How to Fix Duplicate Content Issue of Manufacturer Details Paragraph?
-
I am surviving with Google's crawling issue. Google had not index my product pages yet. I have Google a lot and read too many articles to get it done. But, I did not get satisfy answer with it.
I just checked my product pages and found that: There is one tab with Manufacturers Details containing one paragraph.
This content is available on too many product pages with same manufacturer. You can know more by visiting following URL.

So, Does it matter to stop my crawling? If yes so How can I fix it?

I have read entire blog post which was recommend by you. Kate Morris has given us such a great post and suggest to create unique content on product pages.
But, It's quite hard for me to create unique content for Manufacture Detail tab for 7K+ products.
Can I go forward with Ajax or Java Query to make it hidden. So, crawler will not able to crawl that content. What you think about it?

No, That content is displaying in all product pages. I am able to find out that content in source code.

Hi CP,
This is an issue for all stores that use the information supplied by manufacturers without any change. Unfortunately the sheer number of people out there with the same content duplicated across hundreds or even thousands of sites, makes it a serious problem.
Search engines will see this as low quality content and it will certainly make it more difficult to rank above your competitors. After all, by copying everyone else, you are not providing anything of extra value for the user.
Katie Morris wrote a blog post recently on this subject - eCommerce Syndicated Content: How to Win. In it she explains how you can improve your content very easily by doing some clever, but simple editing to improve rankings.
Hope that helps,
Sha

Is the extra paragraph content on a different URL or just hidden with Ajax?
look at placing canonical on these pages and having a unique product page for every item.

Duplicate content issue
Hi, A client of ours has one URL for the moment (https://aalst.mobilepoint.be/) and wants to create a second one with exactly the same content (https://deinze.mobilepoint.be/). Will that mean Google punishes the second one because of duplicate content? What are the recommendations?

Duplicate Content Question
I have a client that operates a local service-based business. They are thinking of expanding that business to another geographic area (a drive several hours away in an affluent summer vacation area). The name of the existing business contains the name of the city, so it would not be well-suited to market 'City X' business in 'City Y'. My initial thought was to (for the most part) 'duplicate' the existing site onto a new site (brand new root domain). Much of the content would be the exact same. We could re-word some things so there aren't entire lengthy paragraphs of identical info, but it seems pointless to completely reinvent the wheel. We'll get as creative as possible, but certain things just wouldn't change. This seems like the most pragmatic thing to do given their goals, but I'm worried about duplicate content. It doesn't feel as though this is spammy though, so I'm not sure if there's cause for concern.

Looking for a technical solution for duplicate content
Hello, Are there any technical solutions to duplicate content similar to the nofollow tag? A tag which can indicate to Google that we know that this is duplicate content but we want it there because it makes sense to the user. Thank you.

Duplicate Content Due to Pagination
Recently our newly designed website has been suffering from a rankings loss. While I am sure there are a number of factors involved, I'd like to no if this scenario could be harmful... Google is showing a number of duplicate content issues within Webmaster Tools. Some of what I am seeing is duplicate Meta Titles and Meta Descriptions for page 1 and page 2 of some of my product category pages. So if a category has many products and has 4 pages, it is effectively showing the same page title and meta desc. across all 4 pages. I am wondering if I should let my site show, say 150 products per page to get them all on one page instead of the current 36 per page. I use the Big Commerce platform. Thank you for taking the time to read my question!

404's and duplicate content.
I have real estate based websites that add new pages when new listings are added to the market and then deletes pages when the property is sold. My concern is that there are a significant amount of 404's created and the listing pages that are added are going to be the same as others in my market who use the same IDX provider. I can go with a different IDX provider that uses IFrame which doesn't create new pages but I used a IFrame before and my time on site was 3min w/ 2.5 pgs per visit and now it's 7.5 pg/visit with 6+min on the site. The new pages create new content daily so is fresh content and better on site metrics (with the 404's) better or less 404's, no dup content and shorter onsite metrics better? Any thoughts on this issue? Any advice would be appreciated

Duplicate Content Issue
Hi Everyone, I ran into a problem I didn't know I had (Thanks to the seomoz tool) regarding duplicate content. my site is oxford ms homes.net and when I built the site, the web developer used php to build it. After he was done I saw that the URL's looking like this "/blake_listings.php?page=0" and I wanted them like this "/blakes-listings" He changed them with no problem and he did the same with all 300 pages or so that I have on the site. I just found using the crawl diagnostics tool that I have like 3,000 duplicate content issues. Is there an easy fix to this at all or does he have to go in and 301 Redirect EVERY SINGLE URL? Thanks for any help you can give.
