Been stuck on seo duplication issues shopify
-
hey there
we have been working on some of our webshops and recently started with analytics/moz,but we have basicly hit a brick wall when it comes to www.krawattenwelt.de since we have had 5k high priority issues (duplicate content) and 20k medium priority issues now i have tried a large amount of solutions regarding the duplicate content issues but it didnt work so we basicly reverted it back to for now and i have the feeling i am really running out of options is there anyone who has an idea on how to do this?
duplicate content issues are as follows
example:http://krawattenwelt.de/collections/budget-9-15
issues with:http://krawattenwelt.de/collections/budget-9-15/modell_normal
and with:http://krawattenwelt.de/collections/budget-9-15/modell_normal?page=1

Let us know how it goes, Rashad.
-
So right now i have changed our canonical code to
{% if template contains 'collection' and current_tags or canonical_url contains 'page' %}
{% else %}
{% endif %}
doing a recrawl a the moment hopefully it works

Pointing to themselves won't produce a duplicate
True, but won't get rid of duplicate either.

Your canonicals look to be in order. Pointing to themselves won't produce a duplicate, what this helps with is retaining strength from modified URLs like referrer IDs. For example, if example.com/product has a canonical pointing to itself and I link to example.com/product?refid=1234, the strength from my link is going to be correctly passed to the product page rather than a non-existent refid path.
Moz has a pretty comprehensive post on the topic that might clear somethings up if you're unsure.
While the canonicalisation will clear up things like ?page=1, I think a better approach here is going to be trying to remove the duplication rather than mask it.
Each of the above pages really are exact duplicates which means they're not actually helping the user at all. Perhaps simplifying this structure and offering less filtering options could help to significantly decrease the number of pages you have to manage, clear up a lot of the duplicate content problems and optimise your crawl budget as well.
As an example, rather than having a page for ties within a certain budget range, why not remove this option entirely? As a helpful alternative, show them all ties in a category and allow them to sort by price from low to high instead.
Hopefully this all makes sense!

Hi there.
Ok, time to brush up on canonicals
Canonical link is a link to another(!) page, if you want that page to "substitute" the original page in terms of ranking and juice flow in the eyes of search engines.
So, if you set canonical link to page itself (and that's how it is on pages you listed above), and those pages look exactly the same (and they do), of course they are going to be duplicates.
What you need to do is to set this-> http://krawattenwelt.de/collections/budget-9-15 as canonical for this-> http://krawattenwelt.de/collections/budget-9-15/modell_normal and use google parameter tool (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/crawl-url-parameters) to exclude this-> http://krawattenwelt.de/collections/budget-9-15/modell_normal?page=1 from indexing.
Cheers

Which Algorithm Change Hurt the Site? A causation/correlation issue
The attached graph is from google analytics, a correlation of about 14 months of Organic Google visits with algo changes, data from moz naturally 🙂 Is there any way to tell from this which will have affected the site? for example #1 or #2 seems to be responsible for the first dip, but #4 seems to fix it and it broke around 6, or is the rise between 4 and 7 an anomaly and actually 1 or 2 caused a slip from when it was released all the way to when 7 was released. Sorry if the graph is a little cloak and dagger, that is partly because we don't have permissions to reveal much about the identity, and partly because we were trying to do a kind of double blind, separating the data from our biases 🙂 We can say though the different between the level at the start and end of the graph is at least 10,000 visits per day JarMzoK.png

SEO traffic had significantly dropped
I know this question has been asked before, but I'm hoping someone can address my specific issue. We recently did a complete redesign of our site and moved it over to a new server. The site was even "down" for about a week, where we had a static splash page. However since relaunching (it's not been over two weeks) we've seen a significant drop in search engine traffic. We are using Yoast for Wordpress. The site is The Tech Block. Could anyone see if there is something we're doing wrong? Thanks

