Duplicate Content due to database usage! Any Solution??
- SEO |
Without wating time, here's the situation:
SITUATION:
1) I am upgrading my ecommerce jewelry site which until now had around 400-500sku's, which would be increasing above 1000 now.
2) Till now, the 'product pages' had typical looonnng url's with $, %, and other symbols. Due to which, search engine's didnt index them, obviosuly.
3) But now, i am cleaning the urls so the actual product url would be like "category/some-product-1/" which should get indexed.
ISSUES:
1) Since, most of the products will have similar content on their page EXCEPT for their product description, how bad is this from seo perspective?
2) I think around 60-80% text will be similar (for e.g. shipping info, product faq, common related info)
MY THOUGHTS:
1) Any work around to this problem? Also, will a penalty be imposed on the entire site, or just the similar looking pages?
2) One thing i was considering was, instead of text info, put most the common text as a low-sized gif image, so technically SE's will only see the "image" repeated, and not bring up red flags.
3) The reason i am trying to get these pages indexed is because the product descriptions have a huge variety of various keywords which i think would benefit long term wise.
So, what say people?
Thanks in advance,
Amod
