How do I Syndicating Content for SEO Benefit?
-
Right now, I am working on one E-Commerce website. I have found same content on that E-Commerce website from manufacturer website. You can visit following pages to know more about it.

http://www.abbyson.com/room/contemporary/casablanca-detail
http://www.furnitech.com/ft55cfa.html
I don't want to go with Robots.txt, Meta Robots NOINDEX & Canonical tag. Because, There are 5000+ products available on website with duplicate content.
So, I am thinking to add Source URL on each product page with Do follow attribute. Do you think? That will help me to save my website from duplicate content penalty?

Hi Matt,
Thank you very much for two valuable suggestions. I am agree with you. We have added product specification in form of paragraph.
Now, We are planning to compile set of content for each and every product page for good user experience. It may create some romance on product pages.
I will consider your URL length related input in next product import.
If you have any additional inputs or suggestions for me? If yes so It will fabulous for me. Because, I have visited your website and You have done great work over there.
This is biggest reason to love SEOmoz... Right platform to communicate more with E-Commerce marketing guys... just like you!!

That's not the site I was talking about specifically but it is a site that my team are working on.
Looking at that product on your page, the content is essentially is a list of features. My advice? Try and make it unique and interesting. It can be hard to do this without simply thickening the content with fill words though. Maybe try to be funny?
By the way, I'd try and make your URL a little shorter

Hi Matt,
I hope, You're talking about following website.
http://www.theworkplacedepot.co.uk/
I have checked categories and We are working on similar products.
http://www.theworkplacedepot.co.uk/lincoln-office-chair
We are selling same product on our store.
We have done lot of work on Office Chairs category & product page.
But, We are getting issue to capture maximum impressions and clicks on product page due to using content from manufacturer website.

Great. I'm pleased you are wanting to do it the right way. Many people come here for advice and simply reject the advice given because it costs too much money or takes too much effort.
Generally, creating decent unique descriptions for 5000 products will take lots of time and effort. If you do have a budget for this sort of thing then it might be worth trying oDesk or Elance or something similar. Just remember that if you follow this advice, you should also have someone editing and checking the descriptions that you are provided with.
If it makes you feel any better, I'm working on a site at the moment which needs unique descriptions for 30,000 products.

Hi Matt,
Honestly, You don't need to say sorry for it. I am really happy to read very straight answer.
If unique description is only solution so, I will happy to go with it. But, I want to double make sure before jump on it.
Because, It's big investment of time & money for us. I am quite excited to read few more answers on this question.
By the way.. Thanks for your answer...

If you want the honest answer then there is only one real way of making this work... Rewrite the descriptions. Make them unique.
If you really want the pages to do well then this is the solution.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
Matt

Identifying Duplicate Content
Hi looking for tools (beside Copyscape or Grammarly) which can scan a list of URLs (e.g. 100 pages) and find duplicate content quite quickly. Specifically, small batches of duplicate content, see attached image as an example. Does anyone have any suggestions? Cheers. 5v591k.jpg

Links from a website or a subdomain, which would generate more benefits in terms of SEO?
I have a customer who just bought a domain (and the full website) of a competitor and decided that they will no longer update the website purchased. The website of my client has a Domain Authority = 50 and DA of the website purchased is 45. Each of them was registered by different companies and are on different servers too.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | marciofelias
The reason for my message is that by being registered by different companies and are in differrent servers I can use the site purchased as a way to make link building to the main website (one way link buiding only from the website purchased to the main website), but I can put the website purchased as a subdomain of the main website and agregate content to the main website.
In your opinion which would generate more benefits in terms of SEO to the main website? Links from the website purchased or put this website as a subdomain to the main website?0 -

PR Media and Syndications
I’ve noticed that lot of my competitors who have good results in SERPs use or have used Pr Release and syndication to hundreds and thousands of sites. Just wondering how Google will react to the article that is published in different sites and has the same content and anchor link. Will it be considered a spam or no? Is it advisable to go with pr syndications after Penguin and Panda updates or no? Thanks.

Duplicate Content On A Subdomain
Hi, We have a client who is currently close to completing a site specifically aimed at the UK market (they're doing this in-house so we've had no say in how it will work). The site will almost be a duplicate (in terms of content, targeted keywords etc.) of a section of the main site (that sits on the root domain) - the main site is targeted toward the US. The only difference will be certain spellings and currency type. If this new UK site were to sit on a sub domain of the main site, which is a .com, will this cause duplicate content issues? I know that there wouldn't be an issue if the new site were to be on a separate .co.uk domain (according to Matt Cutts), but it looks like the client wants it to be on a sub domain. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
