I have noticed an issue with duplicate listings when using Geo Filtering.
As you can see below, the same listing uses different URLs:
general.demoflynax.com/united-states/listings/clothing-and-shoes/women-s-accessories/big-buddha-pippin-20.html
general.demoflynax.com/listings/clothing-and-shoes/women-s-accessories/big-buddha-pippin-20.html
The problem is that Google Panda will give a Penalty to such website with pages full of duplicate content (listings).
The best practice is to place all Listings under separate Directory “/listings/”, as shown on example below:
general.demoflynax.com/listings/big-buddha-pippin-20.html
general.demoflynax.com/listings/big-buddha-pippin-201.html
general.demoflynax.com/listings/big-buddha-pippin-2002.html
