Will canonical solve this?

[Analoxltd]

Hi all,

I look after a website which sells a range of products. Each of these products has different applications, so each product has a different product page.

For eg. Product one for x application

Product one for y application

Product one for z application

Each variation page has its own URL as if it is a page of its own. The text on each of the pages is slightly different depending on the application, but generally very similar.

If I were to have a generic page for product one, and add canonical tags to all the variation pages pointing to this generic page, would that solve the duplicate content issue?

Thanks in advance,

Ethan

Yes, and make sure to do a self-referencing canonical to the generic page as well.
