Can I add a paragraph of blog content to a product page?
-
I have a great blog post about one of my products, which means there's some copy in the blog that I would like in the product page. It would constitute perhaps 5% of the copy on the product page if I copied it.

You are most welcome
If you have any more questions, just ping me. ill try my best to answer.
cheers!

Hi Jarno
I would lose my product page from SERPS and the blog is not the canonical page for 95% of the product page's content.
-
Brocberry,
have you thought about rel=canonical and specify the blog as original? Or have you thought about it and considered it not to be an option?
This could solve your entire problem and the content is not considered to be duplicate in any case.
kind regards
Jarno

Thanks Sinisa, I have sent the link by private message. An example of duplicate content contains "harmonic techniques".

Hi again
As for the linking part - it's fine. Of course.
And as Marie has stated below, no one know when Google flags someting ''duplicate''. Just try to avoid a lot of copy and all would be good, imo
Although, presonaly, i would write a brand new description using the info from the blogpost.
Cheers
ps. Could you paste the link to your product page?
-
Hi
The blog post links to the product page and the product page links to the blog.
I haven't included it as an additional description, I have taken one or two paragraphs from the blog and worked them into the original product copy.
-
No one knows exactly how much of a page has to be duplicated before Google sees the page as a duplicated page. However, if your blog post is only 5% of the copy on the page and the rest of the page has good unique content I can't see this being a problem.

Hi there
In my opinion, i dont see why not. An aditional description on your product page is a great feature as for users and for bots, but if you are worried about duplicate content, maybe you could summarize the blog and include the key features (words) of your product and link the whole blogpost to the original blog?
hope this helps
cheers!

E-commerce can we delete all products that have never sold for 10 years?
Hello, We're switching from a mediocre cart to Volusion.com, which I love. We've been in business for 10 years and have 8500 products. At least 75% of the products have never sold once. How do we know how many of those we can delete when switching carts? We only want to switch over the products we have to. Thanks! Bob

Duplicate Page Content
Hi, I am new to the MOZ Pro community. I got the below message for many of my pages. We have a video site so all content in the page except the video link would be different. How can i handle such pages. Can we place adsense AD's on these pages? Duplicate Page Content Code and content on this page looks similar or identical to code and content on other pages on your site. Search engines may not know which pages are best to include in their index and rankings. Common fixes for this issue include 301 redirects, using the rel=canonical tag, and using the Parameter handling tool in Google Webmaster Central. For more information on duplicate content, visit http://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content. Please help me to know how to handle this.. Regards

Duplicate content: Form labels and field content
I have a site that has 500 pages, each with unique content, the only content that could be deemed the same is the 'Make Contact' form, which has the same labels and placeholder text on each page. Is this likely to cause any duplicate content penalties?

Form Only Pages Considered No Content/Duplicate Pages
We have a lot of WordPress sites with pages that contain only a form. The header, sidebar and footer content is the same as what's one other pages throughout the site. Each form page has a unique page title, meta description, form title and questions but the form title, description and questions add up to probably less than 100 words. Are these form pages negatively affecting the rankings of our landing pages or being viewed as duplicate or no content pages?

Static content VS Dynamic changing content
We have collected a lot of reviews and we want to use them on our Categories pages. We are going to be updating the top 6 reviews per categories every 4 days. There will be another page to see all of the reviews. Is there any advantage to have the reviews static for 1 or 2 weeks vs. having unique new ones pulled from the data base every time the page is refreshed? We know there is an advantage if we keep them on the page forever with long tail; however, we have created a new page with all of the reviews they can go to.
