Duplicate Content - What can be duplicate in two different product pages.
-
I am having a hard time understanding how my 3 different product pages are being shown up as Duplicate Content in s crawl.
Some of my 21 different pages are being shown as duplicate content. Here are 3 of those:
1. http://champu.in/korn-rock-band-mens-round-neck-t-shirt-india
2. http://champu.in/stop-the-burning-mens-round-neck-t-shirt-india
3. http://champu.in/funny-t-shirts/absolut-punjabi-red-men-s-round-neck-t-shirt
Can someone help me with this. Thanks in advance

I looked at SEO-browser, and saw the same result. We have done a lot of ecom sites over the years, and it's always wise to fill in any space you have in the cart system with product info that sets the pages apart from one another.
We put together a page a while back, that includes a similar page checker. This lets you see on a percentage scale how "similar" pages are to one another, and explains the definition of what "duplicate content" really is, and how it can hurt your site.

Tom: This is extremely helpful and completely makes sense.
We are now on this to resolve the same issue. Thanks

Hey there
I like to look at these issues in the eyes of the Googlebot. There is a tool called SEO Browser that lets you see what your webpage looks like to the search engine crawlers.
Here is your first link in that tool
As you can see, the vast majority of the web pages are identical to each other, causing this duplication issue. Yes, they are different products, but what Google sees are two pages with very similar text, coding etc.
To counter this, a lot of people recommend adding unique elements to your product pages. Try to include 200+ words of content that is unique and talks about the products. It could be a product review, a background on the product, instructions on how it use it if applicable and so on. For your example, you might want to write a little bit about the history of Korn the band for your first page.
Essentially, you need to add more unique content that Google/Bing can see on your page in order to avoid any duplication issues.
I hope this helps.

Duplicate Content - Bulk analysis tool?
Hi I wondered if there's a tool to analyse duplicate content - within your own site or on external sites, but that you can upload the URL's you want to check in bulk? I used Copyscape a while ago, but don't remember this having a bulk feature? Thank you!

My company's product is referred to by two different names (SVN and Subversion). When cleaning up our Title tags, is it OK to use either name to keep the title tags around 70 characters?
I am cleaning up title tags that are too long or not correct. In our title tag we reference our product (a version of OSS source code). This product is often referred to as both SVN or Subversion. When writing Title tags is it OK to use one or the other depending on the length of the Title Tag? For instance: Contact Us | Free SVN & Git Hosting | Bug & Issue tracking | CloudForge vs **About CloudForge | Free Subversion & Git Hosting | Bug Tracking ** | |
