Duplicate content, which seems not to be duplicate :S
-
After crawling I am used to getting a lot of duplicate content messages in Moz, which are High Priority. I do not know what to do with them, since I believe we tackled all the issues. Main point being the advise to put in a link rel=canonical. An example of a page that accordeing to the report has a duplicate. I do not see how. Can you help with that?

Okay. Thanks for the help. Will do that. Not for all pages (that's why we have a feed; around 100K products), but at least for the items that matter to us...
-
You are going to have a hard time getting your pages indexed with a feed, there is no telling how many other companies use the feed with the same descriptions. The best solution is to write your own custom content. Or at least try to add some to it.
-
OK. Yes we do.
-
I would shoot for under 80% of the same content. Yes, it is something that a lot of ecommerce sites deal with, but there are ways around it. Are you using a feed by chance?
-
This helps. Thanks a lot. But doesn't any e-commerce website has to deal with this? What is the min. text ratio to not be seen as duplicate content? Finally; is there a tool to easily measure a pass/fail on this?
-
It is seen as duplicate content because of the ratio of text between the two pages is very high. You only have 10 -20 words for your product descriptions, but you have a couple hundred words of on page text that is the same on each page.

Duplicate content on partner site
I have a trade partner who will be using some of our content on their site. What's the best way to prevent any duplicate content issues? Their plan is to attribute the content to us using rel=author tagging. Would this be sufficient or should I request that they do something else too? Thanks

ECommerce URL's
This is based on a clothing retailer, eCommerce site. In an effort to reduce the length of our product names, we are considering removing terms like long-sleeve, short-sleeve, etc., but leaving that information in the URL. Now, the concern is that we would lose some traction in the SERP's if those descriptive words are left out as the product name is also our page title. Then I think keywords as broad as long-sleeve shirt wouldn't serve us well anyways. One idea we have is that the alt tag on the product image could still display the longer product name that would include long-sleeve, etc. thus having the keyword on the product page. Any ideas or suggestions? Hope this is clear. Seems redundant from a user standpoint to state long-sleeve, etc. in every product name. Thanks - your answers are always so helpful!

Does putting content in tabs devalue it at all?
Hello! Still very new to the SEO world and just trying to soak in as much information as I can. The site I work for took a substantial hit with the panda update, so we are looking into adding as much quality content as we can in the upcoming months. With our current site layout, space will quickly become an issue. Assuming the content is relevant and useful for the page, will putting the content into tabs be counter productive or devalue it at all?
