I have written my FAQs to go into a spry tab on all of my product pages (my customer's weren't reading them then they were on a separate page!) but now I have a problem that google has flagged my pages as duplicate content.

Is there an way to tell google that the FAQs tab and delivery info tabs aren't part of the product details and should be ignored?

I think you can fix this in your includes by setting rel="nofollow" as an html attribute

So I use this to add tabs on my site, in my includes

ecttabsspecials="<ecttab id= ""videotab"" title=""#xf16a;  Video""><div style=""text-align:center;"" id=""videos""></div><ecttab id= ""insttab"" title=""#xf129;  Instructions""><div id=""instructions""></div>"


I think that could be changed to

ecttabsspecials="<ecttab rel=""nofollow"" id= ""videotab"" title=""#xf16a;  Video""><div style=""text-align:center;"" id=""videos""></div><ecttab id= ""insttab"" title=""#xf129;  Instructions""><div id=""instructions""></div>"


You would want to test that to be sure it's doing what you want.

In my case, that should stop search engines from indexing that video tab.

That sounds like it would do exactly what I need.

Thanks

I tried what you suggested unfortunately it doesn't work. the rel=""nofollow"" won't save, it just puts it in as rel=""

It doesn't matter, i think I have misunderstood why my pages are being listed as duplicates and it wasn't why I thought.

It seems there can be multiple versions of the same page generating different URLs,

for example https://www.lastingtouch.co.uk/Sterling-silver-memorial-butterfly-brooch?cat=9 is being flagged as a duplicate because google has already crawled https://www.lastingtouch.co.uk/Sterling-silver-memorial-butterfly-brooch

It says something about needing to add a User-declared canonical but I have no idea how to do that with it being a dynamic page?

Hi Gemma
This Canonical URL is generated for you automatically in the metainfo.asp/php file and there are details here...
/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=116031

Can you please give that a go and see if it helps?
