Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi there, Not sure I have enough information to weigh in on the first part of your question - Google will index whatever it sees on the page. If you deliver the content to Google, then they index it. The problem comes when you deliver different content to different users. Try a tool like SEO Browser to see how googlebot views your site. http://www.seo-browser.com/ To answer your second question, its often hard to rank near-duplicate pages for specific cities/states without running into massive duplicate content problems. Matt Cutts himself actually addressed this awhile back. He basically stated if you have multiple pages all targeting different locations, it's best to include a few lines of unique content on each page (I recommend the top) to make each unique. “In addition to address and contact information, 2 or 3 sentences about what is unique to that location and they should be fine,” Source But this technique would be very hard with only 300 product page. The alternative, stuffing these pages with city/state information for every combination possible, is not advised. http://www.seomoz.org/q/on-page-optimization-to-rank-for-multiply-cities So in the end, it's actually not hard to rank for city-state keywords without having it in the URL, but the information should be in the content or other places like the title tag or internal link structure - but to do this for 1000's of locations with only 300 pages without keyword stuffing is near impossible. The best thing to do is figure out how to create unique content for every page you want to rank for, and take that route. For example, I might create a "Seattle" page, create unique content for the top of the page, then list 50 or so products with the unique Seattle prices. (This is a rough strategy - you'd have to refine it greatly to work for your situation. Hope this helps! Best of luck with your SEO.

Thanks for getting back to me! Even if you do the dynamic meta data, that does not sound like a lot of duplication can be avoided between the 30,000 city/state pages. That's the reason we are considering this new strategy, where we have essentially 300 unique pages, but we dynamically generate the city/state. Is the content on these pages unique ? I mean the set of products returned, are they just unique collections or what ? The content is unique, to a point. The pricing varies by region, but the actual products are the same. You said these pages are showing up as duplicate content ? Where are they showing as duplicate content ? They are showing up as dupe content on the seomoz report. Not sure if that's what you mean? Do your stronger pages, homepage, category pages rank for your head keywords ? Do they rank very very well ? Not sure what you're asking exactly. How do I find out what my head keywords are? It really depends upon the overall domain authority and what other stuff is going on your website. Over PR is about a 5 right now.

nevermind i think i fixed it.  Im "redirect attachment url to parent"
