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 for Locations on my Directory Site
I have a pretty big directory site using Wordpress with lots of "locations", "features", "listing-category" etc.... Duplicate Content: https://www.thecbd.co/location/california/ https://www.thecbd.co/location/canada/ referring URL is www.thecbd.co is it a matter of just putting a canonical URL on each location, or just on the main page? Would this be the correct code to put: on the main page? Thanks Everyone!

Testing for duplicate content and title tags
Hi there, I have been getting both Duplicate Page content and Duplicate Title content warnings on my crawl diagnostics report for one of my campaigns. I did my research, and implemented the preferred domain setting in Webmaster Tools. This did not resolve the crawl diagnostics warnings, and upon further research I discovered the preferred domain would only be noted by Google and not other bots like Roger. My only issue was that when I ran an SEOmoz crawl test on the same domain, I saw none of the duplicate content or title warnings yet they still appear on my crawl diagnostics report. I have now implemented a fix in my .htaccess file to 301 redirect to the www. domain. I want to check if it's worked, but since the crawl test did not show the issue last time I don't think I can rely on that. Can you help please? Thanks, Claire

Fix duplicate content caused by tags
Hi everyone, TGIF. We are getting hundreds of duplicate content errors on our WP site by what appears to be our tags. For each tag and each post we are seeing a duplicate content error. I thought I had this fixed but apparently I do not. We are using the Genesis theme with Yoast's SEO plugin. Does anyone have the solution to what I imagine is this easy fix? Thanks in advance.

Problem with duplicate content
Hi, My problem is this: SEOmoz tells me I have duplicate content because it is picking up my index page in three different ways: http://www.web-writer-articles.co.uk http://www.web-writer-articles.co.uk/ and http://www.web-writer-articles.co.uk/index.php Can someone give me some advice as to how I can deal with this issue? thank you for your time, louandel15

A site I am working with has multiple duplicate content issues.
A reasonably large ecommerce site I am working with has multiple duplicate content issues. On 4 or 5 keyword domains related to site content the owners simply duplicated the home page with category links pushing visitors to the category pages of the main site. There was no canonical URL instruction, so have set preferred url via webmaster tools but now need to code this into the website itself. For a reasonably large ecommerce site, how would you approach that particular nest of troubles. That's even before we get to grips with the on page duplication and wrong keywords!

Noindex duplicate content penalty?
We know that google now gives a penalty to a whole duplicate if it finds content it doesn't like or is duplicate content, but has anyone experienced a penalty from having duplicate content on their site which they have added noindex to? Would google still apply the penalty to the overall quality of the site even though they have been told to basically ignore the duplicate bit. Reason for asking is that I am looking to add a forum to one of my websites and no one likes a new forum. I have a script which can populate it with thousands of questions and answers pulled direct from Yahoo Answers. Obviously the forum wil be 100% duplicate content but I do not want it to rank for anyway anyway so if I noindex the forum pages hopefully it will not damage the rest of the site. In time, as the forum grows, all the duplicate posts will be deleted but it's hard to get people to use an empty forum so need to 'trick' them into thinking the section is very busy.
