I really need some help with Magento and Duplicate Page Content results I;m getting
-
Hi,
We use Magento for our eCommerce platform and I'm getting a number of duplicate page content results.
It mainly concerns the duplicate page content errors for our category pages.
Firstly It seems like the product type and filter options highlighted in the picture are causing duplicate page content
Also one particularity category is getting a lot from duplicate page content errors , http://www.tidy-books.co.uk/shop-all-products
I understand that this category page is using duplicate pages of other category pages so I set this to exclude them from the site map but it looks likes its till being picked up?
I've attached the csv file showing these errors as well. - >
Any help would be massively appreciated
Thanks

This is one of the great joys of Magento. Luckily we are magento specialists here to help
First be sure that you setup the canonical URL setting for category pages!
in System->Configuration->catalog->SEOSecond Noindex,Follow al filtered view (has to be done with a technical change, if you need help contact me)
You can also read this great resource by Yoast.

Hi,
Without looking at these issues in more detail, it can be awkward to see exactly what is going on.
That said, if you are looking to exclude pages from Google via the sitemap, this won't do an awful lot for you. You will need to noindex the pages, or better still, use rel=canonical tags to tell Google which pages are duplicate and which ones they should reference.
Remember that the sitemap and canonical are only suggestions to Google and there is still a chance that they can bypass them, although that isn't the case the vast majority of times.

Duplicate Content - Different URLs and Content on each
Seeing a lot of duplicate content instances of seemingly unrelated pages. For instance, http://www.rushimprint.com/custom-bluetooth-speakers.html?from=topnav3 is being tracked as a duplicate of http://www.rushimprint.com/custom-planners-diaries.html?resultsperpg=viewall. Does anyone else see this issue? Is there a solution anyone is aware of?

http://www.website.co.uk/news/archive/2015/01 (Jan) I am wondering if there's a duplicate issue here or not given that I also articles by month as well and if so how best I handle this.? I already do pagination on my news pages (page 1 , page 2) by using rel=next and rel=Prev but I don't have an canconical or anything as yet. I enclose a couple of links if this would help and would appreciate if someone could take a browse. I have a View All link on my homepage for for all news items - http://goo.gl/JPPIvQ I which have a different urls - March 2015 Articles - http://goo.gl/0O1wYD and April 2015 articles - http://goo.gl/GdW2oK On another note, These articles are also linked to from the relevant category landing pages on my website to help with SEO. I have not used H tags on the article links in my landing pages , just displaying the weblink back to the news article.I've done this to try and improve the PR and rankings of my landing pages. Just wondered if anyone has any comments as to whether thats a good or bad idea and whether I could improve it in any way - An example is here (scroll down the page to the pressure washing guides) - http://goo.gl/nnRE49 Thanks Pete0 -

Home Page .index.htm and .com Duplicate Page Content/Title
I have been whittling away at the duplicate content on my clients' sites, thanks to SEOmoz's pro report, and have been getting push back from the account manager at register.com (the site was built here and the owner doesn't want to move it). He says these are the exact same page and he can't access one to redirect to the other. Any suggestions? The SEOmoz report says there is duplicate content on both these urls: Durango Mountain Biking | Durango Mountain Resort - Cascade Village http://www.cascadevillagehotel.com/index.htm Durango Mountain Biking | Durango Mountain Resort - Cascade Village http://www.cascadevillagehotel.com/ Your help is greatly appreciated!

Duplicate Page Content
I've got several pages of similar products that google has listed as duplicate content. I have them all set up with rel="prev" and rel="next tags telling google that they are part of a group but they've still got them listed as duplicates. Is there something else I should do for these pages or is that just a short falling of googles webmaster tools? One of the pages: http://www.jaaronwoodcountertops.com/wood-countertop-gallery/walnut-countertop-9.html
