I am trying to get my site ranked better by Google and think i might have worked out what the problem is? I just wanted to see if others can confirm it?

Looking at the indexed pages in my site, I notice Google has indexed:

ww.handcrafteduk.com/products_new.html?zenid=55f7424c38f086c

and

ww.handcrafteduk.com/products_new.html?zenid=4e5ce213ab72aad27
As far as Search Engines are concerned, it doesnt matter whether your page is

abc.asp?x=woof
abc.html?x=woof
or any other

Google will perceive both these following pages as different pages :-

Page 1 : abc.html?x=woof
Page 2 : abc.html?x=meow

"IF BOTH THESE PAGES CONSIST OF SAME CONTENT, ONLY THEN IT IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM".

In your case both the pages have same content, which might rub Google the wrong way. You will end up loosing rankings for this particular page, because of duplicate content.

ADVICE: You just need to restore the original/First Crawled Page/Link. Discard the other link, or change the content of second link/page, EVERYTHING WILL BE BACK TO NORMAL
