Duplicate Page Content but where?
-
Hi All
Moz is telling me I have duplicate page content and sure enough the PA MR mT are all 0 but it doesnt give me a link to this content!
This is the page:
http://www.orsgroup.com/index.php?page=Scanning-services
But I cant find where the duplicate content is other than on our own youtube page which I will get removed here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnjh9jkAWuA
Can anyone help please?

Sorted(I think) used screaming frog and identified a few caps issues, all looks ok now
Thanks for all the help

HI,
Put your site though screaming frog and it shows you are linking to that page in a couple of places with a lower case s 'scanning-services', I would think that is the issue that the crawl is flagging. Screaming frog mentions 3 instances of the lower case link so perhaps the sitemap was one and a couple of others hidden away in the page texts somewhere? Find and correct those capitalization mismatches and you should be good!

The page is listed in my sitemap.xml twice, I have no idea why! But I think that is where its getting it from.....
Probably just manually edit the sitemap and remove the 2nd entry?

Hi,
I am pretty sure moz only flags duplicate content on your own site and you should be able to find out what page it is referring to by downloading the csv of your crawl data, filter for duplicate content = true in the relevant column and then look on the far right hand side, the 'duplicate page content 2' column should give you the other page that is flagging this.

That is a good idea for improvement. Go here and suggest it!

Thanks Andy - Its hard to tell if Moz is saying "theres a page on your domain" that is a problem or just generally there is a page out there on the web that is a problem. Seems daft if they know about it, why not tell me on the report?
Actually Moz - take note - good improvement could be made here !

Copyscape throws the same up as you have there - your YouTube page.
Perhaps consider a revision of this on YouTube?

Handling of Duplicate Content
I just recently signed and joined the moz.com system. During the initial report for our web site it shows we have lots of duplicate content. The web site is real estate based and we are loading IDX listings from other brokerages into our site. If though these listings look alike, they are not. Each has their own photos, description and addresses. So why are they appear as duplicates – I would assume that they are all too closely related. Lots for Sale primarily – and it looks like lazy agents have 4 or 5 lots and input the description the same. Unfortunately for us, part of the IDX agreement is that you cannot pick and choose which listings to load and you cannot change the content. You are either all in or you cannot use the system. How should one manage duplicate content like this? Or should we ignore it? Out of 1500+ listings on our web site it shows 40 of them are duplicates.

Duplicate Content Issue
SEOMOZ is giving me a number of duplicate content warnings related to pages that have an email a friend and/or email when back in stock versions of a page. I thought I had those blocked via my robots.txt file which contains the following... Disallow: /EmailaFriend.asp Disallow: /Email_Me_When_Back_In_Stock.asp I had thought that the robot.txt file would solve this issue. Anyone have any ideas?

Avoiding duplicate content on internal pages
Lets say I'm working on a decorators website and they offer a list of residential and commercial services, some of which fall into both categories. For example "Internal Decorating" would have a page under both Residential and Commercial, and probably even a 3rd general category of Services too. The content inside the multiple instances of a given page (i.e. Internal Decorating) at best is going to be very similar if not identical in some instances. I'm just a bit concerned that having 3 "Internal Decorating" pages could be detrimental to the website's overall SEO?

How to prevent duplicate content in archives?
My news site has a number of excerpts in the form of archives based on categories that is causing duplicate content problems. Here's an example with the nutrition archive. The articles here are already posts, so it creates the duplicate content. Should I nofollow/noindex this category page along with the rest and 2011,2012 archives etc (see archives here)? Thanks so much for any input!

How can I prevent duplicate content between www.page.com/ and www.page.com
SEOMoz's recent crawl showed me that I had an error for duplicate content and duplicate page titles. This is a problem because it found the same page twice because of a '/' on the end of one url. e.g. www.page.com/ vs. www.page.com My question is do I need to be concerned about this. And is there anything I should put in my htaccess file to prevent this happening. Thanks!
