Online sellers have two tasks: Do everything you can to help them feel comfortable buying from you. Put a photo of your business on your about page. (Conversions go up when people visit that page just before checking out!) Make sure you can be contacted. Provide phone numbers and an address on your site.

"How To Fix Duplicate Content Issues? In order to resolve those duplicate content issues, what we need to do is tell the search engines that they are all one and the same page. Several options are then offered to us: * Editing your Content Management System to ensure that it only generates the type of URLs you want by normalizing them. * Choose one canonical form for your URLs from the start and ensure consistency throughout your site and linking work. * Use 301 redirects to redirect all the non-canonical URLs to your preferred canonical URL. * Use the Google Webmaster Tool to define your preferred canonical URL version. * Break ties by making sure that your sitemaps are uploaded with your canonical URLs." - Internet Strategist via Bookmarklet
