How is IT handling multi-page search results for this url?
OK, I see what you mean now. I am not sure how they are doing that. You would normally see that if the content of the page was output through an iframe but I couldn't find one in the source code. It's possible it is something OpenCart is doing It's not a great idea from a user experience basis really, but search engines are not going to read the URL in the address bar. They will use the links that are in the pagination links at the bottom. For example, this is page 2: http://www.manhattanfruitier.com/index.php?route=product/category/shopall_Data&osc=0&page=2 So that is what will be indexed. Peter

Main content - javascript/ajax
Google's guide for AJAX crawling is here. This is a considerable amount of work though, and honestly I wouldn't recommend it. Google is getting better everyday at crawling JavaScript content. You can try to test whether it's indexing this content by doing some very specific Google searches for things only rendered by JavaScript, and seeing if your pages rank for those searches. If they do, there's a good chance that Google is reading and rendering your JavaScript properly. Even if they don't now, it's likely only a matter of time before they do. I don't imagine that Rogerbot has an army of engineers at Moz trying to figure out how to render JavaScript outside of a browser, so I wouldn't expect this to come to Moz crawls anytime soon. I also doubt that Rogerbot would understand what's going on in Google's guide either, as I wouldn't expect many sites to have actually gone through this process. Why is most of your main content generated by JavaScript? It sounds like you should be rendering some of this on the page in good ol fashioned HTML. A lot of times this doesn't require an entire redo of a website. It could just be a matter of loading some default HTML with the page, and then updating it with JavaScript, instead of rendering all of it with JavaScript. It would be easier to see if you share the site (if not, I understand).

Blogging/content strategy
The kind of content I'm talking about would go on the company blog, primarily, and the rest on quality publishers' sites within your theme via outreach.

Rel Canonical and Moz Crawl
Sara, if you're 301ing a page that also includes a rel=canonical directive, the rel=canonical will not be seen because the server redirects the user before they get to the page. If the pages are identical, you can rel=canonical one to the other and both URL will be available to the user. A 301 will prevent a user from landing on that page.
