Product Duplication
Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2014 5:26 pm
Hi, I want to make a change to how my products are linked. I sell wine so one particular type might be in 5 or 6 different categories. Now I have installed a mod that attaches the canonical tag to each page but on my Google webmasters tools it is still showing a couple of products as being duplicated.
I have been looking at how the high ranked pages have been dealing with this and if I take http://www.majestic.co.uk as an example. There wines are the same as mine, they are in a number of different categories and they use the canonical tag on each one. The difference is each wine even when in a different category always points back to the same end page. Where as on my Opencart site its always a different end page depending on what category you are in.
Two questions, can this be changed and are there any extensions or even code changes that can be done to make it work like this?
