Duplicat Content?start=1

[MichealGooden]

I am currently trying to figure out how to fix this basically our subcategory pages are being flagged for duplicate content. Basically we have items listed on these pages and usually we show 12 items and users can click to go onto the next page of items.  Here is an example of what I am seeing.

I'm just not too sure on how I would go about fixing this...  Thanks for any Help!

Put canonical tags on the duplicate pages pointing back to the original category page.

This tells Google that this is the original "Canon" version of the page.

But isn't any good for getting the other items indexed properly, no?

I don't think there is an ideal solution to pagination problems, but here's a few things to get you started.

And then you might want to start thinking more about the tech behind it and what your users can handle. Infinite scrolling, tabbed products, things I'm too lazy to think of

Good point, but I've seen products within a category still be indexed using this technique, thats without any other links to them on the site.

Place that code in between the head tags for all of the specific categories to implement a Canonical link ^.^ Hope it helps!
