Hi,
I find the category and product listing pages are identical but on different URLS. For example, if I have category called categoryname, it is reachable through the following 5 urls

myshop.com/categoryname/
myshop.com/categoryname/product/
myshop.com/categoryname/product/listing/
myshop.com/categoryname/category/
myshop.com/categoryname/category/listing/

Is there any way to get around this duplicate content?
Thanks

Hi,

Sure. Just enter the URL you want in the "canonical URL" field of your category.
Search engines will then reference that URL and not the others for the category even though all the URLs will still work.
