Duplicate content on site->citations? How important is it to change it?
-
Hi there,
I recently realised that the citations and directories i was building used the same content than the one on my website. I know this is not best practice. I will for sure make sure it doesn't happen in the future, but I am affraid of the ones i built in the past.
How much do you think this would affect my rankings, and do you think this is a priority to go through my citations and directories to modify it?

We recommend not having any duplicate content marketing on your website.
We had this problem with a summerhouse Bristol company, where some of the pages were duplicated, and what can happen is that this can sometimes negatively and adversely affect the organic Seo for that business, because it has duplicated text So, instead, take the time to write high-quality, unique content marketing for every page and blog post.

This is just an exemple (not really one of my clients) but lets say there is this paragraph of this web page: https://smallbusinesstaxaccountants.ca/about-us
"Small Business Tax Accountants (Canada) Inc. is quickly becoming an industry leader at accounting and bookkeeping for Canadian businesses by combining the latest templated documentation with highly qualified business professionals, in a truly unique formula!"
and on each of my citation and directory's description i am building, I am using this text as a description:
"Small Business Tax Accountants (Canada) Inc. is quickly becoming an industry leader at accounting and bookkeeping for Canadian businesses by combining the latest templated documentation with highly qualified business professionals, in a truly unique formula!"

Hey! Can you post an example of one?
Thanks!

Links from non existant sites?
Hi! I'm new at all this 🙂 I've taken a look at the backlink profile for one of my sites as it's seems its been hit by this last Penguin update. I'm finding links to my homepage from sites that no longer exist, like this one: http://mikimoto-pearls.org - does this hurt my backlink? I mean, I would figure it does since there's nothing there? If so, how do I get the link removed? Do I even need to? Disavow tool maybe? Thank you!

Open Site Explorer Question
Ok, so Open Site Explorer question: Say you enter a link and filter as follows - Followed + 301, only external, this page, ungroup. Now lets say 50 links appear from the same domain, when you visit the domain one of those Go Daddy type parked domain pages appear with lots of adsense as they usually do. Link back... No where to be seen. What's the score here? Is this domain showing up because OSE is yet to update for this domain?

Best way to set up a support site - sub domain, separate site or com/support?
My company is setting up our support site. It has been suggested that we set it up as a separate domain - www.company-support.com, rather than setting it up as a sub-domain (www.support.company.com) or the usual www.company.com/support. The person who proposed this believes it wlll create link juice, but i wonder if splitting the traffic will create more harm than good? Opinions please!

Quotations about importance of social media and backlinks
Hi all, I'm looking to put together a presentation on SEO and I'm wondering if anyone knows any good quotes that relate to the importance of having content on your site that people want to use and share. I'm looking for something like this: “Today’s marketing success comes from self-publishing Web content that people want to share. It’s not about gimmicks. It’s not about paying an agency to interrupt others.” David Meerman Scott “The New Rules of Marketing and PR” but ideally something that illustrates in terms of numbers how much more traffic and seo benefits a site can expect from having good guides, pdfs and news stories that people want to share. Thanks so much for any helo you can offer. thanks, David
