Hi there, Mike and Bradley have given you solid advice on how to correct your first issue. Would you mind sharing a few more details about the nature of your second issue by posting it as a new, separate question? Thanks so much!

For #1, you should choose whether you want www or non-www, not both. Set up a 301 redirect so that search engines don't confuse your the two and think you have duplicate content.
If you are running an Apache server, you can use this .htaccess 301 redirect to only have a non-www version of your site (entering www will redirect to the same page without www.)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L] -
As to #1, set your preferred domain in webmaster tools to either the WWW or without WWW version. Then set 301 redirects from the other to your preferred. This way you won't run into any issues of the bots seeing them as two different pages with duplicate content issues when they're really the same page.

Hi KLLC,
It is really important that your titles, metas, urls be unique and consistent. We were really careful with this. http://www.posicionamientowebenbuscadores.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/SEOoptimized.jpg
You need to try and accomplish consistency and keyword focus.
Onsite optimization is 30% of the battle...

Duplicate Content
Hello guys, After fixing the rel tag on similar pages on the site I thought that duplicate content issue were resolved. I checked HTML Improvements on GWT and instead of going down as I expected, it went up. The duplicate issues affect identical product pages which differ from each other just for one detail, let's say length or colour. I could write different meta tags as the duplicate is the meta description, and I did it for some products but still didn't have any effects and they are still showing as duplicates. What would the problem be? Cheers
