Duplicate Items
Added by Bill Rodgers over 1 year ago
Hi,
Just set the plug-in up at a new blog. It's showing duplicate items. I used the keyword bikes and some products show up several times, one after the other. Prices are identical. The whole item is identical. These are not similar products with subtle differences. They are duplicates. Is there some way to control this? Here's the shortcode I used: [cj_show_items advertiser_ids="2928793" keywords="bikes"]
Thanks,
Bill

This is typically an issue in the data feed that the store provides to CJ. Have you tried a different store to see if the problem persists?
One way to check is to go to Commission Junction and search the advertiser's product feed there and see what comes up.
We've run into several cases where the data is wrong, out of date, or just plain obsolete.
Unfortunately some vendors are better than others at keeping those feeds updated.

Thanks for your quick response Lance.
Yes, this is likely the cause here. Vendor's products are hard to pull up at CJ using keyword searches and using the same keyword as at CJ doesn't load the same ones as at our site. Adding filters to our shortcode only makes for more duplicates. We contacted them to ask if they could help with duplicates from their end.
