Hello Dana,
It works perfectly! I entered one product under three different categories and the same URL showed for all three.
Thank You!

Hello Dana,
BigCommerce does allow a person to assign a product to multiple categories so it probably works the same way. I was under the impression that when one product was assigned to multiple categories that a different URL would be used for each category. If the same URL is used as with your store, my problem is solved. I will check that out.
Thank you very much!

Hello,
Thank you for responding to my question.
I'm not sure what you mean by this....."completely separate your product URLs from your category URLs". My level of knowledge isn't advanced.
I am building a BigCommerce store for selling framed art. Many of the pieces of art will fall in more than one product category.
Let's say I have a framed print of a photograph of a western landscape. This piece of art would fit into these categories; "western", "landscape", and "photography". I would have three pages with duplicate content for just this one framed print.
Will google give me less page rank due to this? Can all the link juice be given to just one of the three categories by use of rel=canonical? If so, does anyone know how to do this for a bigcommerce site?
I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
Kelly

Engineering BS from Idaho State University 1990. I Worked as an engineer for 3.5 years at the INL Naval Reactors Facility. I then decided to return to the family business, a retail western store with some custom manufacturing. I started a wholesale branch of the business (B Bar B Wholesale) to sell product to western and farm and ranch stores around 1997. I still manage B Bar B Wholesale and have added three websites, two for chaps, one for gloves, and another soon to be added website for selling western and wildlife framed art. In my years of being a small business owner I've had to become a jack of all trades and self teach myself many things including adobe photoshop to produce my own catalogs and advertising, quickbooks for accounting, excel for extensive and automated updates of manufacturing cost and price list updates, hands on design of new products, and a myriad of other things including website setup and management. I have now joined Moz.com to aid with another branch of learning, SEO and other useful website knowledge. Life would be much more simple as an engineer:)
