Is this considered Duplicate Content?

[Prime85]

Good Morning,

Just wondering if these pages are considered duplicate content?

Can you please take a look and advise if it is considered duplicate and if so, what should i do to fix...

Thanks

Hey,

Potentially, they could be duplicate as the second page is just a subset of the first page. That said, you have already implemented the solution as there is a canonical URL on both pages pointing to the root page with no URL variables.

So, you are telling Google that whilst there are variations of this page the main one is the first link:

rel="canonical" href="http://monsterbins.com/stackable-plastic-bins/4-18-deep" />

This was one of the rare occasions that I can dish out a quick and simple answer that requires you to do nothing and solves the issue.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Marcus,

So that canonical URL is done properly? (i was thinking maybe it wasn't in the right place on my site)..

Thanks

Yep, looked good to me and it can be anywhere between the tags and it is slap bang in the middle so looks good to go!
