Reading Crawl Diagnostics and Taking Action on results

[GaryQ]

My site crawl diagnostics are showing a high number of duplicate page titles and content.  When i look at the flagged pages, many errors are simply listed from multiple pages of product category search results. This looks pretty normal to me and I am at a loss for understanding how to fix this situation.  Can I talk with someone?

thanks,

Gary

Could you give an example of the category pages? For example is it showing up duplicate on one category with a number of pages within that category?

This is what I am seeing (below).  Dog show - Express Line is a category we have set up on the site.  The duplicate pages and content errors seem to be tirggered by simply paging through the porducts listed for this catagory

Some of these are all the same product but sorted in a different way. Usually I'd recommend implementing the canonical tag but then some of your products are different so I'd be interested to hear some more replies.

If you're still looking for ideas of what to do with the duplicate content, Dr. Pete's post from earlier this month gives an in-depth look at the different types of duplicate content and solutions.
