Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks David

Im using deponet for my shopping cart. I have opened a support ticket with them and it sounds like they can setup a rel canonical tag that will work automated.

Im not sure how that works so I asked them for a little more information.

I know some shopping carts have a feature for rel canonical tags but I dont see it here.

Yes there not static pages they can change depending on how many products are in one catagory.

Thanks again for your answer.

Im trying to to fix my duplicate content problem with my catagory pages in  my shopping cart.

I have read about adding a rel canonical tag to the page so it links back to the main catagory page.

So if I add a rel canonical tag to the main catagory page it will show up on every other page for that catagory like page 1 page 2 and so on and it will have the tag linking back to the main cat. That should fix it it right?

Now that being said I cant seem to add the tag invetween the head tags.

I can add it to the body where I can add content. Will the rel canonical tag work outside the head tags?

Any other ideas on this fix?

I contacted my people that host the cart to see if they have any features to help this will see what they say.

You know what I use firefox most of the time but for some reason I had logged in with IE and it doesnt seem to work in IE. I tried it with firefox and it works fine.

Thanks

My followed backlinks tab is not showing any data for any of my campaigns. other tabs are shwoing data like top pages but nothing under followedbacklinks. Is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks Cyrus I will take a look at these articles .

Thank for the reply.

So far I’m thinking its best to make the changes to get the links down fewer than 100 even if it creates more category pages and duplicate content.

My site is not word press it’s a shopping cart ecommerce web site.

It does have some chooses for seo urls and such. I will look at that to see if there’s a way to have the extra pages created by to many products be different from each other.

Just to be clear if category A has 100 products and I list 20 per page it makes a page 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and each page it makes has the same description and title tag. So that makes the duplicate content.

If I add more products per page it makes less pages sometimes only one but then I have more than 100 links per page.

So what’s better duplicate content or to many links?

Thanks Ken

Ok help me out here friends.

I’m working with the warnings and errors for my site.

I have two problems that relate to each other and I want to know if you had to choose what problem what would you choose.

I’m running into some duplicate content and title errors because under categories for my products there are so many products that it creates more than one page and with each new page it has the same title or same content on the page.

I tried to make this less in some cases by showing more products per page like 100 items and in most cases per category it will only show one page now.

Now some times there’s still more than one page and also this creates too many links now on that category page.

So I think I can get rid of all the to many on page links but it will make more pages and duplicate content and title tag.

What would you guys do?

Thanks for the info. My sites a little large over 16000 pages but thats not a bad idea to start another campaign. I made a bunch of changes and I just want to make sure its going well.

Thanks

Yes I feel its worth the price even for just a few of the tools OSE is great all the videos the help in here priceless. I just wanted to make sure everything is working right. My site is very large it scanned 10000 of about 16000 pages my site has. I will give it time to see the changes. Thanks for your input.

Ok maybe im missing something. I signed up 5/2 I got a complete crawl within a few days. Good information im all excited to work on the changes.

I made a bunch of changes to improve my site. Like I had to many on page links. I made a bunch of changes to fix that problem and some title tag problem.

So now im waiting and waiting to see the changes that I made updated in my campaign and nothing. It said it was running a new crawl last thursday no changes show and then again this thursday now it says may 24 and last scan on the 12th.

My title tag for my home page still shows the old title and I got the links way down I believe under 100 and it still show 200 to 300.

It seems like im just not getting up to date information fast enough.

To pay 99 bucks a month and after 2 weeks no changes seems odd.

Maybe im doing something wrong can someone tell me if this is normal?

I like the data but its not updating.

I want to see that my changes are working and keep making changes and i cant keep waiting and waiting.

Thanks for any ones help.
