New Ecom Category

[tylerfraser]

Hello,

I'd like to create a new category for my store.

All products will be from other categories, no new products will be added.

So this is really content that is already on my site.

I will add cateogry specific text in this page with unique title, etc.

But the products are all already on my site.Is this duplicate content, will this be a bad move?

Thanks

It is partially duplicate content, yes. As long as you're creating a unique title and unique on page text for the new category, you should be fine, though.

I don't think it's a bad move if you have the needs of your consumers in mind.  If it's specifically for the consumer, you might think about not allowing this new category to be used.  If it's for SEO, I don't really see a lot of value there?  Maybe I'm misunderstanding?

God almighty, please stop with the customer in mind.

Yes its good for the customer and if I rank for these keywords I will get more traffic.

I thought about disallowing these pages, but they are good keywords that will get me traffic.

Maybe good keywords... maybe good traffic... but duplicate content won't get you a ton of great content
