Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Peter, pages blocked by robots.txt would be considered to be not there, thus not flowing pagerank. You might want to use "noindex, follow" on these pages: pages are crawled and links on the page would be followed, by that any recieved linkjuice would flow from these pages to others. Noindex would mean that these pages wouldn't dilute PR (and ranking). Furthermore is "noindex,follow" on a page to page basis faster and more secure keeping pages nonindexed than by robots.txt (which is only crawled every 12 hours or so). You might want to use noindex,follow on all non-important pages such as legal etc. Sebastian

actually, on second thoughts I think the view-all page solution with rel=canonical (http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/09/view-all-in-search-results.html) might be the smarter choice.

Any ideas and suggestions guys?

Google may, or may not, take into account the physical address but I know that the more discerning customer definitely does care. I recommend to all of my SEO customers to add their physical address, even if it is just a PO Box, as it furthers Google's stated aims of adding truth and transparency to the internet.

It's all about the content at the end of the day. The more content you can get out there for the products, the better off you will be. Just be careful not to spin content. Keep it as clean as possible

To my knowledge there hasn't been a definitive conclusion on this one. The general advice as I know it seems to be: they are equally good, pick one, and make sure the other one (with slash if you choose to go for 'without slash' or vice versa) redirects to the chosen one (to avoid duplicate content).
