Hi!

Actually you are doing well, as creating original product pages is the best option in order to avoid duplicated content issues.

I want to discuss more on this sentence. I am trying to establish user friendly experience on my eCommerce website by adding specific product description from manufacturer website to my website.

But, I am getting issue in ranking since last 3 days. My major keywords Office Chairs, Patio Umbrellas & Table Lamps are going down around -10 position. I have drill down more on it and come to know about this issue.

I have added product description from manufacturer website to my website in these category products. I am 100% sure, Google is giving rank drop due to this issue.

CommercePundit

This is very good discussion on duplicate content. Ranking is going down on my website since last 3 days.

I have done drill down with SEO latest update and come to know about duplicate content on product pages.

My website contain true duplicate content on product page. But, I have found duplicate content on competitor website. (overstock)

They are not getting any issue regarding ranking. But, my certain category level page getting issue with ranking. I have added true duplicate in more than 2000 pages from manufacturer website to my website.

I am going to recover it by removing duplicate content or adding unique content on product page. Is there any additional inputs from SEOmoz users?

Competitor website:

http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Delano-Sectional-Sofa-and-Storage-Ottoman-Set/5971863/product.html

My website:

Hello, Required emergency help, one of client website http://www.mediaxpress.net/ is not being crawled since last 15 days, What can be the reason. I have Checked Google Webmaster Tools, it not showing an Issue and even SEOmoz crawler is crawling it normally. I have updated some data on pages, and i want to get it crawled by Google. But Google is not crawling in anyway.

Dr. Peter J. Meyers

After long discussion, I can conclude that, I have to go with NOINDEX. Let's see what happen in next 4 months. Then, I will re-evaluate it for better performance. As per your suggestion, it's quite tricky to change tactics on weekly bases and it may not help us more in same direction. Thanks for your valuable time on my question and prompt reply on each question.

CommercePundit

Dr. Peter J. Meyers

Sorry, I'm a bit confused, because these sample URLs/situations seem very different from the ones you originally asked about.

I have changed URL structure in entire website and make it more SEO friendly.

but if your index exploded and you've got hundreds or thousands of thin pages, it may be worth doing in the short-term.

I have attached Index Status for Vista Stores screenshot to know more about it.

There are 12,000 product pages + 100 categories + 30 blog posts + 20 static pages + 1 home page = 12,151 pages are important for me and want to index and rank well.

Now, rest of pages are not duplicate ~ not near duplicate or true duplicate.

Just have a look at following pages.

http://www.vistastores.com/office-chairs/shopby/p-2

http://www.vistastores.com/office-chairs/shopby/p-3

Why should I set canonical tag pointing to base URL as follow. Because, page 2 and 3 does not contain any single product which is available on base page. So, Can we calculate as a duplicate? OR Will Google count as duplicate.

Dr. Peter J. Meyers

I'm coming back on this question after 5 months. I have implemented Canonical tag to following pages. But, It did not work well and indexed too many duplicate content.

Narrow by search:

http://www.vistastores.com/office-chairs/shopby/manufacturer-boss

CommercePundit

Justin,

We can go with this way, but again there is one issue, as I told you that I don't have only one page on root domains, have entire same structure & all pages on root domains, then how can i all redirect to one sub folder, If I would have single page or landing page then I can redirect to new created sub folder.

And let's say I don't want to change anything in other root domains, then Do you have any other solution for the same..?

CommercePundit

Yeah, Justin Thanks for your reply. 2000 visits per day is huge visits, that's why I am looking proper solution for the same & at the same time traffics which are coming from root domains should not be affected..

CommercePundit

Thanks Justin for your quick reply,

But still I would like to share one thing to you that currently i am getting 2000 visits per day from all different root domains as I've customized Google e-commerce tracking code to track visits from all domains & if i will put canonical tag in other domains as you said, then Is there any chance to down the traffic from different domains which are coming right now, because I am getting huge traffic from those domains, so isn't it risky..?

So what can i do in this case? Should i do try with canonical tag or what.? What is your opinion in this case..?

CommercePundit

Hello,

I’m doing SEO for one E-commerce website which name is Lily Ann Cabinets & I’ve around 300 different root domains which having same linking structures, same design & even same product database for all 300 websites, but currently I’m focusing only on Lily Ann Cabinets website & trying to get ranking on some targeted keywords, but website is not performing well in Google.com

For Example:

http://www.lilyanncabinets.com/ (Main Websites)
http://www.orlandocabinets.com/
http://www.chicagocabinets.org/
http://www.miamicabinets.org/
http://www.newyorkcabinets.org/
http://www.renocabinets.org/

So please can anyone tell that Will it create duplicate issue in search engines or may be due to this reason website doesn’t have good ranking in search engines, then how can I fix this issue? Do I have to make different structures for Lily Ann Cabinets?

