Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Lee, i agree with everything you say, however the point im trying to make is in this particular case Product name and Meta title would be the same. Possibly Long description and Meta description also.

Would the search engines pick up the product name and long description, or if i have to shall i duplicate the name and description to the meta tags?

Sorry to be a pain

Kind regards

Hi All,

Our website sells products online and is a prestashop system

Prestashop comes with a set form you use to fill in products, however to fill it all you end up creating alot of repeated data. What i need to know, is if you have:

Product name: Audi A6 Rear Lamp Set

Short Description: A Short & Sweet Description

Long Description: A Long Boring Description

Meta Title:  Same as product name

Meta Keywords: What more can be said about an A6 Rear Lamp Set???

Meta Description: Same as long and boring description

Im stuck in a position of having the ability to add extra information (i.e Meta-Tags) But really ill end up repeating what is already in the products natural listing.

In terms of good SEO, is it better to leave Meta Fields empty, or fill them in and be repetitive for product pages?

Thanks all, any guidance will be well appreciated

Hi Ryan,

I am the site owner and this is the precise reason im trying to take matters into my own hands.

<meta name="keywords" content="E60,Rear,lamp,set" />

I see what you mean, because this is actually ridiculous, not quite sure how it got into this state either.

Whats that saying, "if you want something done you have to do it yourself" Looks like i have to take a crash course in SEO to sort it all out.

Thanks very much for all your help.

Thank you very much Ryan, the columns on two sides of the page cant be helped as thats, how the site is, only the central content changes. However the duplicate keywords are for the products themselves, for example i sell 50 different BMW oil filters. Theres not much i can do about duplicating keywords as all of the products are very very similar.

I think you might be right about the site redesign....

No, its just regular HTML and PHP.

The link is www.incarmotorfactors.co.uk

thanks

So basically are you suggesting that i need to get busy obtaining better quality back links for my site?

Hi Ryan,

I used

On-Page Optimization Tools: Crawl Test. However this problem may be deeper than i first thought, as SEOMoz is not able to read any of my site info properly.

Open site explorer cant read it

Linkscape cant read the links. Crawl test isnt read properly, however my server and robots.txt files are fine, theres no blocking attempts from the server. Very strange.

Hi everyone,

I just recieved my crawl test report and its only given me 200 or so URL's when my site has thousands, any thoughts?

Hi there, Im having a few problems getting my site www.incarmotorfactors.co.uk up and running on SEOMoz and im not sure what im doing wrong.Firstly seomoz shows 2 links for my site... Which is wrong. Google shows alot more.

However the most noticable problem so far is Opensite explorer. When i type in the web address it shows

"No Data Available for this URL"

The site is more then a year old and has a few links, can anybody tell me what the problem may be?