I am new to SEO. Would appreciate anyone share with me how can i further optimize my website to attract more visitors based on this scenario?
Hi all, Thanks and really appreciate for your time helping me out here, and i am very new to SEO. Just a brief introduction, our team have been developing a gaming review website (specifically targeting MMO game, facebook game, and browser-based game) since September 2011, and the website show significant improvement for the 1st month, and we got daily UV spiking up to 2k in November. The issue here is that the visitors start to become very stagnant, and even dropping now. Even though we try hard to publish more game reviews and there is NO IMPROVEMENT AT ALL for past 2 months in terms of number of visitors, and we have no idea how should we further proceed to attract more visitors...We have about 7 k site pages (however not all are with content). For the past 2 months it seems like there is nothing going on that proportionate to the effort we put in. Pretty discouraging, so we decided to sign up SEOMOZ to get SEO help from the community here. Some general questions we have: 1. Is it because of the the quality of the content we write ? (not enough keyword density, review too short, etc). 2. Is it because of the website designed not user friendly and not optimized? 3. Is it because of the general gaming trend, or other competitors? 4. Are we penalized by google by any chance? Are we spamming or anything wrong that deter our improvement? 5. Our main revenue source is on advertising, and currently we are using adsense. Would the ads placement affect anything? 6. Based on your knowledge and expertise, any advice would you give us? Would appreciate if you can take a kind look at the website to understand the scenario better: www.gameonline2.com, with 3 subdomain of: wiki.gameonline2; gameplay.gameonline2; cheats.gameonline2. For your reference, example our competitors are: www.onrpg.com; www.bbgsite.com; www.mmohut.com I would be happy to share with you any further information including google analytics if needed. I have report generated from SEOMOZ but i would appreciate the pros to help me take a look to give me a more complete ideas of how can i further improve to gain at least 10k visitors per day. Thanks again for your kind help and time. Andrew

Time until duplicate penalty is lifted?
Hello, I recently discovered that half of the pages on my site, about 3,500 were not being indexed or were indexing very very slow and with a heavy weight on them. I discovered the problem in the "HTML Suggestions" within Google's Webmaster Tools. An example of my main issue. All 3 of these URL were showing 200 Status OK in Google. www.getrightmusic.com/mixtape/post/ludacris_1_21_gigawatts_back_to_the_first_time www.getrightmusic.com/mixtape/post/ludacris_1_21_gigawatts_back_to_the_first_time/ www.getrightmusic.com/mixtape/ludacris_1_21_gigawatts_back_to_the_first_time I added some code to the .htaccess in order to remove the trailing slashes across the board. I also properly set up my 404 redirects, which were not properly set up by my developer (when the site "relaunched" 6 months ago 😞 ) I then added the Canonical link rel tags on the site posts/entries. I'm hoping I followed all the correct steps in fixing the issue and now, I guess, I just have to wait until the penalty gets lifted? I'm also not %100 certain that I have been penalized. I'm just assuming based on the SERP ceiling I feel and the super slow or lack of indexing my content. Any insight, help or comments would be super helpful. Thank you. Jesse

Top Notch SEOs on the forum - I have a challenge for you!
I have been hitting my head again the wall trying to figure out why Google does not move my page up. All the SEOMOZ numbers show that the page has higher authority than the competition, more links, more domain authority, older domain, and higher Page rank. In addition the page is error free and I've gotten a W3C HTML 4.01 approval. About a month ago We were at #10 , then after the changes I've made to content and the page Google moved the page to #8, Now the Page is back to #9. I've done plenty of SEO to drive traffic to the page and created some very powerful and quality links. However, it seems like the page is being punished for something. Much weaker competitors are outranking our page and I am not sure why. On page optimization, title tags, Meta Tags, keyword density, etc - everything is there. In fact I have a check list that I go by and everything is by the book. Not only that, one competitor now shows up twice. First the domain and then specific page. I've looked into specific page and all they did is create 600 internal links from their own website. So now they are number #2 and #3 If anyone can take a look and give me an idea of what is going on and maybe suggest Keyword: Laser Marking Url: http://tinyurl.com/3nt3g2h Any help would be appreciated..
