How to Create automate Content for Big Ecommerce Site
-
Hello guys,
Im planning to do some big changes on my ecommerce,
On my ecommerce i normally ship services so tons of relative products but it will change from each brand.
For example i would like to say the same thing on each product landing page but just changing the keyword for the proper product lading page , but my fear is that this will look like duplicate content.
How can i deal with information on each landing page on a ecommerce that have more than 1k on services. I dont want to write this differently on each 1k on pages for products since they are doing the same thing but in different brands.
I hope you can help me on this.
Note: Is there any source of doing this type of Seo for automate page service generator?

Having a lot of duplicate content will make you vulnerable to Google lowering your rankings sitewide as they don't want sites with thousands of "thin" pages to rank well.
You can focus on improving the content on your most important or popular pages and expand from there.
Also, if you can encourage customers to review products that can be a great way to generate a lot of unique content in an inexpensive and scalable way (for example SEOMoz encourages UGC (user-generated-content) by awarding points and maintaining a leaderboard of top contributors).

You are correct. This will look like duplicate content to google and you should expect to see lots of your pages filtered from the search results.
I dont want to write this differently on each 1k on pages for products since they are doing the same thing but in different brands.
I understand, but if you want your content to be honored by google it is very important to avoid cookie-cutter content. If you don't want to do it then hire someone who can do it - but keep an eye on their work so they don't write too repetitively or copy descriptions from other websites.
I hope you can help me on this.
Sorry, you didn't get the answer that you wanted.

Agreed.
"I dont want to write this differently on each 1k [pages]"
But why not? It's very time consuming, yes, but will pay off exponentially in the long-run.
And then once you're caught up, writing those descriptions for any additional product that comes in will be abreeze.
That's the best-case solution; but to answer your concern directly, yes, there is a good chance that search engines will just disregard each write-up as actual content if it's in a template fashion with only a word or two swapped out.

There's no way to automate good quality content. I suggest using elance or some other freelancer site, or even the mechanical turk and having a team of people help you write custom product descriptions.

Duplicate ecommerce sites, SEO implications & others?
We have an established eCom site built out with custom php, dedicated SERPs, traffic, etc.. The question has arisen on how to extend commerce on social and we have found a solution with Shopify. In order to take advantage of this, we'd need to build out a completely new site in Shopify and would have to have the site live in order to have storefronts on Pinterest and Twitter. Aside from the obvious problem with having two databases, merchant processing, etc, does anyone know whether there are SEO implications to having two live sites with duplicate products? Could we just disavow a Shopify store in Webmaster Tools? Any other thoughts or suggestions? TIA!

When Mobile and Desktop sites have the same page URLs, how should I handle the 'View Desktop Site' link on a mobile site to ensure a smooth crawl?
We're about to roll out a mobile site. The mobile and desktop URLs are the same. User Agent determines whether you see the desktop or mobile version of the site. At the bottom of the page is a 'View Desktop Site' link that will present the desktop version of the site to mobile user agents when clicked. I'm concerned that when the mobile crawler crawls our site it will crawl both our entire mobile site, then click 'View Desktop Site' and crawl our entire desktop site as well. Since mobile and desktop URLs are the same, the mobile crawler will end up crawling both mobile and desktop versions of each URL. Any tips on what we can do to make sure the mobile crawler either doesn't access the desktop site, or that we can let it know what is the mobile version of the page? We could simply not show the 'View Desktop Site' to the mobile crawler, but I'm interested to hear if others have encountered this issue and have any other recommended ways for handling it. Thanks!

My site has a loft of leftover content that's irrelevant to the main business -- what should I do with it?
Hi Moz! I'm working on a site that has thousands of pages of content that are not relevant to the business anymore since it took a different direction. Some of these pages still get a lot of traffic. What should I do with them? 404? Keep them? Redirect? Are these pages hurting rankings for the target terms? Thanks for reading!

Which duplicate content should I remove?

Redirect micro-niche site to bigger niche site?
I have a micro niche site that performs reasonably well (page 1 at least) for it's main keywords. It is an exact match domain. To save the ongoing maintenance of a site that gets less than 10 visitors a day, I was thinking of redirecting this micro niche site to a bigger site (a niche site that the micro niche fits into, if that makes sense!) Would I lose rankings because of the power that the EMD provided? Would it be better keeping it there for the backlink it provides to the bigger site (although on the same C Class IP)

How do you prevent the mobile site becoming a duplicate of the full browser site?
We have a larger site with 100k+ pages, we need to create a mobile site which gets indexed in the mobile engines but I am afraid that google bot will consider these pages duplicates of the normal site pages. I know I can block it on the robots.txt but I still need it to be indexed for mobile search engines and I think google has a mobile crawler as well. Feel free to give me any other tips that I should follow while trying to optimize the mobile version. Any help would be appreciated 🙂
