Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Your right. There are a few pages with unique titles already but there are several that are dups.

That's what I was thinking but just wanted to get rid of it if I could.

Thanks. We try to make them nice. I'm going to work on adding some content to each page but it does get difficult when they're so similar. I may just do a few pages and have them indexed and the others noindex.

The duplicate content is showing up as dup. titles and description tags. Do you think that if I added titles like "Photographs of J. Aaron Wood Countertops and Butcher Block | Image One" to all the pages and then changed just the image number that would be enough to eliminate the dup. title issues? Would that make any difference if the content is the same?

It sounds like you're all pretty much saying the same thing as far as the options go. I was so happy when I learned about the rel=prev/next tags.

Do you guys think I should add noindex to all the pages now and as I add content remove the noindex or should I just leave them as they are and start adding the content as I get time? Which is worse for overall site rankings, loosing content or having duplicate content?

Dr. Meyers: The duplicate content is showing up as dup. titles and descriptions. Do you think that if I added titles like "Photographs of J.

Thanks guys.

I've got several pages of similar products that google has listed as duplicate content. I have them all set up with rel="prev" and rel="next tags telling google that they are part of a group but they've still got them listed as duplicates. Is there something else I should do for these pages or is that just a short falling of googles webmaster tools?

One of the pages: http://www.jaaronwoodcountertops.com/wood-countertop-gallery/walnut-countertop-9.html

I have a extra page that google has indexed:

www.jaaronwoodcountertops.com/?iframe=true&width=80%&height=80%

Google has it listed as a page with duplicate content as my index page. I've tried to redirect it but the redirect isn't working on this one. Anyone have an idea of how to deal with this guy?

When I check my bing cached page it comes up with a "Reported Web Forgery!" warning. I've looked at google web tools and no malware has been detected. I do have another site that has a very similar web address jaaronwoodcountertops.com and jaaron-wood-countertops.com. Could that be why? How do I go about letting bing and or firefox know this is not a forgery site?

I own a company and usually write my own blogs but not every time. The times I don't I pay to have them written and thus own the copy. Can an author be a company and the link point to the company about us page?

It's not that I don't want to rank for that but I've focused most of my effort on the individual pages the thumbs point to. I was going to add some content about the individual wood's to the gallery pages but just haven't done it yet.

Where can I learn more about the Jquery Sliders stuff? If I added it would the page load quickly or would it call up all the thumbs on one page even though they may not be visible?

Thanks,

Josh

Hello,

I've got a site that's product based but it's custom countertops so nothing that has a model number. I've added schema (hopefully in the correct fashion) to mark up my gallery pages which are made up of thumbnails that then lead to a single product page. I would love it if someone would take a quick look and let me know if this is the correct way to use it. Here is the code for the

<ul itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageGallery" id="image-gallery-thumbnails" title="Iroko Countertops and Butcher Block Island Photographs">
