i have testet different patterns out with no luck:
/blog?start={*}
/{*}?start={*}
do you aware of something similiar issues about the filter system of 4SEO?
Hi
1 - I am not aware of any such thing, I will test
2 - Why do you want to filter them out? they are valid category pages, they should be there and included in your sitemap.

Hi Yannick. Thank you for your replay!
So far I have not seen any advantage in these urls. In principle, all blogs are listed anyway, so I thought that it makes no sense to list these page index pages.
Now regardless of the use, I find it exciting that i can not filter out these urls.

Individual pages are only listed because 4SEO crawled these category pages. If it did not, it could not find the individual blog pages.
so I thought that it makes no sense to list these page index pages.
You must crawl them. However, you can absolutely exclude them from your sitemap, by using that same exclusion rule in your Sitemaps settings.
I am running a test now to verify the exclusion rules. Goes without saying but:
- you need to update to latest version (1.5.x)
- after adding an exclusion rule, you need to Reset analysis so that the filter is applied while crawling.
Again, I do not advise to do that, but instead apply the exclusion rule to the sitemap only. Still need to Reset analysis after that.

Hi
I have run a full test on a site and this exclusion rules type works fine:
I suspect you may not have Reset the analysis and ran it again to apply the rule. Please confirm.
Again, I strongly suggest you apply this rule to sitemap exclusions. If you do so on the Pages exclusions, your individual blog posts won't be found anymore, unless links to them can be found on other pages, or "Latest posts" type modules or similar.

No not realy. I'm aware of this steps after modifiying the rules to reset the analysis.
currios because i also have tested this on 1.4 and finaly on the latest version 1.5 today and the filter pattern was not working on my end - but i will close this now.
Thank you also for your input about the importance of this EB category links. i have added this rule now in the Sitemap settings only to exklude them there and not on pages level.

There was no change here, even since version 1.0. But you do need to do a fresh analysis so that the exclusion/inclusion can be applied.

Way to go!
