Crawl Diagnostics - Duplicate Content and Duplicate Page Title Errors

[GeoffBatterham]

I am getting a lot of duplicate content  and duplicate page title errors from my crawl analysis. I using volusion and it looks like the photo gallery is causing the duplicate content errors.

both are sitting at 231, this shows I have done something wrong...

Example URL:

Duplicate Page Content

http://www.racquetsource.com/PhotoGallery.asp?ProductCode=001.KA601

Duplicate Page Title

http://www.racquetsource.com/PhotoGallery.asp?ProductCode=001.KA601

Would anyone know how to properly disallow this? Would this be as simple as a robots.txt entry or something a little more involved within volusion?

Any help is appreicated.

Cheers

It looks like the title is empty on the URL you shared. Adding a title to each product will help tremendously with SEO. The generally accepted best practice is the format "Keyword Keyword | Company Name".

The duplicate content is most likely caused by the dynamic aspects of the URL. You can solve that issue by adding Rel Canonical tags to every page.

This is a guess though. If you can post an example of two pages with the supposed duplicate content and I can give you a more concrete answer.

We had a similar situation on our website, and it ended up being a very simple solution. We had in the code some places where it formated URLs in in the opposite case for instance, both:

http://www.racquetsource.com/photogallery.asp?productcode=001.KA601

and

http://www.racquetsource.com/PhotoGallery.asp?ProductCode=001.KA601

work, and the search engines and SEOmoz see them as different pages. We combed our site and looked for links that pointed to the opposite, and were able to reduce the number of errors our our site tremendously.

Good luck!
