Eliminating dual content due to missing cPath variable

[Website Rob]

Diavire, here are the results of some testing I did, on the http://www.all4coffee.com/ site.

For the most part, everything below would apply to any Zen Cart site.

The URLs have been shortened for easier readability.


Sub-category Link
main_page=index&cPath=6_19
- Loose Tea Blends


Product Link
main_page=product_info&cPath=6_19&products_id=97
- European Blend Tea


All Listings
main_page=products_all&disp_order=1&page=5
- European Blend Tea is 7th on the page

Note: In this case the "All Listings" will always show a Product Page URL without a 'cPath', such as:
main_page=product_info&products_id=97
- don't think it is supposed to be that way though?


The following 'unknown' links all show "European Blend Tea"
main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=97
main_page=product_info&cPath=19&products_id=97

As to how a SE will find the above 2 'unknown' links, I don't know.


IMHO, all the above is just more reasons why people should not worry about Duplicate Content.

Reference: Duplicate content

Duplicate content generally refers to substantive blocks of content within or across domains that either completely match other content or are appreciably similar. Mostly, this is not deceptive in origin. Examples of non-malicious duplicate content could include:

* Discussion forums that can generate both regular and stripped-down pages targeted at mobile devices
* Store items shown or linked via multiple distinct URLs
* Printer-only versions of web pages


And, as to the 301 OK msg., not a big deal. That's just how an MS Server operates. The number is what's important to Servers/Software and the following Text msg. is for us Humans.
