      Moz is alerting me that there's about 60 duplicate pages on my Shopify ecommerce site. Most of them are products. I'm not sure how to fix this since the coding for my site is in liquid. I'm not sure if this is something I even need to be worried about. Most of these duplicate pages are a result of product tags shopify sites use to group products you tag with characteristics that the user can select in the product view.

      here are a couple URLS:

      https://www.mamadoux.com/collections/all/hooded

      https://www.mamadoux.com/collections/all/jumpers

        mamadoux, duplicate pages on an ecommerce site (and on all sites, for that matter), can really have a devastating effect on search engine rankings and overall visibility. I would definitely make this a priority, as you need to do something to take care of this issue. There are a few options.

        First, I would see if you can properly implement canonical tags on the duplicate pages. This will tell the search engines that you know that the pages are duplicates--and they should pass on the "credit" over to the main page (the one you're canonicaling to).

        Another option would be to use your robots.txt file to disallow indexing of certain pages on your site, the ones that are duplicates.

        There are standard ways in Shopify to make the canonical tags work--and they go in the 'head' of each page in the code.

          This question been asked previosuly and here you can access it.
          In relation to deal with the issue, I agree with Bernadette, the best way to deal with those is to implement the canonical tags. Just make sure to use the following guidelines from the given URL. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html