CommercePundit

I am quite late to add my reply on this question. Because, I was busy to fix issue regarding dynamic URLs.

I have made following changes on my website.

I have re-write all dynamic URLs and make it static one exclude session ID and internal search option. Because, I have restricted both version via Robots.txt.
I have set canonical to near duplicate pages which Dr.Pete described in Duplicate content in post panda world.

I want to give one live example to know more about it.

Base URL: http://www.vistastores.com/patio-umbrellas

Dynamic URLs: It was dynamic but, I have re-write to make it static one. But canonical tag to base URL is available on each near duplicate pages which are as follow.

Now, I am looking forward towards Google crawling and How Google treat all canonical pages. I am quite excited to see changes in organic ranking with distribution of page rank in website. Thanks for your insightful reply.

Today, I was reading Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: More guidance on building high-quality sites.

I found one interesting statement over there.

Low-quality content on some parts of a website can impact the whole site’s rankings.

Why should I like to discuss on this topic? Because, I have made big change on my website via narrow by search.

I want to give specific result to know more about it.

This is my category page: http://www.vistastores.com/patio-umbrellas

Left narrow by search section is creating accurate page for specific attribute products.

California Umbrella:
http://www.vistastores.com/patio-umbrellas/shopby/manufacturer-california-umbrella

From above page following page is accessible.

http://www.vistastores.com/patio-umbrellas/shopby/canopy-shape-search-octagonal/manufacturer-california-umbrella

Sunbrella Patio Umbrellas:
http://www.vistastores.com/patio-umbrellas/shopby/canopy-fabric-search-sunbrella

Similar story for this page. Following page can accessible from above page.

http://www.vistastores.com/patio-umbrellas/shopby/canopy-fabric-search-sunbrella/finish-search-wood

My website have 100+ categories, 11,000 products.

I have checked indexed pages in Google for my website.

https://www.google.com/search?q=info%3Awww.vistastores.com&pws=0&gl=US#hl=en&safe=off&pws=0&gl=US&q=site:www.vistastores.com&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=910893d99351c8f7&biw=1366&bih=547

It shows me 35,000+ crawled pages which are developed by left navigation section.

So, Will it consider as low quality pages? I want to improve my website performance without delete these pages.

CommercePundit

Today, I was checking my Google webmaster tools and found 16,000 duplicate title tags and duplicate meta description.

I have investigate for this issue and come to know about as follow.

I have changed URL structure for 11,000 product pages on 3rd July, 2012 and set up 301 redirect from old product pages to new product pages.

Google have started to crawl my new product pages but, De-Indexing of old URLs are quite slower. That's why I found this issue on Google webmaster tools.

Can anyone suggest me, How can I increase ratio of De-Indexing for old URLs? OR any other suggestions? How much time Google will take to De-Index old URLs from web search?

Hello Everyone,

I have issue in my Page, My category page (http://www.bannerbuzz.com/custom-vinyl-banners.html) is regular cached in past, but before sometime it can't show the cached result in SERP and not show in cached result , I have also fetch this link in google web master, but can't get the result, it is showing following message.

404. That’s an error. The requested URL /search?q=cache%3A http%3A//www.bannerbuzz.com/custom-vinyl-banners.html was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

My category page rank is 2 and its keyword is on first in google.com, so i am little bit worried about this page cache issue, Can someone please tell me why is this happening? Is this a temporary issue? Help me to solve out this cache issue and once again my page will regularly cache in future.

Thanks

I'm again on this question. Because, I'm going to make big change on URLs.

1. Product Pages

2. Narrow by Search Pages.

I don't have issue with product pages. But, Narrow by search pages create with too many nesting sub directories as follow.

http://www.vistatables.com/chandeliers/shopby/finish-search/other/glass-shade-type-search/other/manufacturer/elk-lighting/material-search/glass/no-of-bulbs-search/3-light/price/3,100/product-type-search/cone-chandeliers/style-search/traditional

Can you suggest me best one for this kind of structure? I have read Google official guidelines and Randfish post on it. But, I have just mind set & want to get some additional inputs via this question.

CommercePundit

XML Sitemap is helping you to provide information to Google! Your website is small and ranking well is so, that's really good.

