      How do i get rid of a duplicate page error when you can not access that page? I am using yahoo store manager. And i do not know code. The only way i can get to this page is by copying the link that the error message gives me. This is the duplicate that i can not find in order to delete.  http://outdoortrailcams.com/busebo.html

        Hi Anthony,

        If the issue you have is related to the fact that you have both www and non www versions of the pages, then you can implement a 301 redirect within the Yahoo Stores system to take care of this.

        If you go to this Yahoo Stores 301 Help Page you will find a detailed explanation of the various ways that you can implement redirects.

        The part that applies to this situation is in the following paragraph:

        You can also choose to redirect all hostnames and domain to your selected domain so your non-www address (acme.com) points for example to your www domain (www.acme.com). This setting also redirects your index page (for example www.acme.com/index.html) to your selected redirect setting (for example www.acme.com). This allows you to have one url (also known as a canonical url) rather than multiple so search engine relevancy factors will accrue to one url rather than being spread out across multiple urls.

        The instructions are directly below that paragraph and the diagram shows you where to choose the redirect you want to use A.

        Hope that helps,

        Sha

          I am not sure if that is it because it is only 1 page out of the 106 that are doubles.

          http://outdoortrailcams.com/busebo.html

          http://outdoortrailcams.com/bushnell-security-boxes.html

          the bottom one is correct the top has just a blank page. Please let me know if that is still the problem and thank you for the response, I will see if that fixes it.

            Hi Anthony,

            No...what I was talking about would give you two almost identical URL's.

            For example:

            http://outdoortrailcams.com/busebo.html and http://www.outdoortrailcams.com/busebo.html

            Since the page you have a problem with is a blank page, this help page is more likely what you need How to Delete a Page in Yahoo Store. Do be careful to ensure that it is not a "section" page as described there, since pages related to those would also be deleted.

            Hope that helps,

            Sha
