Actually, we have list of portfolio and detailed page for each portfolio But We get error all portfolio pages are having duplicate content. But, i made canonical tag to direct to root page. Please help me to overcome this.
Also, i see duplicae webworld.no & www.webworld.no. is there anything i need to fix in redirection? in server?

Hi Robert
I think the problem with your portfolio is that there is not enough unique content on the page that Google can read. Let's look at these two examples:
http://www.webworld.no/referanser/nordstrand-kiropraktorklinikk_14/#topp_
http://www.webworld.no/referanser/r%C3%B8d-eiendom_13/#topp_Remember, Google doesn't "see" the images as we seem them, so for all intents and purposes it will be seeing these two pages as nearly identical, hence a potential duplicate content issue. You can check how your page looks in Google's eyes with this SEO Browser.
As for the webworld.no & www.webworld.no issue, what's basically happening is that both URLs are being indexed, therefore they are technically duplicates. For homepages, I recommend 301 redirecting one of the URLs to the other. Decide how you'd like your homepage to be seen and then redirect the old URL to the new one. SEOMoz also provides this handy redirection guide.
Hope this helps you.

Should cornerstone content have 3,500 words? Does Google discern words from the main text and from the references?
Is it true that cornerstone content should have at least 3,500 words? I've done some research and found that the recommended amount is between 2K-10k. Also, the content that we create/publish has a lot of references/citations at the end of each article. Does Google discern words from the main text and from the references? Meaning should I count references as part of the word count? Thanks for the help!

I went and added a H1 on my posts, but it is saying the issue was not fixed. Any ideas?
I "thought" I fixed a bunch of missing H1's on my blog, but when recrawled said the issue is still there. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong or how to fix? I'm not sure what to do other than put in an H1 heading-which I did. Thanks! Jamie

2 URLs pointing to exactly the same content
Hi guys As far as I know if you have 2 websites with exactly the same (100%) content with 2 URLs which are not pointing to any other URL should attract penalisation from google, right? well, there is such a case and it was online for long time but the bad guys are in top of organic search and it does not seem to bother google at all! I don't want to list them here; it is extremely annoying and frustrating as I worked hard to get in higher search but seeing this thing is extremely frustrating! any advice on this? thanks
