Summary	0003723: CMS pages with plain-param are indexed
Description	if a search engine finds a link to a plain cms page such as agbs or (in our case) delivery information, it indexes the page as seperate page. There's neither a canonical tag nor a noindex, see screenshot.

tjungcl 2012-03-15 10:52 reporter ~0005997	In your demoshop I only found one: in checkout step 4 (order) the agbs are opened in a popup. The <a> tag has nofollow set, but we all know, that google doesnt care. Furthermore the link is in the checkout, which google should never reach. But: The plain-mode is a very usefull feature, which we use to show the shipping-cost information in the detail view in a popup (instead of leaving the page as you do in the example template). So if shopowners make use of your plain-mode feature, it will happen that google indexes those pages seperatly (as it happened on our page).
