This is due to the fact that shopping cart websites usually have many many pages that can contain many many products, and many of those products are almost identical. Therefore, when pages are analysed by the search engine it believes it has seen poor quality pages being replicated unnecessarily in order to gain unfair improved rankings.

The author suggests some basic tactics that should be considered when reviewing the structure of your own e-commerce website. They include:

• Bundle together similar product options on a single page
• Create greater variation between pages
