How Can I Prevent Duplicate Page Title Errors?

[JillCS]

I am working on a website that has two different sections, one for consumers and one for business.  However, the products and the product pages are essentially the same but, of course, the pricing and quantities may be different.  We just have different paths based on the kind of customer.

And, we get feeds from manufacturers for the content so it's difficult to change it.

We want Google to index both sections of the site but we don't want to get hammered for duplicate page titles and content.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Do you have one version of the pages that you'd prefer for your "Natural Search" / SEO users/visitors to see ? Let's say you have the same page, v1 and v2. And you want v1 to be seen by users coming from Google. In v2, add a canonical tag to pointing to v1. This way Google will crawl both sets of pages but only show v1 in the SERPS. Does that work ?

Thanks for your reply Nakul.

I actually want Google to index both - one for each audience. We had "no follow" on one of the sections until yesterday.  But, now that's been removed, I'm concerned about the duplicate content and titles.
