Can I add a paragraph of blog content to a product page?
-
I have a great blog post about one of my products, which means there's some copy in the blog that I would like in the product page. It would constitute perhaps 5% of the copy on the product page if I copied it.
-
You are most welcome
If you have any more questions, just ping me. ill try my best to answer.
cheers!

Hi Jarno
I would lose my product page from SERPS and the blog is not the canonical page for 95% of the product page's content.
-
Brocberry,
have you thought about rel=canonical and specify the blog as original? Or have you thought about it and considered it not to be an option?
This could solve your entire problem and the content is not considered to be duplicate in any case.
kind regards
Jarno

Thanks Sinisa, I have sent the link by private message. An example of duplicate content contains "harmonic techniques".

Hi again
As for the linking part - it's fine. Of course.
And as Marie has stated below, no one know when Google flags someting ''duplicate''. Just try to avoid a lot of copy and all would be good, imo
Although, presonaly, i would write a brand new description using the info from the blogpost.
Cheers
ps. Could you paste the link to your product page?
-
Hi
The blog post links to the product page and the product page links to the blog.
I haven't included it as an additional description, I have taken one or two paragraphs from the blog and worked them into the original product copy.
-
No one knows exactly how much of a page has to be duplicated before Google sees the page as a duplicated page. However, if your blog post is only 5% of the copy on the page and the rest of the page has good unique content I can't see this being a problem.

Hi there
In my opinion, i dont see why not. An aditional description on your product page is a great feature as for users and for bots, but if you are worried about duplicate content, maybe you could summarize the blog and include the key features (words) of your product and link the whole blogpost to the original blog?
hope this helps
cheers!

Does a JS script who scroll automaticaly into pages could make some content "hidden" ?
Hello everybody, Sorry for my english (I'm French), I will try to do my best... We've got an e-commerce website : kumulusvape.fr
On-Page Optimization | | KumulusVape
On each categories, to improve our conversion rate, we put a javascript to automaticaly scroll into the page to the product list. You can see an example here : http://www.kumulusvape.fr/44-e-liquide-savourea-smookies This script scroll and make some content "hidden".
It's not really a scroll, just changing page position. Do you think that our h1 and our category content could be consider "hidden" by Google ? Thank you very much for your help0 -

Duplicate Page Content
Hey Moz Community, Newbie here. On my second week of Moz and I love it but have a couple questions regarding crawl errors. I have two questions: 1. I have a few pages with duplicate content but it say 0 duplicate URL's. How do I know what is duplicated in this instance? 2. I'm not sure if anyone here is familiar with an IDX for a real estate website. But I have this setup on my site and it seems as though all the links it generates for different homes for sale show up as duplicate pages. For instance, http://www.handyrealtysa.com/idx/mls...tonio_tx_78258 is listed as having duplicate page content compared with 7 duplicate URLS: http://www.handyrealtysa.com/idx/mls...tonio_tx_78247

http://www.handyrealtysa.com/idx/mls...tonio_tx_78260
http://www.handyrealtysa.com/idx/mls...tonio_tx_78260 I've attached a screenshot that shows 2 of the pages that state duplicate page content but have 0 duplicate URLs. Also you can see somewhat about the idx duplicate pages. rel="canonical" is functioning on these pages, or so it seems when I view the source code from the page. Any help is greatly appreciated. skitch.png0 -

Should I use this Facebook comment content on my related blog post?
I have a blog post that ranks pretty high for the term "justin bieber tickets". We are running a ticket giveaway and have received tons of responses on Facebook and G+. The responses are often poorly written in they sense that they are from younger fans, but it is a bunch of related content that I thought could be a "good "addition of unique content to the post. Is this a good idea in general? Is it still a good idea if the comments are poorly written and contain lots of slang an exclamation points? Is it bad form to put people's Facebook comments live on the web, even though it is a public page. Here is the post Example of what this would look like in the post >http://cl.ly/1Q3N0t091V0w3m2r442G Source of comments >http://www.facebook.com/SeatGeek Another less aggressive option would be to curate some of my favorite comments... Thanks for any thoughts.

My blog title is getting added to my post title and I can't figure out how to remove it
Hello everyone, I am sure most of you guys know how to do this. I am finding that when my posts are listed in google, my blog title is added to my post title. 2 questions. 1. Is this hurting my rankings because the blog title is diluting my keywords making it look like I have a huge title? (the on page optimizer is dinging me for this. 2. I use a self hosted wordpress blog with the all in one seo plugin. Does anyone know how to remove the blog title from being appended to the post title? I thought I could do that in all in one seo by checking the rewrite title box and just having it say %post_title% but that didn't fix it. Also it was doing it before I checked that box as well. Any other ideas to try? Thanks
