Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have been working with Magento over the last few weeks and I am becoming increasingly frustrated with the way it is setup. If you go to a product page and remove the sub folders one by one you can reach the same product pages causing duplicate content. All magento sites seem to have this weakness. So use this site as an example because I know it is built on magento, http://www.gio-goi.com/men/clothing/tees/throve-t-short.html?cid=756 As you remove the tees then the clothing and men sub folders you can still reach the product page. My first querstion is how big an issue is this and two does anyone have any ideas of how to solve it? Also I was wondering how does google treat question marks in urls? Should you try and avoid them unless you are filtering? Thanks

For a link profile to look natural what percentage of all root domains should link to your homepage compared to deep pages? Thanks

There are 2 parts to my question, Part 1 - Does anyone have any advice on how to optimize for google places and do you know of any good links to any resources on this topic? Part 2 - Is there a way to optimize feed submissions to shopping search engines like google base, shopzilla etc. Thanks

If you are browsing a site, what is the best way or programs to use to see if the page has been indexed and cached? Thanks

If your cms has created two urls for the same piece of content that look like the following, www.domianname.com/stores and www.domianname.com/stores/, will this be seen as duplicate content by google? Your tools seem to pick it up as errors. Does one of the urls need 301 to the other to clear this up, or is it not a major problem? Thanks.
