How do I Syndicating Content for SEO Benefit?
-
Right now, I am working on one E-Commerce website. I have found same content on that E-Commerce website from manufacturer website. You can visit following pages to know more about it.

http://www.abbyson.com/room/contemporary/casablanca-detail
http://www.furnitech.com/ft55cfa.html
I don't want to go with Robots.txt, Meta Robots NOINDEX & Canonical tag. Because, There are 5000+ products available on website with duplicate content.
So, I am thinking to add Source URL on each product page with Do follow attribute. Do you think? That will help me to save my website from duplicate content penalty?

Hi Matt,
Thank you very much for two valuable suggestions. I am agree with you. We have added product specification in form of paragraph.
Now, We are planning to compile set of content for each and every product page for good user experience. It may create some romance on product pages.
I will consider your URL length related input in next product import.
If you have any additional inputs or suggestions for me? If yes so It will fabulous for me. Because, I have visited your website and You have done great work over there.
This is biggest reason to love SEOmoz... Right platform to communicate more with E-Commerce marketing guys... just like you!!

That's not the site I was talking about specifically but it is a site that my team are working on.
Looking at that product on your page, the content is essentially is a list of features. My advice? Try and make it unique and interesting. It can be hard to do this without simply thickening the content with fill words though. Maybe try to be funny?
By the way, I'd try and make your URL a little shorter

Hi Matt,
I hope, You're talking about following website.
http://www.theworkplacedepot.co.uk/
I have checked categories and We are working on similar products.
http://www.theworkplacedepot.co.uk/lincoln-office-chair
We are selling same product on our store.
We have done lot of work on Office Chairs category & product page.
But, We are getting issue to capture maximum impressions and clicks on product page due to using content from manufacturer website.

Great. I'm pleased you are wanting to do it the right way. Many people come here for advice and simply reject the advice given because it costs too much money or takes too much effort.
Generally, creating decent unique descriptions for 5000 products will take lots of time and effort. If you do have a budget for this sort of thing then it might be worth trying oDesk or Elance or something similar. Just remember that if you follow this advice, you should also have someone editing and checking the descriptions that you are provided with.
If it makes you feel any better, I'm working on a site at the moment which needs unique descriptions for 30,000 products.

Hi Matt,
Honestly, You don't need to say sorry for it. I am really happy to read very straight answer.
If unique description is only solution so, I will happy to go with it. But, I want to double make sure before jump on it.
Because, It's big investment of time & money for us. I am quite excited to read few more answers on this question.
By the way.. Thanks for your answer...

If you want the honest answer then there is only one real way of making this work... Rewrite the descriptions. Make them unique.
If you really want the pages to do well then this is the solution.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
Matt

SEO Migration Options
Hi Guys, We have a www.sitename.com.au domain name and looking to move into the US market, and other markets in the future such as UK, Canada, etc. We are reviewing our options. Currently the .com.au is ccTLD to Australia so won't perform well in US. It seems the best option at this stage is to get a generic domain Generic top-level domains (gTLDs) like a .com. Then create different sub-folders for each country for example: .com our main country .com/us/ target us .com/uk/ Then in Google Search Console don't set country targeting for entire domain but use Hreflang Tags to specify the targeting for each page? -- This seems like a complex strategy to execute so i just want to check if this would be a optional option? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated! Cheers.

Why is hosting good for SEO?
I've heard a few people mention this now. I have seen hosting packages range from £5 to £1000 per month, and I understand that each comes with their own amounts of storage space, bandwidth and all. Now I understand that page speed is important to SEO and the type of hosting will dictate your page speed, but other than this why is hosting important to SEO?

Duplicate Content Issues :(
I am wondering how we can solve our duplicate content issues. Here is the thing: There are so many ways you can write a description about a used watch. http://beckertime.com/product/mens-rolex-air-king-no-date-stainless-steel-watch-wsilver-dial-5500/ http://beckertime.com/product/mens-rolex-air-king-stainless-steel-date-watch-wblue-dial-5500/ Whats different between these two? The dial color. We have a lot of the same model numbers but with different conditions, dial colors, and bands.. What ideas do you have?

Differentiating Content
I have a piece of content (that is similar) that legitimately shows up on two different sites. I would like both to link, but it seems as if they are "flip flopping" in ranking. Sometimes one shows up, sometimes another. What's the best way to differentiate a piece of content like this? Does it mean rewriting one entirely? http://www.simplifiedbuilding.com/solutions/ada-handrail/ http://simplifiedsafety.com/solutions/ada-handrail/ I want to the Simplified Building one to be found first if I had a preference.

What SEO tactics are effective for optimising a site where content is changing very frequently (for example an online newspaper)?
I have always worked with sites where content has a reasonably long life-span but need to now consider SEO for a site where content is changing very rapidly. I have read that Google will re-spider your content more frequently if it finds that it is changing frequently but are there effective ways to let the search engines know as new articles are published? Also, if content is removed within only a day or two of being published, can this have a negative impact on SEO?

Technical SEO issue
Hi Everyone, I have encountered a major issue in one of my clients website(kitchen appliance website). This client has 2 main websites (A & B) linked with each other representing 2 different categories of appliances. We are trying to create some brand pages that this store carries. One brand page has been created and when searching for it on SERP, the results found should be under URL A but it is under URL B. I don't know what is going on? Can someone explain me what happened? Thank you,
