Do Collections in Shopify create Duplicate Pages according to Google/Bing/Yahoo?
-
I'm using the e-commerce platform Shopify to host an e-store. We've put our products into different collections. Shopify automatically creates different URL paths to a product in multiple collections. I'm worried that the same product listed in different collections is soon as different pages, and therefore duplicate content by Google/Bing/Yahoo.
Would love to get your opinion on this concern!
Thanks!

Yup, if you've got the same product content with multiple URLs, that's the exact definition of duplicate content.
Simple solution: set rel="canonical" on all of these to aim towards the page/URL you're going to target for ranking in Search. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-to-advanced-relcanonical-http-headers
