      I recently joined promoz and I've been busy working through the issues raised brought to light during the crawls of our Magento site, www.unitedbmwonline.com.

      One of many issues were the 10,000+ Duplicate Page Titles which I believe are the result of not using Canonical tags when setting up the store.

      This is now corrected and hopefully I'll see a significant drop in this value after this next crawl.

      Am I correct in this assumption?

      Cheers,

      Steve

        Steve,

        I'm not sure. I'm assuming it would.

        But one thing I noticed is that this page: http://www.unitedbmwonline.com/bmw-parts.html, a main category page, takes you to a 404 page. Something to fix.

          And I'm seeing a small broken image icon on every page except for the home page.

            Daniel,

            Adding the canonical tag made a huge difference, dropping the 10,000+ pages down to less than 10. Now hopefully our site will start to work it's way up the rankings 🙂

            Cheers,

            Steve

              Yes, still trying to track the down the issue.
