Duplicate Content
-
I am wondering what is the best way to show google that there is duplicate content on the page. for example on our product pages they are unique content except we give the same guarantee and promise on every product providing some duplicate content. What is the best way to fix this issue?

putting in sidebar will still be detected by Google so no use I guess.
You can do one thing, just make one page of Guarantee and add guarantee button (saying checkout our guarantee) and then add this button to each page, users can click on this button to check out your guarantee and duplicate content issue will be solved. Because in this case now we only have pone page of grantee and its only the button that exists at multiple pages!!

Yeah that's a lot of text. Not sure how Google reacts to that. However, what I am sure about is that Google will recognize patterns in structure, so maybe you should consider placing your guarantee in the sidebar or some other navigational spot. I know it kinda requires a bit of restructuring of your content and boxes, but maybe it's worth the effort

It is a good amount of text if you go here http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/49/-/181/1137/-/19426/Bridgestone-Battlax-BT45-V-Rated-Rear-Motorcycle-Tire and click on the "Our Guarantee" you can see what i am talking about.

I would say it depends on the length of your product descriptions. If your guarantees etc are like 50-100 words and your product description is 200 words, Google most likely wont consider those pages for duplicates.
However, you can help Google to figure out the context, so if you place your guarantees within a box in the aside-tag or similar, Google will most likely "guess" your website structure and consider your guarantees a static element like your navigation, footer etc.

Many ecommerce sites have this same problem. But Google's algo is complex enough to understand that there is a bit of similar content on such sites. So if its not a big chunk of text its should be ok. And I am not aware of any code of fix to this issue.
All you can do is make 4 or 5 combination (different versions of your guarantee text and use them alternatively to at least ease things a bit)

Duplicate Content In Webmaster Tools
In wordpress on some of our blogs when we have gone to publish them wordpress has shortened the url. In Google webmaster tools the orignal url is coming up as a 404 error. This url is not indexed in Google. Is this something to worry about and can this be avoided? Thank you in advance.

Will our two retail sites get hit with duplicate content?
Our retail site just rolled out a second online store. The URL is new and it is showing some of the same products from the same vendors (probably about 40% of the fist store is in the second store). Down the road, we will remove the products from the first site, however, we are keeping it for now. The products show up on both sites, with the same images, and the same descriptions and almost the same URL query string. Are we going to get hit with any penalties due to duplicate content?

Help with Content Revamp
Many years ago we wrote about 60 content pages for our surfboard e-commerce website targeting all the top popular keywords. Many of them generic but very keyword focused. We are now revamping our content our our site and want to move away from the generic side of things and actually rewrite all the pages to make them very useful and actually stuff our customers can really use and will find very helpful. I noticed that many times we wrote small pages less than 500 words that target similar keywords around a general theme. In looking at the analytics all the pages are getting a good amount of traffic and ranking well but im wondering would it be ok to focus on a main topic and combine similar pages if they are related? So i can take the say 60 articles and combine it down to say 10 articles and make the articles cover alot more stuff instead of just being small 500 word articles. As an example we have many surfboard models so we wrote an article for -Longboard Surfboards -Funboard Surfboards -Mini Malibu Surfboards -Retro Fish Surfboards -Womens Surfboards -Beginner Surfboards My question is could i weave these all together and write one long guide on say "Choosing The Type of Surboard you need" and cover all the board models in that article and then redirect the old pages to point to that one article. Would i still rank well for all these words Or would this destroy all my current rankings for these words? What is the best approach to rewriting and or combining old content pages that currently rank well but could be combined with others around the same theme to make it more user friendly?
