Product Page on Eccomerce Site ranking very poorly - Unique Product description but duplicate content on other tabs.
-
Hi All,
I have a query regarding my Product pages on my eCommerce site.
I have unique Product descriptions but some of the other page content on the other tabs i.e Hire Terms , Delivery , About the Hire Company - Are duplicated across ALL my products.
Is that okay or how should I deal with them ?
See example url of one of my products below below - http://goo.gl/aSFPqP
My products currently rank very badly... 200 + so Any advice would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Peter

Duplicate content isn't that big of a deal for ecommerce sites, especially the kind you're talking about. Backlinks are likely why the pages rank so poorly.

Many thanks Cyto.
I shall look at these things..
Much appreciated

- Can you reduce the duplicate content by turning it into a footer link? For instance, you could move the entire 'about the company' tab to a link in the footer that links to an about us page. I've seen plenty of sites that focus on product pages that link out to specific pages like 'terms and conditions, about' and only keep what is relevant to the customer on the page
- No need to spam pages with content for the sake of content. It's about placing content that is relevant. Quality over quantity.
- Let the unique product descriptions, titles, headers, images, image tags, seo friendly urls, breadcrumbs and a good sitemap help you structure the pages correctly. You will start seeing improvements.
- Throw in a valuable blog focused on your area that users will find useful to build quality external links and you will further benefit.
- Better yet, look at moving your site to HTTPS, Google recently announced they value sites that move to HTTPS. You have an e commerce site, it will help

Hi Andy,
The ranking has never been good. It's not something we have previously looked at as we ranked okay for the parent category pages. it's just something we are looking at now.
thanks

Hi Peter,
Is the ranking position something that has just happened, or has it never been good?

Product pages and rank brain
Hello, On product pages does the content matter or does the presentation and answering the user intent matter more ? I know for informational query content definitely matters but with rank brain, I am thinking that for pages where your present product content doesn't matter as much ? Am I right ? Thank you,

I am lost at where to go. My optimization rating is 95% + and rankings are on pages 4+. I would like to know what I should do to increase my rankings.
My site is Glare-Guard.com. My Domain Authority has not moved from 17 in a long time. i have done everything to optimize the different pages. I have 90%+ ratings for the various pages, yet I am still not even close to the first page for many of the keywords I am looking to rank for. Do you have any tips or ideas? Should I try to rewrite my content and add more information? I am just at a loss for where I should go to get the right traffic to my site. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ecommerce Duplicate Product Descriptions across 3 websites
Hi, We are an e commerce company that has our own domain but also sell the same products on eBay and Amazon. What is the feeling on the same exact descriptions being used on different platforms? Do they count as duplicate content? Will our domain be punished/penalised as our domain does not have as much authority as EBay or Amazon? We have over 5,000 products with our own hand written product descriptions. We want our website to be the main place/ have priority over the above market places. What's the best suggestion/solution? thanks,

How to avoid content canibalizm? How do I control which page is the landing page?
Hi All, To clarify my question I will give an example. Let's assume that I have a laptop e-commerce site and that one of my main categories is Samsung Laptops. The category page shows lots of laptops and a small section of text. On the other hand, in my article section I have a HUGE article about Samsung Laptops. If we consider the two word phrases each page is targeting then the answer is the same - Samsung Laptops. On the article i point to the category page using anchor such as "buy samsung laptops" or "samsung laptops" and on the category page (my wishful landing page) I point to the article with "learn about samsung laptops" or "samsung laptops pros and cons". Thanks

On Page vs Off Page - Which Has a Greater Effect on Rankings?
Hi Mozzers, My site will be migrating to a new domain soon, and I am not sure how to spend my time. Should I be optimizing our content for keywords, improving internal linking, and writing new content - or should I be doing link building for our current domain (or the new one)? Is there a certain ratio that determines rankings which can help me prioritize these to-dos?, such as 70:30 in favor of link-building? Thanks for any help you can offer!

Is there a way to stop my product pages with the "show all" catagory/attribute from duplicating content?
If there were less pages with the "show all" attribute it would be a simple fix by adding the canonical URL tag. But seeing that there are about 1,000 of them I was wondering if their was a broader fix that I could apply.
