Help with ecommerce duplicate pages and SEO advice(magento base site)
-
Hi,
We have a magento build site (www.mokee.eu) and are selling our own branded goods. So far it is a very limited range of products. It's 1 baby crib in 5 variations.
We recently started getting more sales from the site, so I started to look a bit more into optimising our site.
I rewrote item name, created better descriptions, added meta titles and description etc. and subscribed to the MOZ analytics platform to understand a bit better ways to improve things up.
From what I saw we have a big issue of duplicated content because our product pages are the same and only the product colour changes, which is something google apparently doesn't like
However it is important for us that each colour get referenced by google so people who search for grey cot can find a picture of our grey cot etc... Also I was thinking to create only on multi variation page with all colour but when you have only 1 product to sell it might look a bit empty on the site.
1- Do you guys have some advise on how to go round this issue?
2- Do you have any other advise for my site in particular to optimise things and actually do you think i should be worried at all with such a small catalogue?
Thanks
Sam

Both of your Title and Description Looks Good. I think You have added all important features of your Product in the description so Cool
Well. Moz Onpage tool does suggest to have keyword Multi Time. Here : http://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader
To Me: All you need to write Well about all your Product features in Product page So it helpful to your users.
thanks

@ ImWaqas @Chris Wilson,
Thanks for the tips. I'll clean the URL to keep what is essencial and tailor it to target audience language ( I guess google adword estimator tools are the right place to go)
For the Meta Title of out cot categorie page I have got
Buy Baby Cot Bed & Cribs | From £65 | MOKEE.EU
For the meta description of the cot category page ** I have got**
Buy an Ecologic Baby Cot |120 x 60 cm | ONLY £65 | FREE DELIVERY | 2 YEARS WARRANTY | 5 Colours (White, Dark Grey, Light Grey, Brown & Pink)>>DISCOVER>>
ANY GOOD??
Finally, where should the keyword stuffing happen then? Product description? meta description, meta title, etc.....
Is word frequency important as well? is number of words important?
Thanks
Sam

Like ImWaqas said, canonical tags should be put in, all pointing to the default or most popular color. As for the URLs, I would avoid keyword stuffing the url with synonyms, try something like this:
http://www.mokee.eu/cheap-baby-crib-scandinavian-minimalist.html
However, you should do some keyword research on your target market to determine which terms are popular for your target audience like baby vs. infant, crib vs. cot, cheap vs. low cost, etc.
Hope this helps,
Chris

First I will try to delete this part /index.php/ and My structure will be
http://www.mokee.eu/baby-infant-cheap-cot-bed-crib-cosleeper-scandinavian-minimalist-5-colours.html
Then I will Write Proper Meta title and description where I will add all different color variations in description to go with highly optimized Title.
For URL''s and Titles You need to target a bit broader and You can put all other keywords in Content of the pages. G reads your content and can easily rank with optimized written content.
hope it helps
thanks

@ ImWaqas,
Thanks a lot!
I'll have a look at canonical URL's and meta description for home page etc...
Fot he URL, I thought it was the place to put as many keywords as possible:-) How would you structure them to be optimal for instance this one:
Thanks

Hi Sam,
You need to add canonical tag to your Different color pages.
To help search engines to understand the duplicate content of your pages you can suggest the preferred version of the URL for each page, using the canonical URL tag, so you should install the Canonical URL’s for Magento module.

Also, After Reviewing your Website, I saw that you do not have Optimized Meta titles Like Homepage And Also your inner pages url looks too long. I think you need better optimized urls too.
Thanks

