Your meta descriptions aren't very long at 60 characters. You could write longer meta descriptions that include more info specific to that watch. Like, for http://www.traxnyc.com/Mens-Diamond-Watches-G-Shock-Watches-Casio-G-shock-Atomic-Solar-Watch-GWM5600-1V-item25463.html, the meta description is "Mens G-Shock Watches White Stainless Steel Item Price : $120", but the product is "Casio G-shock Atomic Solar Watch GWM5600-1V". When this page appears in the SERPs (when I search for the page title at least), the meta description is short so Google fills in a lot:
Mens G-Shock Watches White Stainless Steel Item Price : $120. ... TraxNYC is a leading retailer of Diamond Jewelry in the heart of New York's famous Diamond District .... Full Size Picture for Casio G-shock Atomic Solar Watch GWM5600-1V ...
-
Try using SKUs or bar codes / model numbers. This might additionally help you if people use barcode scanners or the like for search.
-
Instead of using descriptions for what is similar between the items:
Mens G-Shock Watches White Stainless Steel Item Price : $120Use descriptions that identify what is unique about each:
Mens G-Shock Watches Solar Powered GW6900A-7

Duplicated Products on Homepage and category pages
I have some of my best sellers located on the homepage of my websites. These same products may also appear on the category page as well. On the home page and the category page, the product title, short description, thumbnail, etc. are exact duplicates and I am afraid this is hurting me. I would appreciate any advice you may have on how to deal with this issue. These are some of my best sellers and most often, the homepage will outrank the category page for the product. Thanks in advance, lordhenry

Duplicate page titles
We have search results pages on our site. They share the same page title, there is no real differentiator between the result pages, other than page 1, page 2 etc. How do we de-dup the titles? just add page 1/2/3 etc to the end of them?

3 keywords optomize for home page. Should I create page with thoses keywords or leave it like this?
My online store home page, Furnace Filters Canada has 3 keywords with good ranking in google.ca keywords: ''furnace filters canada'' rank #1 position in google.ca keywords: ''furnace filters'' and ''furnace filter'' are on 5 or 6th position of page 1 in google.ca Those keywords are bringing most of the traffic to our site. To achieve this ranking, I had to use the On-Page Keyword Optimization, tool from seoMoz Questions: It is possible for me to create a page with the URL: https://www.furnacefilterscanada.com/Furnace-Filters or https://www.furnacefilterscanada.com/Furnace-Filter Can this improve my ranking with keywords like, ''furnace filters'' and ''furnace filter''? Is this a waist of time? If I decide to create a new page for optimization with, do I have to create one for singular and another one for plural? Creating a new page also mean removing, '' Furnace Filter'' in the home page title, until the new pages are index, I'm afraid to loss that 5th position in Google. Should I leave the home page title like it is now, '' Furnace Filter - Furnace Filters Canada - Online Shopping Store NOTE: we only do business in Canada, that is why Google.ca is more important to us Thank you, Jean Nichols

Do product pages need unique content or does having duplcate content hurt on those pages?
We are adding product rapidly to our website but this requires allowing duplicate to exist on our product pages of furniture-online.com. From an SEO standpoint do we need to make this content unique for each product. Since we aren't link building to specific product pages and we don't anticipate product pages being found in a search result, are we ok leaving the duplicate content in place and spending our dollars elsewhere?

Page Indexing
Hello All Nice easy question! I've made some on page changes to page titles, content, H1s etc but wanted to know if there was a way to check if Google has reindexed the page since the changes were made? I appreciate the different factors that will help improve your crawl rate like new content, external links, domain authority etc. I made these changes around 2 weeks ago. Google has cached the pages since I made the changes but not picked up on the new page titles in the search results. Cheers Todd
