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)

Does google penalize you if you post content in french and english on a website
I'm trying to encourage content editors to only post content in either English or French. For example we have a French press release but the team are wanting it on our site in French and English. I thought this would fall under duplicate content rules. Does google penalize you if you post content in French and English on a website?

Duplicate Blog Content
Hey Mozzers! I have a client who is a dentist, with multiple offices, and wants to use an identical blog post (including images, alt text, text, tags, everything pretty much) from one of his office's website on his other office's website to save time and mimic the success of the original content for his other office. Everything I've researched says this is a HUGE no-no, but I'd love to hear if anyone else has tried to do something like this and if they were successful in doing so (implementing rel=cannonical or 301?). Also, if he is the owner of both sites and they both receive low traffic will Google even notice? My biggest worry is that if I did post the content on his other site, identically, that it would dilute the visibility of the original post, which has and is continuing to surpass our organic search goals... The main goal though, is to drive traffic to BOTH sites via organic search using the same content. Would love to hear everyone's opinions if this is possible or unrealistic... Thanks! -D

One Page Website Blog Content Question
Hi guys, I'm new to the art of SEO and am learning every day from all the fantastic content here, I have a question that I can't find an answer to, hope it doesn't stump you like it has me... I have a one page website (www.neilwilliamsvoiceover.com) that I need to put more content on for SEO purposes but needs to be kept as one page. I've set-up a blog via blogger, and have that on the website but it's in iframe, which I've now discovered is ignored by search engines. So, my question is, is there a way to pull my blog feed into the website and have it recognised by search engines as content for the website? Would I use an RSS feed or feed burner or something else completely?! Thanks for your time and help in advance.

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?

Getting Duplicated Content Removed
So I recently took over an in-house SEO role and began some house cleaning. I found a few places that had copied or duplicated our homepage content. Naturally I reached out to them to ask them to remove or change the content. Today I come to the office and one of the sites I had requested to remove the content, had fired back at me that I was being rude, threatening and I should go f**k myself. As if this wasn't enough this guys was an upper level manager (managing director) and knows the upper management where I work. Now I have people in my company pissed at me, when I thought I was doing the right thing. Am I in the wrong or what? I had simply asked to remove or change the content and that failure to do so could result in legal action. I understand that it could have been misconstrued as a threat (which it wasn't intended to be) but its seems like a pretty immature response from a higher level person. Any thoughts or advice on what to do next?

Using testimonials to build quality content
I don't see a lot of talk on here about using testimonials to build good content. From what I have seen, the search engines love client testimonials. I haven't found a good service provider for this yet. I'm thinking something combined with Twitter or FB that also allows you to show the content on your site would be great. Can anyone recommend a service like this? I'm checking out a service called, "Quick Vouch" but I haven't tested it yet.
