Dupliacate page content from Moz which I need soem help with
-
Hi
Just checked a diagnostic report in moz and we are getting duplicate page content for
and
attached is the screen shot
Does anyone know how to fix this in magento?
Thanks

Now this may cause some debate, personally I prefer the www version, you can see that moz prefers the non www version and there is a article here http://www.searchenginejournal.com/canonicalization-seo-should-i-use-www-or-not/6950/ that may help you make your own decision.
Basically choose one and stick with it.

Great thanks for the answers. Does it matter which one you choose?

Dennis is correct you must select just one for consistency. As you are using Magento this redirect tutorial may be useful for you:

Don't forget to set your preferred domain in Google webmaster tool: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/44231?hl=en
As a general .htaccess redirect this may help others:
Add the www.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]Remove the www.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^yourdomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301] -
Do a 301 to one.
Be sure that your whole website uses just one of the 2. Pick from the www or non-www one.
As long as you can access both, Moz will keep showing you that you have duplicate content.

Perhaps my situation was different, but I just told our hosting company (bluehost) to make the domain.com redirect to the www.domain.com and it solved the problem. Would a similar solution not work for you?
Best of luck,
Ruben

Technical SEO | | TadiBrothers
I can not understand why google do not index all the video pages?
I never blocked them with the robots.txt file, there are no noindex/nofollow tags on the pages. The only video page that I found in search results is the main video category page: https://www.tadibrothers.com/videos and 1 video page out of 150 videos: https://www.tadibrothers.com/video/front-side-rear-view-cameras-for-backup-camera-systems I hope someone can point me to the right way0 -

Duplicate Page Content for sorted archives?
Experienced backend dev, but SEO newbie here 🙂 When SEOmoz crawls my site, I get notified of DPC errors on some list/archive sorted pages (appending ?sort=X to the url). The pages all have rel=canonical to the archive home. Some of the pages are shorter (have only one or two entries). Is there a way to resolve this error? Perhaps add rel=nofollow to the sorting menu? Or perhaps find a method that utilizes a non-link navigation method to sort / switch sorted pages? No issues with duplicate content are showing up on google webmaster tools. Thanks for your help!

Backlinks to home page vs internal page
Hello, What is the point of getting a large amount of backlinks to internal pages of an ecommerce site? Although it would be great to make your articles (for example) strong, isn't it more important to build up the strength of the home page. All of My SEO has had a long term goal of strengthening the home page, with just enough backlinks to internal pages to have balance, which is happening naturally. The home page of our main site is what comes up on tons of our keyword searches since it is so strong. Please let me know why so much effort is put into getting backlinks to internal pages. Thank you,

If I create a page that pulls a 10 snippets of information from various external site, would that content be considered duplicate content? If I link to the source, would it be recommended to use a "nofollow" tag?
