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
Sam

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
To Me: All you need to write Well about all your Product features in Product page So it helpful to your users.

@ 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
Sam

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

Will hreflang indication help single language site?
I have read a few articles that say indicating a language per webpage with hreflang really only helps sites that use multiple languages. Although my site is only in English, I see that it is ranking for a few foreign language keywords in Google Search Console (not sure exact traffic but roughly 15% of visitors from Search are non English preferred). My thought is that indicating language will help my single-language site because it will weed out the non-english speakers who are probably bouncing from the site. Overall I am thinking it might improve the quality of my search traffic. Do you think my logic is sound, or is adding hreflang not beneficial to my site? All feedback welcomed. Thanks!

Should we change branded keywords based on audience knowledge?
Good Morning Moz, Wanted to pose a question to the community that our company has been wrestling with internally for a while now. I think your insights would be tremendously valuable. Our company effectively has two business units, one that is online and one that is offline. Each appeals to a different customer base as well. In one business unit, the larger, more offline and better established of the two, we refer to ourselves as a "manufacturer of high end automobiles" (not true, but using as an example). We've carried this through to the other business unit which is very small, web-based, and growing, but have quickly realized that the majority of would-be customers do not search for "automobiles", they search for "cars." And the keyword volume is night and day. On the order of 5000 searches/mo for automobiles, and 1,000,000 searches/mo for cars (again, not true for these example keywords but this is the actual ratio against our real keywords). So, do we optimize heavily against a lesser known and used keyword, or do we try to target "cars" which sees higher search volume even though it's significantly more competitive? We have this problem with a few different branded keywords, actually, and our search performance reflects as much. If someone were to search for these lesser known keywords they would find us, and we rank well. But the volume isn't there. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Should I add social media icons to homepage of ecommerce site?
... In particular Facebook likes for social proof and credibility? (We have 1.7k likes, more than most competitors). Aimed at the higher end of the market, I've tried to keep the aesthetic a bit more pared down. But, perhaps this needs to be made more prominent?

Is being listed in the McAfee Directory and displaying a McAfee Secure logo on your site worthwhile?
I am trying to decide whether or not to renew a plan with McAfee Secure. My initial thought was that displaying the logo was not worth the cost, and that I would be able to establish the same consumer confidence with a seal from Authorize.net. Does anyone have an opinion on display the McAfee Secure seal and/or being listed in the McAfee directory.

Recommendations for Books on Analytics, Ecommerce and Data Manipulation?
Having just moved into a position where an Ecommerce site is now a big part of my responsibilities I'm looking to get up to speed on the topic (been a while since I worked on a shop). Site is Magento based. I'd also like any recommended books on broader analytics and using/reporting data. Obviously finding books on these subjects isn't difficult, I'd just like mozers thoughts on any that are particularly good and more important still relevant ie fairly recently published. Quite broad topics these I know but open to any or all suggestions - however not too worried about covering wider SEO, more 'technical' guide style is what I'm interested in. Couldn't really find any threads on books in general so should be an interesting topic (I hope!) Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

Duplicating Product Titles in the Page-Content
I have been debating this with a few others within my office and we would like an outside opinion on this issue. This screenshot is of a new product grid I have been designing. I have decided to try something new for SEO that I have seen elsewhere. (see attached image) The page-content below the last products on the page, now have a small paragraph that contains all the products "titles" that are visible on the page. The intention is to capitalize on multiple search terms by using modifiers to replace special character sets within the title. For example: 46" 3 Seat Perforated Square Picnic Table = 46 Inch 3 Seat Perforated Square Picnic Table Not only does this give a secondary search term that could convert but increases the number if instances of "Table" within the page. Suggestions or Thoughts? Thanks! GviGn.jpg
