      Ive read other posts that say using accordion is not detrimental to SEO, and for conversion optimization we want to take several of our existing pages and make them into one accordion.

      But what will this do to seo and duplicate content as I redirect the old pages to anchors in the accordion?  I would think this would be a dup content problem as

      www.oldinfo1

      www.oldinfo2

      will now have their content on the same page but I will be redirecting them to

      www.newpage#oldinfo1

      www.newpage#oldinfo2

      Is there a way around duplicate content problems?

        these are the same page. everything from the hash after is ignored. Use jquery and get all of the content onto the one main page. and 301 or canonical the old URLs back to the main URL.

        www.newpage#oldinfo1

        www.newpage#oldinfo2

          Thats my fear.  So that leaves my 5 301s to what is now the same page - so 5 old links now link to the same content.  Does not that make the old links show up as duplicate content?

          • Our protected pages 302 redirect to a login page if not a member. Is that a problem for SEO?

          • I am using All-in-One-seo. I change the title and meta description on the home page, but it is not showing up on the search. It is on the source code. When I change other pages, the both show up in the search, just not the home page. Any idea why?.

          • If the order of products on a page changes each time the page is loaded, does this have a negative effect on the SEO of those pages?
