How do i fix my duplicte page issues on Prestashop platform?
-
I have tried many things such as rel-canonical, duplicate url redirect modules, but still im looking at over 70 duplicate page titles. Most of this is because the same title is used across all the pages and im not sure if this is possible to change. (ex: http://apostolicclothing.com/15-modest-womens-dresses, http://apostolicclothing.com/15-modest-womens-dresses?p=2)

Hi Nathaniel,
Sorry to be late to the party, but I just noticed this because I was doing some research on Prestashop and SEO. (Considering helping a client on that platform.)
I came across a person who might be able to help you - Lesley Paone.
Lesley is "an expert in PrestaShop development and is also a PrestaShop certified developer. He is also one of the global moderators of PrestaShop's e-ecommerce forum, which is one of the largest e-commerce forums on the internet. He is also an SEO relating to e-commerce sites and is very active on the SEO forums for Moz as well." You can find him on Twitter at @lesleypaone, on his site at dh42.com, and by private messaging him here on Moz.
Good luck!

So....is there no other way to fix this? so far i was told to change the robot file and to change it back but no other fix?
-
oops i already added that to the robot file, will remove it. Its definitely a pagination issue. I have multiple pages but of course being a database backed site, i cant change the titles of each page (at least i don't know how to in SQL). Thanks for the catch, i've been trying to fix this issue for almost 6 months with non canonical tags, etc but I'm still getting all the red flags.

**(what Andy stated above, sorry Andy, that's a disallow, not a noindex). **
Whoops - good catch
-
Are these issues caused by pagination? Page 1, Page 2, Page 3 things? A canonical is not exactly right. A noindex would be best, (noindex,follow) specifically, just make sure that tag isn't put on page 1. You want page 1 in the index.
I would no suggest disallowing the crawling of the pages (what Andy stated above, sorry Andy, that's a disallow, not a noindex).
I am not sure how to change this for just the paginated pages though. I'd look for a noindex module in the Prestashop Modules area.
-
I would have suggested a rel=canonical, but as you can't get this working, have you thought about just no-indexing those pages? Adding the following line to your robots.txt should solve it:
Disalllow: ?p=
Then add this to the robots tester in Webmaster tools before committing to it.

Unique Pages with Thin Content vs. One Page with Lots of Content
Is there anyone who can give me a definitive answer on which of the following situations is preferable from an SEO standpoint for the services section of a website? 1. Many unique and targeted service pages with the primary keyword in the URL, Title tag and H1 - but with the tradeoff of having thin content on the page (i.e. 100 words of content or less). 2. One large service page listing all services in the content. Primary keyword for URL, title tag and H1 would be something like "(company name) services" and each service would be in the H2 title. In this case, there is lots of content on the page. Yes, the ideal situation would be to beef up content for each unique pages, but we have found that this isn't always an option based on the amount of time a client has dedicated to a project.

Is there any decent web browser that still displays the full page title at the top of the page?
I just updated to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac and saw that they now hide most of the page title in the browser tab, like Chrome and Safari. I like to be able to see the full page title at all times (for reasons I'm sure you all understand) and that's pretty much the only reason I stuck with Firefox all these years. Now I'm looking for an alternative – any suggestions?

Can you 301 redirect to a page that has other pages 301 to it?
Two years ago updated url page to include better keywords and used a 301 redirect from the old page to the new. so www.example.com/keyword-1st-generation.html now points to ... www.example.com/keyword-2nd-generation.html That moved the pages up in ranking, but now have better kw for the url, so is it okay to redirect the /keyword-2nd-geration-html to www.example.com/keyword-3rd-generation.html And what is a good length of time before removing the 1st-generation url? It's been 3 years and there is no chance of using it again. Plus, no sign of it in analytics.

Jquery in top of page vs text on bottom page
Is it the best way to use jquery sliders on the top of your page to still get all your text above the fold and score in search engines? for example: http://www.wolf-howl.com/wp-conte... is much better to score high ranks in search engines than http://www.wolf-howl.com/wp-conte... ?? Thanks!

A client's site has HTTPS versions of every page for their site and it is possible to view both http and https versions of the page. Do the search engines view this as duplicate content?

Why some pages are not indexed?
I have a furniture´s ecommerce. When searching for "site: movstore.com.br" returned 1080 results, but if I search for "site: movstore.com.br / Product" returned 1020 results. I mean, that 1080 indexed pages, 1020 are products pages and the other 60 pages are irrelevant. Where are the category pages? "site: movstore.com.br / Categories" - 0 results