First of all, XML sitemap will not create any negative effect to your existing ranking. So, you have to go for XML Sitemap.

XML Sitemap can help you to measure total number of pages and existence of indexed pages. If your indexing value will go down so, you can drill down more to improve it.

One another thing, you can provide image information in your XML sitemap and that will help you to improve impression and clicks from Google image search.

And bigger picture is that, you'll never be small ... Your website will be big in future so, why should not start to follow standard practice of SEO to get maximum in future.

I hope, it will work for you!

@Cyrus

You have given very good explanation. But, I have similar issue for image sitemap. If we are talking about crawling & indexing ratio so, it's quite good. You can know more by attachment.

You can check syntax of image sitemap by following XML.

Can you give me input ::: How can I improve crawling and indexing for images?

Today, I have read about Phantom Indexed in Google search result. Because, I was searching about 301 redirect due to indexing of 301 redirected old URLs in Google search result rather than new landing pages.

I've added my comment on jennita's blog post about 301 redirect. I would like to paste similar question over here!

I have 301 redirected following 3 domains to new website...

http://www.lampslightingandmore.com/ To http://www.vistastores.com/table-lamps

http://www.vistapatioumbrellas.com/ To http://www.vistastores.com/patio-umbrellas

http://www.spiderofficechairs.com/ To http://www.vistastores.com/office-chairs

I have done it before 3 months but, Google still shows me home page URL in search result rather than new landing page. You can check following search results to know more about it.

For LampsLightingandMore ~ On second or third page:::

For VistaPatioUmbrellas ~ On second or third page:::

For SpiderOfficeChairs ~ On Second or third page:::

I come to know about Phantom Indexed after raised my comment over there. So, why should not start discussion on it. Because, It's all about branding and who'll love to hang old address in front of new home.

CommercePundit

This is good for me... Let me drill down more on that article.... I'll check in Google webmaster tools before make it live on server... So, It may help me more to achieve 100% perfection in task!

CommercePundit

I hope, following one is for me... Right?

Disallow: /*?

CommercePundit

I'm agree to deal with Robots.txt. But, my website have 1000+ attributes for narrow by search & I don't want to disallow all dynamic pages by Robots.txt.

Will it flexible for me to handle? And answer is no!

What you think about it?

CommercePundit

Today, I have checked Bing webmaster tools and come to know about Ignore URL parameters.

Bing webmaster tools shows me certain parameters for URLs where I have added META Robots with NOINDEX FOLLOW syntax.

I can see canopy_search_fabric parameter in suggested section. It's due to following kind or URLs.

http://www.vistastores.com/patio-umbrellas?canopy_fabric_search=1728

http://www.vistastores.com/patio-umbrellas?canopy_fabric_search=1729

http://www.vistastores.com/patio-umbrellas?canopy_fabric_search=1730

http://www.vistastores.com/patio-umbrellas?canopy_fabric_search=2239

But, I have added META Robots NOINDEX Follow to disallow crawling. So, why should it happen?

CommercePundit

I've very simple question for not found error pages. Does it really require to set up 301 redirect for all not found error pages which detected in Google webmaster tools? Honestly, I don't want to set 301 redirect exclude externally connected pages. So, what will impact on ranking after follow this process?

CommercePundit

I have removed all pages from my old website and set 301 redirect to new website. But, I have verified old website with Google webmaster tools' HTML verification file which enable me to track all data and existence of pages in Google search for my old website. I was assumed that, Google will stop crawling and DE-indexed all pages after 301 redirect. Because, I have set 301 redirect before 3 months.

Now, I'm able to see Google bot activity on my website with help of Google webmaster tools. You can find out attachment to know more about it. How can it possible & How Google can crawl removed pages?

You can see following image to know more about it.

I come to know about this blog post by recent blog post on Penguins, Pandas, and Panic at the Zoo! I have very good experience with example number 6. Honestly, It's working without any issue towards performance and ranking.

But, I have very critical issue after implementation. I bought new home but, I have to hang Sign board with my old address.

I want to give live example with Google search result. I have removed my old website and set 301 to new category page due to duplication issue. Honestly, Who will like to mesh up performance in panda update?

There are 56,311 links & 551 source domains pointing to my old home page. Just see this one!

I'm creating quality links to my new category page where 301 redirect set from old home page to category page.

I have big mind bubble about display of URL in search result. Why Google shows old home page URL in search result? Does it require to create 56,311 + 1 links or 551 + 1 source domains to get appear my new address?

CommercePundit

Today, I have read very interesting blog post about meta description:Improve snippets with a meta description makeover
