Ken_Shea Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 From what is read search engine rankings can suffer because of multiple identical product pages. Question is, what is it about any specific product page that they are looking at to determine this? Product Name? Product Model? Product Description? All the above? Thanks Ken
♥kymation Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 The entire page. There is no guideline for exactly how much of the page you have to change, or whether some elements are more important than others for determining similarity. If it's a question of having a product in multiple categories on one site, a Canonical tag module will prevent any problems. If it's a matter of copying the manufacturer's description without any changes, I have seen that flagged as a duplicate page.

Ken_Shea Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 I can add the Canonical tags, never really discovered as yet what they were/did. The description varies somewhat dependent on the category so should be safe there. Thanks for the input.
