Duplicate content - Product Categories
-
Dears,
I've use "Site Crawl" tool to find any SEO warnings, and I found 991 duplicated content. The problem is that the pages are not duplicated its all products category pages, please check this exmaple:
This page:
https://www.jobedu.com/en/shop/category/prints/Postcards/na/all-colors/all-size
and this page:
https://www.jobedu.com/en/shop/category/Accessories/keychain/na/all-colors/all-size
It said its duplicated, and it's 991 pages!
How to fix this this? what I can do?

It's best practice to include +/-100 word Category Descriptions above your product listings. Adding a useful and robust "buyers guide" below the products is also extremely helpful. I'd be less concerned about "duplicate content" warnings from crawlers if your pages are ranking well. We get plenty of warnings from DeepCrawl for pages that are ranking in the top 3 for highly competitive terms.

I looked at your source code and searched for product names and couldn't find any. This tell me that your products are being pulled in with JavaScript, which I confirmed by disabling/enabling JS, products don't show with it disabled. Since JS is populating your product lists, and that's the only real difference on each page, Moz is flagging it as duplicate because the source code is more than 90% the same. In order to fix this, you'll have to either pull in products a different way, or figure out a way to create unique content for each page that isn't rendered via JS.

Hi,
You need to categorize them as canonical url's (rel=canonical ), you can do this pretty simply in CMS's like Magento etc. - just Google for a guide
“Canonical links”, is an HTML element that helps webmasters prevent duplicate content issues. It does this by specifying the “canonical URL”, the “preferred” version of a web page. Using it well improves a site’s SEO. Source

Duplicate Page Titles & Content
We have just launched a new version of a website and after running it through SEOMOZ we have over 6000 duplicate title & content errors. (awesome) 😕 We have products that show up multiple times under different URLs however we "thought" we had implemented the rel=canonical correctly. My question is - do these errors still show up in SEOMOZ despite the canonical tags being there OR if they were "correct" would we be getting "zero" errors?

Error on duplicated content, but when checking shouldn't been possible
Dear all, Every week I look at the different crawl reports for our website, since the start of my SeoMoz membership the Errors for duplicated content and duplicated Title is rising. But if I take out the .csv file and look in more detail, and select a pages which is marked as duplicated content, a canonical is actually existing on this page. So it shouldn't be an warning, I have no idea what the issue could be. For example pagesare marked as duplicated content, <colgroup><col width="966"></colgroup>

To overcome duplicated content we coded that a canonical tag onis placed on every page with parameters and the main page is http://www.zylom.com/es/descargar-juegos/3-en-raya/ but it doesn't seem to work, because my error warnings are still rising. Please advice me Kind regards, Ms Letty van Eembergen0 -

Is there a way to specify what SEOmoz classes as duplicate content?
Hi all, Currently working through the laundry list of errors and warning on our company's 24 websites. Due to the ridiculous amount of on page links and the sheer volume of products on our sites, much of the descriptive text is similar, following a strict pattern to best mention our USPs and the like. Of course we use a CMS, which means that all the pages look the same and draw this information from the style sheet. Anyways, to the problem at hand. I have been tasked with reducing the "error" count on the SEOmoz admin panel, the problem being SEOmoz is reporting duplicate page content, when they are different, but similar products, for example, 35, 45 and 55 litre refrigeration units. Is there a way in which I can specify what classes as duplicate content, or make the duplicate content report more restrictive, so that everything HAS to be the same for this error to show. Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

404 Page/Content Duplicates & its "Warning"
My website has MANY duplicate pages and content which are both derived from the MANY 404 pages on my website. While these are flagged in SEOmoz as "Warnings," should this be of concern to SEO effectiveness?

Duplicate page titles are the same URL listed twice
The system says I have two duplicate page titles. The page titles are exactly the same because the two URLs are exactly the same. These same two identical URLs show up in the Duplicate Page Content also - because they are the same. We also have a blog and there are two tag pags showing identical content - I have blocked the blog in robots.txt now, because the blog is only for writers. I suppose I could have just blocked the tags pages.
