Yahoo Store Beginner with "duplicate content" errors. Can I pay for support? $$$

[TITOJAX]

Hi.  I have a Yahoo store that seems to have many errors.  We built the site for utility knowing NOTHING about SEO.  We just started with MOZ and would love to PAY someone to help get us past the beginning stages.  Is there someone familiar with the Yahoo! Store format that can charge us perhaps in hourly blocks to walk us through possible solutions to issues?

One issue we are having... seems to be that our subsections which contain items that are the endpoints... I know of no way to label the sections anything but an "item".  I'm wondering if this might be causing the "duplicate" error because a specific item is listed both in the section and on it's own page.

please help!

Hi Thom,

I don't know anything about "endpoints", but you maybe don't need a Yahoo store specialist, but just a regular SEO who can help you diagnose some of your problems. Moz has recommended companies you could reach out to ask if any offer hourly consulting. If they don't, try going thru the Q&A searching for any questions related to ecommerce and see who pipes in with helpful advice. (There is no ecommerce category in the Moz Q&A. I checked.) You could try approaching them.

I say that b/c I did a scan of your site and saw some duplicate pages, for example, http://www.atlasphones.com/reli.html, http://www.atlasphones.com/reli1.html and http://www.atlasphones.com/reli2.html, two of which look like they might be errors or oversights. It could just be that you need someone to help guide you through the process of discovering root causes and potential fixes. I worked with Yahoo store a few years ago, it has its querks, but is much like any other online store so if you can translate Yahoo terminology working with a SEO you might be able to make some great headway.

A second thought is whether you might be able to tag your "endpoints" or "items" as canonical and see whether that deals with the problem.

It's a start anyway.

Good luck!
