Which is the best option for these pages?
Hello, As Martin suggested, it seems any option will require time and effort. Are you sure these pages are causing an issue with duplicate content? Are they ranking and pulling traffic/sales? I'm dubious these pages are having a negative impact. I would want to verify that as much as possible before expending the resource to canonical or take other action. That said, canonical would be the recommended solution here - and should take no more effort than the "noindex" tag. Best, Mike

Using the same image across the site?
No—Google won't penalize you for using the same image across different landing pages. However, I would recommend using a unique image if you have an ecommerce site and are selling different products (or variations of the same product). From a user experience, if the image looks good, is compressed for quick loading, and makes sense on your pages you should be good.

Long Title Tags
Hi, Please check reply of Dr peter in similar thread, hope you will get your answer. If you haven't yet, please see my follow-up post: http://moz.com/blog/new-title-tag-guidelines-preview-tool This is a moving target, and it's actually a pixel width (512px), but I tried to take a data-driven approach, and as best I can measure, 55 characters is a safe limit about 95% of the time. I will add that Google definitely processes characters beyond that limit (some are even in the source code) and words beyond that limit could count toward ranking. They won't count much, I strongly suspect, but this new limit doesn't mean you automatically have to cut everything shorter. There's certainly no penalty for going over, as long as you're not keyword-stuffing to extremes. One down side is that the new method (using CSS for the cut-off) means that Google now cuts mid-word, instead of between words. This could be more detrimental to CTR, in my opinion. It's very situational, though. The best I can say is to look at your most important title tags in the context of real searches and make your own judgment call. Hope this helps. Thanks

Hidden category content really bad?
You are not at risk for being removed from Google's search index. In fact, Google has recently adjusted their stance on hidden content and no longer ding sites for having it **IF **it's done for the benefit of UX, specifically mobile device UX. Here's a recent statement from Google's Gary Illyes on the subject: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-content-tabs-hidden-change-22950.html Review the layout and functionality of these pages, if you believe it's helpful for UX, then stick with it. You could also run a test where you take a sample of your category pages and unhide the content by default to see if they perform better.
