Shopify SEO: Does anyone ever canonicalise collection tags to the collection parent?

Hi,

I was wondering if this is a practice people might use when working with Shopify sites. Obviously, this wouldn't be applicable in many cases where collection tag URLs offer an opportunity for long-tail optimisation, but in cases where cannibalization might be an issue, is this something anyone has encountered?

For those unfamiliar with Shopify, collection tags are essentially auto-generated URLs that reside within the directory of a collection URL.

Let's say you have: /example-collection/

Within this collection you have /example-product/. If any tags are assigned to this product (tags can literally be anything - colour, type, etc...), any collection this product belongs to will dynamically generate a URL path for this tag (i.e. /example-collection/tag-1) which canonicalises to itself. In most cases this hasn't caused issues, but I've noticed instances where the collection tag is outranking or ranking alongside the parent.

Would love to hear any thoughts or experiences with this.

Thanks!

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank?

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
