Internal Duplicate Content Question...
-
We are looking for an internal duplicate content checker that is capable of crawling a site that has over 300,000 pages. We have looked over Moz's duplicate content tool and it seems like it is somewhat limited in how deep it crawls. Are there any suggestions on the best "internal" duplicate content checker that crawls deep in a site?

If you want to a free test to crawl use this
https://www.deepcrawl.com/forms/free-crawl-report/
Please remember that URIs & URLs are different so your site with 300,000 URLs might have 600,000 URIs if you want to see how it works for free you can sign up for a free crawl for your first 10,000 pages.
I am not affiliated with the company aside from being a very happy customer.

Far no way the Best is going to be deep Crawl it automatically connects to Google Webmaster tools and analytics.
it can crawl constantly for ever. The real advantage is setting it to five URLs per second and depending on the speed of your server it will do it consistently I would not go over five pages per second. Make sure that you pick a dynamic IP structuring if you do not have a strong web application firewall if you do pick a single static IP then you can crawl the entire tire site without issue by white listing it. Now this is my personal opinion and I know what you're asking to be accomplished in the literally no time compared to other systems using deep crawl deepcrawl.com
It will show you what duplicate content is contained inside your website duplicate URLs what duplicate title tags you name it.

You have a decent sized website and I would recommend adding a free edition of Robotto.org Robotto, can detect whether a preferredwww or non-www option has been configured correctly.
A lot of issues with web application firewall and CDNs you name it can be detected using the school and the combination of them is a real one-two punch. I honestly think that you will be happy with this tool. I have had issues with anything local like screaming frog when crawling surcharge websites you do not want to depend on your desktop ram. I hope you will let me know if this is a good solution for you I know that it works very very well and it will not stop crawling until it finds everything. Your site will be finished before 24 hours are done.

Correct, Thomas. We are not looking to restructure the site at this time but we are looking for a program that will crawl 300,000 plus pages and let us know which internal pages are duplicated.

If the tool has to crawl more than a crawl depth of 100 it is very common to find something that's able to do it. Like a said deep crawl, screaming frog & Moz is but you're talking about finding content that shouldn't be restructured.

If you looking for the most powerful tool for crawling websites deepcrawl.com is the king. Screaming frog it Is good but is dependent on RAM on your desktop. And does not have as many features as deep crawl

Check out Siteliner. I've never tried it with a site that big, personally. But it's free, so worth a shot to see what you can get out of it.

Magento products and eBay - duplicate content risk?
Hi, We are selling about 1000 sticker products in our online store and would like to expand a large part of our products lineup to eBay as well. There are pretty good modules for this as I've heard. I'm just wondering if there will be duplicate content problems if I sync the products between Magento and eBay and they get uploaded to eBay with identical titles, descriptions and images? What's the workaround in this case? Thanks!

Duplicate Content Issues :(
I am wondering how we can solve our duplicate content issues. Here is the thing: There are so many ways you can write a description about a used watch. http://beckertime.com/product/mens-rolex-air-king-no-date-stainless-steel-watch-wsilver-dial-5500/ http://beckertime.com/product/mens-rolex-air-king-stainless-steel-date-watch-wblue-dial-5500/ Whats different between these two? The dial color. We have a lot of the same model numbers but with different conditions, dial colors, and bands.. What ideas do you have?

Subcategories within "New Arrivals" section - duplicate content?
Hi there, My client runs an e-commerce store selling shoes that features a section called "New Arrivals" with subcategories, such as "shoes," "wedges," "boots," "sandals," etc. There are already main subcategories on the site that target these terms. These are specifically pages for "New Arrivals - Boots," etc. The shoes listed on each new arrivals subcategory page are also listed in the main subcategory page. Given that there is not really any search volume for "Brand + new arrivals in boots," but lots of search volume for "Brand + boots," what is the proper way to handle these new arrivals subcategory pages? Should each subcategory have a rel=canonical tag pointing to the main subcategory? Should they be de-indexed? Should I keep them all indexed but try to make the content as unique as possible? Thank you!

Duplicate content when changing a site's URL due to algorithm penalty
Greetings A client was hit by penguin 2.1, my guess is that this was due to linkbuilding using directories. Google webmaster tools has detected about 117 links to the site and they are all from directories. Furthermore, the anchor texts are a bit too "perfect" to be natural, so I guess this two factors have earned the client's site an algorithm penalty (no manual penalty warning has been received in GWT). I have started to clean some of the backlinks, on Oct the 11th. Some of the webmasters I asked complied with my request to eliminate backlinks, some didn´t, I disavowed the links from the later. I saw some improvements on mid october for the most important KW (see graph) but ever since then the rankings have been falling steadily. I'm thinking about giving up on the domain name and just migrating the site to a new URL. So FINALLY MY QUESTION IS: if I migrate this 6-page site to a new URL, should I change the content completely ? I mean, if I just copy paste the content of the curent site into a new URL I will incur in dpolicate content, correct?. Is there some of the content I can copy ? or should I just start from scratch? Cheers hRggeNE

Duplicate content clarity required
Hi, I have access to a masive resource of journals that we have been given the all clear to use the abstract on our site and link back to the journal. These will be really useful links for our visitors. E.g. http://www.springerlink.com/content/59210832213382K2 Simply, if we copy the abstract and then link back to the journal source will this be treated as duplicate content and damage the site or is the link to the source enough for search engines to realise that we aren't trying anything untoward. Would it help if we added an introduction so in effect we are sort of following the curating content model? We are thinking of linking back internally to a relevant page using a keyword too. Will this approach give any benefit to our site at all or will the content be ignored due to it being duplicate and thus render the internal links useless? Thanks Jason

Wordpress Duplicate Content Due To Allocating Two Post Categories
It looks like google has done a pretty deep crawl of my site and is now showing around 40 duplicate content issues for posts that I have tagged in two seperate categories for example: http://www.musicliveuk.com/latest-news/live-music-boosts-australian-economy http://www.musicliveuk.com/live-music/live-music-boosts-australian-economy I use the all in one SEO pack and have checked the no index for categories, archive, and tag archive boxes so google shouldn't even crawl this content should it? . I guess the obvious answer is to only put each post in one category but I shouldn't have to should I? Some posts are relevant in more than once category.
