Ok so all items that show on the home page have home as there category i.e.

http://demo.affiliatenichescript.com/p/ ... dition.php

Same product is here

http://demo.affiliatenichescript.com/p/ ... dition.php

Google will see this as duplicate content on your site. Smitty found a solution to this problem by creating a robots.txt file that contains

SEO Version ( if you have seo urls turned on )

User-agent: *
Disallow: /cache/
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /p/home/
Disallow: browse.php
Disallow: product.php

non SEO Version ( if do not have seo urls turned on )

User-agent: *
Disallow: /cache/
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /p/home/

This will stop google from indexing any products that show on the homepage and let it index the correct section url which has the ever so important category in it for keyword placement. Please feel free to use and edit to your likings.

nice one. also if you are using SEO enabled urls you should add:

Disallow: browse.php
Disallow: product.php

this would just be a precaution if google ever found the standard urls for your links.

Will this effect my "Categories" as I want my Categories to be indexed

As the Categories names are the keywords that I'm chasing??

Hi,
Thanks for the robots.txt file.

however, in my store, some products are listed in more than one category
so, they have different urls.

This is a serious duplicate content issue.

Can The Admin or somebody solve this problem ?

Thanks.

yea we noticed that as well but because of the way amazon api works its almost impossible to fix one solution is to remoce the category from the seo section and set it to none

As far am I am aware amazon does not include any sort of node info in the api results so there is no easy way to eliminate the seo dups

SEO DUP is not related to Amazon API. It is the way how ANS built.
