      I am working on a site that has a HUGE number of duplicate pages due to ECWID ecommerce platform.  The site is built with Joomla!  How can I rectify this situation?  The pages also show up as "external " links on crawls...  Is it the ECWID platform?  I have never worked on a site that uses this.

      Here is an example of a page with the issue (there are 6280 issues)

      URL: http://www.metroboltmi.com/shop-spare-parts?Itemid=218&option=com_rokecwid&view=ecwid&ecwid_category_id=3560081

        Hey Jeremy,

        Were you able to attain any information at the ecwid conference?

          Hi Jeremy,

          thank you for your response!  Please do inquire with ECWID. I will look at the forum post you sent.  I appreciate any further info you discover.

          thanks

            So, this appears to be a Joomla issue, not spawned or native to ECWID.  But, perhaps the happy marriage of Joomla and ECWID has birthed you a problem child 😞

            I'll actually be at a conference next week (Austin, Texas) with ECWID and can ask them in person.  For the now, have a look at a similar question/answer I found for you on the ECWID forums:

            Source: http://www.ecwid.com/forums/showthread.php?p=55061

            Hope this helps!  Cheers.

              JSON-LD product page markup for multiple currencies?

              I haven't found a working example of a single product page with one "Offer" in multiple "priceCurrency" and "price" We have product pages with a single product URL which will offer different prices in different currencies based on the user's IP. Some of the language of the page will be translated based on the IP (this will have href lang tag) but the URL will not change. (We're aware TLD is considered best practice, however, this is not an option at this time.) Is the best option to update the markup based on what the corresponding "country"? I'm uncertain how this may be handled by crawlers. Eg, For the product page https://www.example.com/product1 displaying USD "offers": {
              "@type": "Offer",
              "url": "https://www.example.com/product1",
              "itemCondition": "https://schema.org/NewCondition",
              "availability": "InStock",
              "priceCurrency": "USD",
              "price": "7.99"} For the product pagehttps://www.example.com/product1 displaying EUR "offers": {
              "@type": "Offer",
              "url": "https://www.example.com/product1",
              "itemCondition": "https://schema.org/NewCondition",
              "availability": "InStock",
              "priceCurrency": "EUR",
              "price": "7.50"} Thanks for any input.

              Moving pages to new domain

              Hello, Our product pages are ranked #1 on google for our target keywords using our domain e.g. www.olddomain.com/cases/productxyz and sell about 20 products all ranked #1. We have a new company called www.newco.com/case/product1, 2, 3 etc. We use woocommerce e-commerce for both old and new sites. What is the best way to list our old co-products on our new site and move over the #1 rankings? Do we create new products (using our new nice design) in the newco.com woo commerce and then redirect old co links? do we copy and paste all that old content into the newco.com? Totally confused. Thank you!

              Wordpress: Pages vs Posts vs Portfolio

              Hi All, I'm looking to put pen to paper and design my main structual template for my website. I will be creating the new site in Wordpress. My understanding of Wordpress is broken into the Static Pages, Posts and Portfolio. Static PAGE
              Static one off content.
              No tags, categories or archived Posts
              content entries, which is listed in reverse chronological order.
              Update post entry to maintain overall freshness of your website.
              tags, categories & archived Portfolio
              ????? Question What are the benefits of a portfolio page over Static Pages & Posts When creating feature rich articles should i use static pages, posts or portfolio. Thanks Mark

              Does Google penalize duplicate website design?

              Hello, We are very close to launching five new websites, all in the same business sector. Because we would like to keep our brand intact, we are looking to use the same design on all five websites. My question is, will Google penalize the sites if they have the same design? Thank you! Best regards,
              Tiberiu

              Google penalty for links opening in new tab?

              Our web services provided suggested that Google doesn't like in-text links that open the link in a new tab. Can anyone verify this? We often link to outside credible resources for our audience, though it seems smarter to open in a new tab rather than risk that the person will not navigate back to our site after finding us. Thank you in advance!
