Offer landing page, duplicate content and noindex
-
Hi there
I'm setting up a landing page for an exclusive offer that is only available (via a link) to a particular audience.
Although I've got some specific content (offer informaiton paragraph), i want to use some of the copy and content from one of my standard product pages to inform the visitors about what it is that i'm trying to sell them.
Considering I'm going to include a noindex on this page, do i need to worry about it having some content copied directly from another page on my site?
Thanks

Thanks very much, Mark! This is really useful - I'm off to create my landing page with your advice in mind.

ZeeGirl- If you are properly using a no index there is no issue. And remember, if you are doing PPC, the content on the page will determine your quality score/relkevance and PPC...so make sure it is super strong related to the PPC ad and keywords.
You can avoid the no index altogether if you change most of the content to be unique (then witha little extra effort you kill two birds with one stone). You get ALL the extra SEO value attached to the main site and you get he QS and relevancy score high for the landing page. The standard is at least 50% unique verbiage...shoot for 75% plus and you will have no issues.....
Hope this helps. Please show me the love and give me the thumbs up. Thanks.
Mark

Creating Content for over 50,000 Pages
Hi, Our site is a football (soccer) statistics sites. We gather information on upcoming games and post results of past games. At the moment we have over 50,000 pages of results each having in-game data displayed. The main problem I have is none of these match data pages has any text.Mostly tables of stats. Could anyone suggest a way of creating unique content for these pages? If I created some generic a paragraphic of text that changed based on stats and figures would this be seen as duplicate content?

Duplicate content, which seems not to be duplicate :S
After crawling I am used to getting a lot of duplicate content messages in Moz, which are High Priority. I do not know what to do with them, since I believe we tackled all the issues. Main point being the advise to put in a link rel=canonical. An example of a page that accordeing to the report has a duplicate. I do not see how. Can you help with that? http://www.beat-it.nl/4y6hctr24x7wdmr-ml350-p-ic-procaresvc.html duplicate sample http://www.beat-it.nl/modu-hp-a5800-acm-for-64-256-aps.html

Does having landing page text beneath the products at the base of the page hinder SEO?
I have a site that is capable of hosting the landing page description either above the products under the H1 or below them at the bottom of the page before the footer. I have always chosen to keep the text "above the fold" as presumably this would be crawled sooner in relation to the rest of the page content than had it been at the bottom. However, this means that I can only really write just a few sentences for each landing page - otherwise the products would shift further down the page - and I don't think this is good from a UX POV. Question: If I move the bulk of my landing page descriptions to the text snippet located underneath the products, could this negatively affect my SEO? Text at the bottom of the page is obviously not significant for users, so is there a chance this could be seen as spam?

What is the Best Landing Page setup?
I have seen a few different types of landing pages. I am trying to figure out which style works best from a SEO perspective. 1. The cram everything possible onto the page approach ala nyt.com? 2. The fill your home page with a ton of links approach like cnn.com? 3. The put just a small sample of your content approach like seomoz? I see 4 blog snippets, a "Go To My Campaign" call to action and that's it. 4. Pages like Groupon.com which have 100% focus on a call to action. I also notice many focused pages like Groupon remove the header and footer on their landing page. Does that help the page retain it's PR better?
