How do i fix my duplicte page issues on Prestashop platform?
-
I have tried many things such as rel-canonical, duplicate url redirect modules, but still im looking at over 70 duplicate page titles. Most of this is because the same title is used across all the pages and im not sure if this is possible to change. (ex: http://apostolicclothing.com/15-modest-womens-dresses, http://apostolicclothing.com/15-modest-womens-dresses?p=2)

Hi Nathaniel,
Sorry to be late to the party, but I just noticed this because I was doing some research on Prestashop and SEO. (Considering helping a client on that platform.)
I came across a person who might be able to help you - Lesley Paone.
Lesley is "an expert in PrestaShop development and is also a PrestaShop certified developer. He is also one of the global moderators of PrestaShop's e-ecommerce forum, which is one of the largest e-commerce forums on the internet. He is also an SEO relating to e-commerce sites and is very active on the SEO forums for Moz as well." You can find him on Twitter at @lesleypaone, on his site at dh42.com, and by private messaging him here on Moz.
Good luck!

So....is there no other way to fix this? so far i was told to change the robot file and to change it back but no other fix?
-
oops i already added that to the robot file, will remove it. Its definitely a pagination issue. I have multiple pages but of course being a database backed site, i cant change the titles of each page (at least i don't know how to in SQL). Thanks for the catch, i've been trying to fix this issue for almost 6 months with non canonical tags, etc but I'm still getting all the red flags.

**(what Andy stated above, sorry Andy, that's a disallow, not a noindex). **
Whoops - good catch
-
Are these issues caused by pagination? Page 1, Page 2, Page 3 things? A canonical is not exactly right. A noindex would be best, (noindex,follow) specifically, just make sure that tag isn't put on page 1. You want page 1 in the index.
I would no suggest disallowing the crawling of the pages (what Andy stated above, sorry Andy, that's a disallow, not a noindex).
I am not sure how to change this for just the paginated pages though. I'd look for a noindex module in the Prestashop Modules area.
-
I would have suggested a rel=canonical, but as you can't get this working, have you thought about just no-indexing those pages? Adding the following line to your robots.txt should solve it:
Disalllow: ?p=
Then add this to the robots tester in Webmaster tools before committing to it.

Several Links in Some Pages
Dear all, Our main site is a bussiness directory, and following some SEO advices, we are creating landing pages for each category, in order to optimize them for the keywords. Those landing pages have links to the listings related to them. Using the same idea, we have created pages related to the regions, and those pages include links to the listings located in them. The only problem that I see with that, is the number of links that some categories or regions could have. Is there a limit of recomended number of links per page, from a SEO perspective? We also have a main category page, that includes a list of all categories, and this page could also have a relatively high number of links. The pages have around 300 to 500 words, some include also images, some include videos. Many thanks for your help, Daniel

Rel canonical Issue
I have a huge rel canonical issue showing up on my website, and I'm not sure that I fully understand why. To my knowledge, this is something that comes about when alternate urls are used to link to the same page. However, this is not a technique that I've used with my website, yet it's still raising a flag on just about every page. http://bit.ly/jYyTYN Can anyone enlighten me on what's causing this? Thanks

Too many on-page links
Hi, My website - www.thepartyhouse.com.au is showing as having too many on-page links for over 4,000 pages. Take for example the homepage which is showing as 188 links, but I don't understand this because I've used SEO tools to display the links and I am showing around 90 links on this page. How can I see what all the links are? Thanks

Too many links on a page?
On my blog posts, I have links to all the categories and months, dating back 5-6 years. This make the number of links on each blog page well over 100, which I understand might decrease the value of each page. Is there a problem with having more than 100 links on a page?

Organic Landing Pages...
For one of our sites (fastcubes.com) I noticed our landing pages were ranking and getting a few organic visits. Considering they were made specifically for PPC, I thought maybe we should create landing pages that would not be present in the navigation of the site but for the purpose of optimizing for keyword variations. For example work station cubicles vs office workstation. We have a page optimized for office workstation but having another optimized for work station cubicles is redundant. Would it be a good idea to create this as a page that is not present in the navigation for the sole person of hopefully being ranked and getting traffic for that specific keyword? Thank you in advance for your help!!
