Hi,

I'm reviewing somebodies site and just realized that it's overflown with duplicates. Like these:

<colgroup><col width="3496"></colgroup>
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html |
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=1 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=6 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=7 |

It also produces something like this:

|

<colgroup><col width="3496"></colgroup>
| www.joannalark.com/store/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages.php?pageid=8 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages.php?pageid=8 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages.php?pageid=8 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages.php?pageid=8 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages.php?pageid=8 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages.php?pageid=8 |

Hi JJ,

The usage of canonical tag on the document could help you out.

For ex. in the file: 24%22-Sting.html you can insert the canonical tag

You should insert the canonical tag before the .

This way you will exclude the following pages to be indexed:

| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=1 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=6 |
| www.joannalark.com/store/products/24"-Sting.html?setCurrencyId=7 |

Also you will transfer the "link juice" from these pages and focus only on one page: 24%22-Sting.html

I hope it helped,

Istvan

What to do about resellers duplicating content?

Just went through a big redevelopment for a client and now have fresh images and updated content but now all the resellers have just grabbed the new images/content and pasted them on their own site. My client is a manufacture that sells directly online and over the phone for large orders. I'm just not sure how to handle the resellers duplicate content. Any thoughts on this? Am I being silly for worrying about this?

Duplicate and thin content - advanced..

Hi Guys Two issues to sort out.. So we have a website that lists products and has many pages for: a) The list pages - that lists all the products for that area.
b) The detailed pages - that when click into from the list page, will list the specific product in full. On the list page, we perhaps have half the description written down, when clicked into you see the full description.
If you search in google for a phrase on the detailed page, you will see results for that specific page including 'multiple' list pages where it is on. For example, lets say we are promoting 'trees' which are situated in Manhatten. And we are also promoting trees in Brooklyn, there is a crossover. So a tree listed in Manhatten will also be listen in brooklyn as its close by (not from America so don't laugh if I have areas muddled)
We then have quite a few pages with the same content as a result. I read a post a while back from the mighty Cutts who said not to worry about the duplicate unless its spammy, but what is good for one person, is spammy to another.. Does anyone have any ideas as to if this is a genuine problem and how you would solve? Also, we know we have alot of thin content on the site, but we dont know how to identify it. It's a large site so needs something automated (I think).. Thanks in advance Nick

Duplicate Content?

Hi All, I have a new client site, a static site with navigation across the top, and down the left side. Two of the menus from the top navigation are replicated in the navigation structure on the left hand side. They have the exact same url structure, they are in fact the same exact page, listed on the site in two areas. My question is - is this a case of duplicate content, or, as they urls are the exact same, will they be seen as a single page? A canonical tag on one would be replicated on the other by the CMS - so do I leave it, or try to get them to re-structure removing one of the links? (I doubt they will do this as its a brand new site they just has developed). Many thanks!

Does schema.org assist with duplicate content concerns

The issue of duplicate content has been well documented and there are lots of articles suggesting to noindex archive pages in WordPress powered sites. Schema.org allows us to mark-up our content, including marking a components URL. So my question simply, is no-indexing archive (category/tag) pages still relevant when considering duplicate content? These pages are in essence a list of articles, which can be marked as an article or blog posting, with the url of the main article and all the other cool stuff the scheme gives us. Surely Google et al are smart enough to recognise these article listings as gateways to the main content, therefore removing duplicate content concerns. Of course, whether or not doing this is a good idea will be subjective and based on individual circumstances - I'm just interested in whether or not the search engines can handle this appropriately.

Is there any benefit in on-site duplicate content?

I have about 50 internal pages on my site that I want to add a "Do it yourself tutorial" to in an effort to build the quality of the pages. Is this going to de-value the content if I put it on all 50 pages? It's difficult to write similar content 50 different ways.
