From Google Webmaster Blog: Duplicate Content Penalty Myths
Written by Matt on September 12, 2008 – 1:20 pmToday’s post is straight from the Google Webmaster Central Blog - Its a great article about Duplicate Content and how Google handles it.
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/09/demystifying-duplicate-content-penalty.html
Duplicate content. There’s just something about it. We keep writing about it, and people keep asking about it. In particular, I still hear a lot of webmasters worrying about whether they may have a “duplicate content penalty.”
Let’s put this to bed once and for all, folks: There’s no such thing as a “duplicate content penalty.” At least, not in the way most people mean when they say that.

Hiding the size or color attribute when they are out of stock
Written by Matt on July 16, 2008 – 2:30 pmYou can hide the size attributes on the Product/Catalog Detail page if the attribute is out of stock, you can modify it for color as well. You could take this code and modify it for other similar functions.
**note** Most likely this code will only work with Advanced Tier or higher ProStores sites.
<td>
<font face="arial,helv" size="2"><b>Size</b>
<select name="size">
<ss:foreach item="attr" within="$product.attributes">
<ss:if test="$attr.quantity <> 0">
<option value="$attr.size"><ss:value source="$attr.size"/></option>
</ss:if>
</ss:foreach>
</select>
</font>
</td>

* If the user clicks a category or subcategory link that does not have any categories, the Catalog List will display a list of product search results.
You can modify this code to show images as subcategory links as well.
