Global Product Tabs and SEO
-
I am looking at a site that has global or duplicated content in 4 tabs for things like shipping, quality etc on tabs on each product page. The content is very good for UX and helps conversions but poor for SEO. Each product page has unique and tagged photos, unique title and a unique description. Is there away to specifically tell search engines that individual parts of a page are duplicated for good reason?
Linking to the content to a single page decreases conversion dramatically but having it on tabs could effect ranking and quality as it is duplicated. Can anyone offer any advice with this?

We have tabbed content that's the same across PDPs on one of our sites. I highly doubt it will hurt you. Cutts has stated that duplicate content isn't a big deal for ecommerce sites.

Hi,
Yes what are you looking to do is implement a canonical tag this way you can point to the pages that have the large amount of quality data and it will essentially tell Google that this is essentially content that will be considered okay / non-duplicate not for one page and it will stop the search engine from thinking it is duplicate content it is very similar to a redirect here is some more information.
It is also very simple to implement for instance this is a example of using the code
http://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content
http://www.hobo-web.co.uk/duplicate-content-problems/
http://moz.com/learn/seo/canonicalization
http://moz.com/blog/rel-confused-answers-to-your-rel-canonical-questions
in addition to running the Moz campaign I would do a quick check of your site with a few tools
https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test
http://www.hobo-web.co.uk/auditor/
http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/screaming-frog-guide
use with
http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/
http://deepcrawl.co.uk ( if you have a larger site over 100,000 URI this is the tool for you)
I hope the references I have given above along with information I have shared will be enough to help you fixed the duplicate content issue.
here is a what word Friday with Rand discussing canonical tag and cross domain while cross domain may not be relevant the information about the canonical tag is very relevant so I have chosen to give you this link in addition to the video attached below because I do not know which is easier for you to use.

deep crawl ( a truly awesome tool)
screaming frog SEO spider ( outstanding tool but larger sites hundred thousand pages or more deep crawl is what you want)
I hope this is of some help
sincerely,
Thomas

Acquired domains for SEO
hi there, For one of our insurance websites we acquired a domain, this domain is going to be redirected to our domain. After some research we discovered the domain we've bought also includes other domains which 301 redirect to specific 'insurance products'. These domains are also included in the deal. But what is the best technical solution for redirecting these specific redirected product domains? They already redirect to the product pages of the domain we've bought, so after redirect this domain, the sub (product) redirected domains will also link to us. It would be like this: A) www.sub-carinsurancesite.nl (301) -> www.domain-we-bought.com/car-insurance -> www.ourdomain.com/car-insurance

Duplicate Content on Product Pages
Hello I'm currently working on two sites and I had some general question's about duplicate content. For the first one each page is a different location, but the wording is identical on each; ie it says Instant Remote Support for Critical Issues, Same Day Onsite Support with a 3-4 hour response time, etc. Would I get penalized for this? Another question i have is, we offer Antivirus support for providers ie Norton, AVG,Bit Defender etc. I was wondering if we will get penalized for having the same first paragraph with only changing the name of the virus provider on each page? My last question is we provide services for multiple city's and towns in various states. Will I get penalized for having the same content on each page, such as towns and producuts and services we provide? Thanks.

Wordpress Problems.. SEO-Yoast is Toast?
Hello; I have installed the WP Yoast Widget in my Blog, and 2 weeks, after my issues went away, they came back X's 300! lol So I uninstalled it, and my issues obviously got worse, and then I re-activated, and reset everything, and still got the 300+ issues. Is there a secondary plug in you would suggest, to run at the same time as Yoats, or theat will fix all issues? Ever think of making an SEOmoz Widget for WP since it is gaining so much popularity?? Thank you Great work by the way! Loved the Webinar today!
