Help with ecommerce duplicate pages and SEO advice(magento base site)
-
Hi,
We have a magento build site (www.mokee.eu) and are selling our own branded goods. So far it is a very limited range of products. It's 1 baby crib in 5 variations.
We recently started getting more sales from the site, so I started to look a bit more into optimising our site.
I rewrote item name, created better descriptions, added meta titles and description etc. and subscribed to the MOZ analytics platform to understand a bit better ways to improve things up.
From what I saw we have a big issue of duplicated content because our product pages are the same and only the product colour changes, which is something google apparently doesn't like
However it is important for us that each colour get referenced by google so people who search for grey cot can find a picture of our grey cot etc... Also I was thinking to create only on multi variation page with all colour but when you have only 1 product to sell it might look a bit empty on the site.
1- Do you guys have some advise on how to go round this issue?
2- Do you have any other advise for my site in particular to optimise things and actually do you think i should be worried at all with such a small catalogue?
Thanks

Both of your Title and Description Looks Good. I think You have added all important features of your Product in the description so Cool
Well. Moz Onpage tool does suggest to have keyword Multi Time. Here : http://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader

@ ImWaqas @Chris Wilson,
Thanks for the tips. I'll clean the URL to keep what is essencial and tailor it to target audience language ( I guess google adword estimator tools are the right place to go)
For the Meta Title of out cot categorie page I have got
Buy Baby Cot Bed & Cribs | From £65 | MOKEE.EU
For the meta description of the cot category page ** I have got**
Buy an Ecologic Baby Cot |120 x 60 cm | ONLY £65 | FREE DELIVERY | 2 YEARS WARRANTY | 5 Colours (White, Dark Grey, Light Grey, Brown & Pink)>>DISCOVER>>
ANY GOOD??
Finally, where should the keyword stuffing happen then? Product description? meta description, meta title, etc.....
Is word frequency important as well? is number of words important?
Thanks

Like ImWaqas said, canonical tags should be put in, all pointing to the default or most popular color. As for the URLs, I would avoid keyword stuffing the url with synonyms, try something like this:
http://www.mokee.eu/cheap-baby-crib-scandinavian-minimalist.html
However, you should do some keyword research on your target market to determine which terms are popular for your target audience like baby vs. infant, crib vs. cot, cheap vs. low cost, etc.
Hope this helps,
Chris

First I will try to delete this part /index.php/ and My structure will be
http://www.mokee.eu/baby-infant-cheap-cot-bed-crib-cosleeper-scandinavian-minimalist-5-colours.html
Then I will Write Proper Meta title and description where I will add all different color variations in description to go with highly optimized Title.
For URL''s and Titles You need to target a bit broader and You can put all other keywords in Content of the pages. G reads your content and can easily rank with optimized written content.
hope it helps
thanks

@ ImWaqas,
Thanks a lot!
I'll have a look at canonical URL's and meta description for home page etc...
Fot he URL, I thought it was the place to put as many keywords as possible:-) How would you structure them to be optimal for instance this one:
Thanks

Hi Sam,
You need to add canonical tag to your Different color pages.
To help search engines to understand the duplicate content of your pages you can suggest the preferred version of the URL for each page, using the canonical URL tag, so you should install the Canonical URL’s for Magento module.

Also, After Reviewing your Website, I saw that you do not have Optimized Meta titles Like Homepage And Also your inner pages url looks too long. I think you need better optimized urls too.
Thanks

Photos or Video Best for Landing Pages?
My real estate brokerage firm is promoting a listing via advertising on LinkedIn. The advertising links to a landing page: http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/MidtownLawOfficeSublet3300SFBelowMarket Rather than photos, the landing page has a 1 minute video. So far we have had about 10 visits to the page. Visitors leave the landing page after a few seconds. So they are not looking at the video. Would it be better to replace the video with photos? Or is engagement generally better with video? My thinking is that business owners may not have the patience or the time for a video and they would more likely have the time and willingness to click on photos. I would be willing to test this further, but at $5/click it could get costly! Any thoughts?

Server-Side A/B Testing - Okay for SEO?
Hey Moz Community! I've been digging into the differences between server-side testing and client-side testing and had a generic question. Is it safe to run server-side A/B testing? For example, if I want to Split Test the home page of a site and show 50% of my traffic one home page, and show 50% of my traffic a completely different (read: new template, new content, new CTAs, etc) home page, are there any implications to SEO and organic search? I've spent about five hour researching and from what I can find A/B testing is acceptable as long as you don't show Googlebot different content or run A/B tests on Googlebot. Matt Cutts, head of Webspam at Google, has stated that A/B testing does not impact search rankings. "A/B or split testing or other forms of testing web sites is okay by Google as long as you don't test GoogleBot or don't treat GoogleBot differently." The biggest concerns for SEO cloaking, so from my understanding, for server-side testing, you'd need to do user-agent based redirection so that Googlebot (or any search bot) gets the normal version of the home page. The bots shouldn't be part of the test. Technically that is cloaking, but intention-wise, we're not trying to be sneaky. I've also read through this article about experimentation from Google developers here. Am I missing anything here or is there a definitive answer? If we serve a “B” as a different site for user testing, just exclude google bot by user-agent and we’re good? THANKS!

Should I link from an optimised product image to the product page from a blog post?
If I am writing a blog post about a product, or a number of products, and I'm including optimised images of the product, should I link from the images to the product page in the shop? Usually I remove links from images as they lead visitors to a simple image page but could it be worth linking from an optimised image to a product? Thanks in advance.

Adwords Advice
Hi. I have a few questions regarding Adwords set up. I typically follow a highly targeted model with Ad Groups consisting of a few ads and keywords. I have a client who offers multiple services across multiple towns/cities/counties but what I want to know is the best way to structure this at campaign level. Say they offer carpet cleaning, window cleaning and car cleaning. In cities London, Birmingham and Leeds. Now when setting the campaign up, would I be better served to set up a Campaign at: City Level. Eg London location settings, london keywords, london in Ad copy. Service Level. London, Leeds & Birmingham in location setting. Ad Groups for each city with Ads aimed at each city/keywords. Or City & Service level. Eg. London location settings. London Car Cleaning. The Ad Group, Ads, Keywords. What is the best structure to use? I see location as important but if I restrict settings to 1 city, am I doing myself out of some searches from regions on the border of London that might be interested in the service? I want Ads, Keywords to be highly targeted but the best way to play it. Thanks

Microsites vs. one site
My client has created a product that he wants to market to two, very different, audiences. The goal is to funnel them through the site and get them to purchase. My question is about the best SEO strategy on how to do this effectively. Since they are distinct audiences with little in common we've recommended building two microsites, and optimizing each with unique content and different keyword focus. I realize it will be harder to optimize two sites rather than one, but it seems to make sense from a user perspective. But once the users goes to a "non-audience specific" page, like any page that is about the product or company and not about the audience, should we build yet a third website that houses the "company/product pages" and channel the conversions there in order to avoid having duplicate content on the two other sites? Or should we put the same "company pages" on both the Audience A and Audience B websites, only vary the text so it doesn't look like duplicate content. Or is the microsite strategy flawed all together? Please keep in mind this is a brand new product and it has national scope. There is no local focus. We will be building their rankings entirely from scratch. I REALLY appreciate any insights you may have. We have been going around and around about this. Thanks
