How to check for Duplicate Content Locally
-
Hi All,
Scenario
I have Instant Wordpress installed on my local machine.
I am in the process of redesigning my website; content, articles, etc.
I have internet access on my local machine.Question
I would like to cross check all internal links/pages against each other for duplicate content.
I would also like to check all internal pages against external www page instances for duplicate content.How can I achieve the following.
Thanks Mark

For external pages, copyscape should be sufficient.
For internal content, I would launch it noindexed on a test server (use meta robots and robots.txt) and run a Moz campaign crawl on it. That should be able to tell you whether any content is duplicated within the site without the content getting indexed.

I second Jonathan on copyscape -- it is a great tool to check for external duplicate content and the Copysentry feature is fairly good when combined with other checking methods.
To check for internal duplicate content, check out http://www.siteliner.com/ They are new, but it has been helpful each time I have tried it (and free).

Try copyscape.com. You can specific text by using Copyscape Premium, or protect your site (automatic checking) by using Copysentry.

I personally use Copyscape Premium for checking stuff and it is pretty good. It is 5c per search, so very cheap.

Outranked for own content
One of my clients has a travel site and is syndicating apartment listings to the likes of tripadvisor and flipkey. I've just done an SEO audit for them and noticed that when searching for snippets of text from within an apartment listing, these aggregator sites outrank my client by miles (which is the original creator of the content). How would you suggest tackling this issue? We can't give up the aggregator sites as they're bringing in sales. The first solution that comes to mind is send different descriptions to aggregator sites than the content on our site, however this would mean rewriting a ton of content. Any other suggestions on how to treat aggregator/comparison shopping sites?

Old Hand But New At Local
Hi Mozzers, I've enjoyed success for customers with national campaigns but until now have never taken on a local campaign. My method has been to find out what prospective customers were looking for and create content around this, then engage customers through various inbound channels. This, combined with a strong value proposition and strong calls to action has been successful. What if anything should I change for a local campaign? I'd be interested in hearing from some people that have successfully conducted local campaigns. As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

How to check Google Keyword rankings?
Hey, So I recently watched the DuckDuckGo commercial about Google's results bubble. My question is how can you get the actual keyword rankings of relevant key phrases without Google taking your locations and search history into account? Would it just be a case of clearing your cache & history from the beginning of time or is there an accurate tool (other than SEOmoz ofc that I can use? Best regards, Dan

Competitor with over 100,000 links to duplicate copy ranks well, anyone know why?
One of our competitors has over 100,000 links on Yahoo site explorer, most of them are from pages on their site with duplicate content and they don't seem to have a focus on gaining backlinks, but the site still ranks really well. Can anyone think of a reason why this duplicate content hasn't been penalised by Google?
