Why are these pages considered duplicate page content?
-
A recent crawl diagnostic for a client's website had several new duplicate page content errors.
The problem is, I'm not sure where the error comes from since the content in the webpage is different from one another.
Here's the pages that SEOMOZ reported to have duplicate page content errors:
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/wireless-internet-service-providers-term
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/antivirus-term
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/berkeley-internet-name-domain
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/customer-premises-equipment-term
The only thing similar that I see is the headline which says "Glossary Terms Used in this Site" - I hope that the one sentence is the reason for the error.
Any input is appreciated as I want to find out the best solution for my client's website errors.
Thanks!

Maybe its a sample.
but what i would do,is look at the souce code. there is a huge amount of script and menu content that could posible be removed. you content is almost at the bottom of the page. it looks like about 2% of the page. get rid of the scripts into external files, get rid of the menus and try to get original content up to higher %

I understand what you're saying.
However, there are several hundreds of pages like that which are 1 word definition pages like the 4 ones that I've mentioned above.
Here's one example of a 1 word definition page that did not report any error:
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/local-area-network-definition
Among all those pages, there's only around 14-20 that are getting duplicate page content errors (including the four I mentioned above).
That is why I'm curious to find out the reason why the four above reported duplicate page errors.
Thanks!

Hi John,
Its shows you duplicate pages because, too little difference in search engine readabel text between all this pages.
Like you compare the title and only two words are different. You compare the page content only middle paragraph is different in all other pages.
Try to right different titles and description for all the pages. And Possible Add little bit more content.
I think it will helps a page to be stand as a unique.
Thanks.

Why would I be ranking for a term when it's not anywhere in my page or pages linking to it?
Hi, I have a keyword that's not anywhere in my page in page-grade tool nor are any pages linking to it with that term, why would that be ranking. The term is "dynamic card solution" This is a company we used to have 5 years ago and merged with our company. This term is ranking #1 for this page- http://www.datacard.com/instant-issuance-solutions . I can't figure why that would be even as this is a newer page in the past year. Thanks for any insight as I'm newer to moz. Laura

How to Avoid Duplicate Page Content errors when using Wordpress Categories & Tags?
I get a lot of duplicate page errors on my crawl diagnostics reports from 'categories' and 'tags' on my wordpress sites. The post is 1x link and then the content is 'duplicated' on the 'category' or 'tag' that is added to the page. Should I exclude the tags and categories from my sitemap or are these issues not that important? Thanks for your help Stacey

Duplicate Content for Default Document Domains
I've noticed recently that within the Moz Crawl Report I keep seeing duplicate content for one of our pages that pulls from a default document. The pages are product pages, one ending in releases/ and the other ending in releases/index and are both identical pages. Normally in these situations I would prefer to make sure that every link is being sent to the releases/ page, however according to Moz, the releases/index page is actually ranking better and has a higher internal link count. Can someone advise me on the best way to deal with this situation? Hopefully I've explained myself well enough! Thanks Sam

How can I deal with tag page duplicate issues
The Moz crawler reported some dupliated issues. Many of them have to do with tags.
Moz Pro | | IamKovacs
Each tag has a link, and as some articles are under several tags, these come up as duplicate content. I read Dr Peter's piece on Canonical stuff, but it's not clear to me if any of these are the solution. Perhaps the solution lies somewhere else? Maybe I need to block the robots from these urls (But that seems counter-SEO-productive) Thanks

Issue: Duplicate page title
Hello, I have run the "Crawl Diagnostics" report using SEOmoz pro and it says that I have a total of 56 errors. 18 of those errors being duplicate content and another 38 errors being duplicate title tags. Now I have looked at both reports and detail and the reason I am getting there errors is due to the fact the it is checking "http" and "https". So for example: my website is http://www.widgets.com On the crawl diagnostics report, it also checks https://www.widgets.com So it looks like I have duplicate content and duplicate title tags because of this Now my question is this: Is this really duplicate content? If so, how do I fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

How does moztrust compare with google page rank?
I have a trial Seomoz membership. I've been comparing my site to some of the competitor websites and Im confused about the moztrust vs google page rank. For instance some of my competitors have higher moztrust but my site has a higher google page rank. Isn't moztrust meant to duplicate google pagerank?? Why would these vary so much?
