Duplicate Content
-
I am wondering what is the best way to show google that there is duplicate content on the page. for example on our product pages they are unique content except we give the same guarantee and promise on every product providing some duplicate content. What is the best way to fix this issue?

putting in sidebar will still be detected by Google so no use I guess.
You can do one thing, just make one page of Guarantee and add guarantee button (saying checkout our guarantee) and then add this button to each page, users can click on this button to check out your guarantee and duplicate content issue will be solved. Because in this case now we only have pone page of grantee and its only the button that exists at multiple pages!!

Yeah that's a lot of text. Not sure how Google reacts to that. However, what I am sure about is that Google will recognize patterns in structure, so maybe you should consider placing your guarantee in the sidebar or some other navigational spot. I know it kinda requires a bit of restructuring of your content and boxes, but maybe it's worth the effort

It is a good amount of text if you go here http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/49/-/181/1137/-/19426/Bridgestone-Battlax-BT45-V-Rated-Rear-Motorcycle-Tire and click on the "Our Guarantee" you can see what i am talking about.

I would say it depends on the length of your product descriptions. If your guarantees etc are like 50-100 words and your product description is 200 words, Google most likely wont consider those pages for duplicates.
However, you can help Google to figure out the context, so if you place your guarantees within a box in the aside-tag or similar, Google will most likely "guess" your website structure and consider your guarantees a static element like your navigation, footer etc.

Many ecommerce sites have this same problem. But Google's algo is complex enough to understand that there is a bit of similar content on such sites. So if its not a big chunk of text its should be ok. And I am not aware of any code of fix to this issue.
All you can do is make 4 or 5 combination (different versions of your guarantee text and use them alternatively to at least ease things a bit)

Community Discussion - Should low-cost content providers be seen as viable options for content marketers?
Hello there, In the latest YouMoz post, "Case Study: How We Gained More than 100 Links for a Travel Website via Content Marketing," Tom McLoughlin recommends an idea for content creation that is sure to elicit strong opinions from all sides: "Websites like Fiverr and Upwork are fantastic resources for finding freelancers who do great work. It simply takes a bit of initial time to sift through and separate the wheat from the chaff. Once that’s done, give the freelancers a detailed brief and tell them exactly what you want." What's your opinion? Have you had good experiences using these sites? If so, what have you found as the keys to making the working relationship a success.

My Boss tells me personal narrative content isn't read online and bad for SEO, anyone else disagree? b/c I do!
I am in a constant debate that content 1st person or 3rd person doesn't make a difference in terms of SEO and what people on the web want to read. What do you all think? Does it make a difference?

Duplicate content problem
Hi, i have a serious problem. I work in joomla and sometimes it can be annoying. When you set up a category, you need to give it a name and maybe this is a huge error on my part as i did not really think about the names beforehand. The situation i have now is, all my sections are in front page mode, but because you have to name the categories in order to write articles, i am now left with a load of blog sections such as http://www.in2town.co.uk/benidorm/benidorm-news Now i have a main section called Benidorm news so i have duplicate sections, i want to know if i can redirect the http://www.in2town.co.uk/benidorm/benidorm-news to go to the main benidorm section or if there is a better way of doing it. i have left this blod layout the way it is to show you, but the others i just have it where it shows the title and then goes to the article. I work in k2 and would be grateful if anyone can let me know the solution to this as semoz is showing that i have many duplicate titles and content many thanks

Promoting blog content
I've created a pinterest board, which kind of serves as a blog also as it tells people how they can save money on their heating bills this winter. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to promote it as a backlinking opportunity? Would it be good to also feature the content on our website? Guest blogging? Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you.

Blog and Website = 2 different URL's - Is it WORTH to merge content on to one site
Good day Mozzers! A friend of mine recently asked for my help in regards to online marketing. While getting familiar with his online presence, I realized that he has a blog hosted under a completely different URL Main Site = http://pardons.org/ (page rank 4)

Blog = http://pardons.wordpress.com/ (page rank 3) What I am battling with is whether or not he should take all of the blog content he has, and merge it on to his main site. It has over 280+ blog posts spanning over a few years, so there is A LOT of content that could benefit his main site. However is it worth it, or should he continue to run everything as 2 different sites? Also, of you suggest moving the content over, what would be the best way to do it in your opinion? He currently has links on his blog TO his main site, so there is a little bit of link juice there, but with a average of 300 views a day, he only get about 10 clicks to his main site from the blog. Thanks a ton for your help!0 -

Is it possible to over create/post content?
My company has signed up with a vendor to help write content. They are going to be supplying 50 articles per month so we'd basically be adding 2 or more articles per day. Is that too much or is that okay as long as it's quality content?
