Not sure how to do this but what you can do to avoid duplicate expired listings pages is to present random listings or adsense. This is what we do on our own sites. We simply put one of our css horizintal plugins in to come up if a search returns nothing or the listing has expired.

Currently, every expired advert has a different URL (address) but identical content on the page. I propose putting different content on every expired listing URL so you don't get duplicate content appearing on different URLS.

Can you give an example expired advert Url ?

I haven't heard this before

Thank you for everything

It is very simple to understand this issue.

An advert has a URL associated with it, the advert expires but the URL remains. However, once an advert has expired, the page presented is identical to every other expired listing. It has duplicate content. Google comes by and see lots of URLs over time, all with the same content - YOUR ADVERT HAS EXPIRED or whatever.

So why not put some random content on the page. So every expired listing has unique content overall. Same when a search is returned with no results or there is an empty category. It is not a perfect solution to duplicate content issues but quick to implement and fairly effective.
