I have a lot of product pages that are very similar. A lot of the text is similar. The products do have different product names and their own title. But are the search engines considering these the same? Please look at both examples.

Different titles are NOT identical.

Chris is right, titles are not identical which makes your pages not the same to google or other search engines for that matter.

Why? As far as I see, they are exactly the same site!

Well errm? Yes, it is the same site but two different pages

Like the vast majority of ecommerce sites, there is a lot of "boilerplate text" but the pages are NOT identical.

Thanks for the responses. It looks like google is slowly getting around to indexing the pages and they are coming up separately.
