Hi, Thanks for the detailed answer.  What part of Denver are you in?  Where do you play soccer, and are you familiar with our retail stores in the Denver area? Yes, I am interested in hearing about your blogging rates.  Please email me at jamesr at soccerstop.com.  We may be able to work something out... Thanks James

Hi James, when we talk of duplication we do not mean just plain duplication, but overall duplication too. Moreover, duplication is not just about main content, but about all the code of a page, therefore sidebars, menu, header and everything a page is composed by. As you have noticed, those three pages are substantially identical, and the differences are to few respect the similarities. What can you do? For instance you could provide a text to these sub-category pages. I know, it seems hard to write original and different content when products are very similar... but it is possible. For instance, if you can why don't you ask for feedback from clients who have bought those product and add them in the sub-category pages as testimonials? That's just an idea, but surely that a good brainstorming around a beer can present your more ideas

Hi Nigel, As I understand it, the warnings in the crawl report are simply intended to alert you to things that you may not otherwise be aware of on the site. Basically, it is telling you that Roger encountered a 302 (temporary) redirect when trying to access those URL's. If your robots.txt is functioning the way you intended, then you should see this in the "blocked by robots.txt" section of the Crawl Notices. If this is not the case, then it would indicate that perhaps your robots.txt is not correctly configured. If you want to know exactly how Rogerbot interacts with the files on your site when crawling, you could email the help team help [at] seomoz.org and ask. There is a very good post from Lindsay on Robot access in the SEOmoz Blog which is definitely worth a read. Hope that helps,
