..
Is there any chance that changing the url structure of my friendly urls using this module will cause my shop to crash or cause pages to be redirected themselves that cause 404's?
Im just concerned about messing it up. I havent changed any of the files in the fix you offer but use a different custom theme, does that make difference in changing those files?

Thanks for your help,

Gary

The module will not cause any 404 errors, and is pretty stable (a few hundred people are using it already)

The modification posted in the forum was also tested very well, and should work with any theme, you will just need to modify the tpl files manually.
