          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)

              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

              JC

                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.

                  I‘d like to review the internal linking structure on my site. Is there a tool that can visualize the relationships between all of the pages within my site?

                  Location of body text on page - at top or bottom - does it matter for SEO?

                  Hi - I'm just looking at the text on a redesigned homepage. They have moved all the text to the very bottom of the page (which is quite common with lots of designers, I notice - I usually battle to move the important text back up to the top). I have always ensured the important text comes at the top, to some extent - does it matter where on the page the text comes, for SEO? Are there any studies you can point me to? Thanks for your help, Luke

                  Is it cloaking/hiding text if textual content is no longer accessible for mobile visitors on responsive webpages?

                  My company is implementing a responsive design for our website to better serve our mobile customers. However, when I reviewed the wireframes of the work our development company is doing, it became clear to me that, for many of our pages, large parts of the textual content on the page, and most of our sidebar links, would no longer be accessible to a visitor using a mobile device. The content will still be indexable, but hidden from users using media queries. There would be no access point for a user to view much of the content on the page that's making it rank. This is not my understanding of best practices around responsive design. My interpretation of Google's guidelines on responsive design is that all of the content is served to both users and search engines, but displayed in a more accessible way to a user depending on their mobile device. For example, Wikipedia pages have introductory content, but hide most of the detailed info in tabs. All of the information is still there and accessible to a user...but you don't have to scroll through as much to get to what you want. To me, what our development company is proposing fits the definition of cloaking and/or hiding text and links - we'd be making available different content to search engines than users, and it seems to me that there's considerable risk to their interpretation of responsive design. I'm wondering what other people in the Moz community think about this - and whether anyone out there has any experience to share about inaccessable content on responsive webpages, and the SEO impact of this. Thank you!

                  How to make sure category pages rank higher than product pages?

                  Hi, This question is E-Commerce related. We have product categories dividing products by color. Let's say we have the category 'blue toy cars' and a product called 'blue toy car racer', both of these could rank for the keyword 'blue toy car'. How do we make sure the category 'blue toy cars' ranks above the product 'blue toy car racer'? Or is the category page automatically ranked higher because of the higher page authority of that page? Alex

                  Multiple Local Schemas Per Page

                  I am working on a mid size restaurant groups site.  The new site (in development) has a drop down of each of the locations.  When you hover over a location in the drop down it shows the businesses info (NAP).  Each of the location in the Nav list are using schema.org markup. I think this would be confusing for search robots.  Every page has 15 address schemas and individual restaurants pages NAP is at the below all the locations' schema/NAP in the DOM. Have any of you dealt with multiple schemas per page or similar structure?

                  Our site was done with asp.net and a lot of scripting. I want to see what Google can see and what it can't. What is the best tool that duplicates Googlebot? I have found several but they seem old or inaccurate.