Can Very High Impressions and 0% Organic CTR Impact our SEO Rankings?
I have a very strange feeling that someone bad is trying to hurt our company, but maybe I am wrong. Let me explain. In the last two month, we have seen a very significant drop in sales on our website, but we couldn't figure out why. We have looked at different metrics (Google Search Console, Moz, Google Analytics), but everything looked alright. We had 10% loss in traffic, but we didnt believe at the time that it could be the main issue. Just yesterday we've discovered the following (please see attached screenshot😞 On August 18, 2018 Google launched Search Update On the same date, we had a jump in Organic Search Impressions for one particular keyword, which we never tracked before: "free facebook login". Majority of all impressions (233,000 out of 258,000) were from Philippines. Very low total number of clicks (50 clicks) led to 0% Average CTR for this keyword. Which in return, also lowered our global CTR by 1%. One month later we had 1000's of spam emails sent to our Helpdesk from two IP addresses, also from Philippines. We blocked them of course. It could be all coincidence. I dont know. But do you think that someone can use this fraudulent tactic to lower our CTR and drop our ranking and traffic? Can this influence our SEO in any way? It's also possible that someone is attacking Facebook and we just happen to be there, on the first page, for the same keyword. Should we try to eliminate our page for this keyword and see what happens? I've checked this article from Rand Fishkin - https://moz.com/blog/impact-of-queries-and-clicks-on-googles-rankings-whiteboard-friday and it seems that CTR is an important factor. However the article is from 2015 and maybe it's no longer relevant. What should we do? Thanks! G86Nge4

We've a client that wants to repurpose some of the content on there site but not lose rankings. However its changing the content to an alternative to ....
The Current URL Example would be test.co.uk/prodcut-catogory/product-1 . This side of the business is being sold however they have products elsewhere in the range that can be used as alternatives to the product range that will be moved, so they want to amend these pages with an " alternative " slant. Example idea would be to change to the following : test.co.uk/prodcut-catogory/alternative-to-product-1, trying not to change the URL to much, keeping the majority of the content the same but adding new copy stating the benefits of using the alternative product. So it becomes a comparison between the two. I appreciate I will have to amend the URLs, titles, meta, H1s, add new copy & preform a 301's. Option 2 Simply write a second page which is all brand new content talking about it being an alternative to the products and doing a 301 from the original page but not amending that. Be great to get peoples feedback on this approach and if there is anything else that I could do to minimise the drop in rankings once I complete the changes. Thank you D

Are lower bounce rates greater time spent on a site by visitors rewarded by Google n the form of higher ranking? We are a commercial real estate brokerage firm in Manhattan and plan on making the following changes: -Much larger photos for listings

-Lighter cleaner design with more open white areas
-Use of more visible fonts
-Better forms
-Potentially less text and more emphasis on product, which in our case are real estate listints. Our existing site: w w w . m e t r o - m a n h a t t a n . com is a bit ordinary and uninviting. The redesign will have a concept similar to
http://www.dernieretage-paris.com/
The theme behind this real estate site is the city itself, which is quite clever and applicable to Manhattan. Our home page as well as other URLs use lots of text. If we reduce text and use more images to make the pages more engaging, will our organic ranking decline? If we reduce text can we compensate by fuller completion of meta tags? Any thoughts???0 -

Ecommerce Store Sales
I am the webmaster/developer/seo guy for my company's online stores. Of course doing this gets a lot of pressure based on the sales the websites are bringing in. In the past month or so, we've had a somewhat steep dropoff of sales and I've been having an extremely hard time figuring out why. I have researched our visits, and those are staying steady, our ranks have actually gone up for a few of my targeted keywords, the sites are working fine, all statistics seem like everything is normal other than the amount of sales. So the question is: does anyone else here run an Ecommerce store that has run into this kind of problem? Have you found any outside influences from google or other search engines that have had this kind of effect that you wouldn't normally think of looking at? I'm just completely out of ideas for things to check... it may very well be they need to re-price things, but I want to make sure I've done my due diligence to find anything I may be able to fix! Thanks!

Any Suggestions for Building an SEO Friendly Auto Dealership Website?
Does anyone have suggestions for re-designing an auto dealership website? Is it possible to build a WordPress website that accepts an inventory feed from VinSolutions? I've been building websites and provided SEO services for years. This is my first time working in the auto industry. The issue I am facing is that our dealership currently have two websites. Both are built on 3rd party platforms and I am seriously considered rebuilding our website from scratch. Our first website was been provided to us by our Hyundai and the website is managed through Cobalt. While I like that the website is directly affiliated with Hyundai, it's very difficult to manage and I have yet to be able to get the techs to grant me access to the FTP server or provide help with installing Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools. The owner of our dealership never liked the Cobalt website so they decided to launch a second website that is created and managed by a company called Dealer Specialties. The site is also very difficult to administer and I only see problems later down the road. Is anyone familiar with working with auto dealership websites? I would love to hear your comments on the best way to proceed with our new web presence.
