Duplicate content list by SEOMOZ
-
Hi Friends,
I am seeing lot of duplicate (about 10%) from the crawl report of SEOMOZ.
The report says, "Duplicate Page Content"
But the urls it listed have different title, different url and also different content. I am not sure how to fix this issue..
My site has both Indian cinema news and photo gallery. The problme mainly coming in photo gallery posts.
for example:
this is the main url of a post.
apgossips.com/2012/12/18/telugu-actress-poonam-kaur-photos . But in this post, each image is a link to its enlarged images (default wordpress). The problem is coming with each individual image with in this post.
examples of SEOMOZ report 3 individual urls as duplicate content...from the same above post.:
Some body please advise me.. Appreciate your help.

You can always edit the image in the Wordpress post and then remove the link to the media file. This will prevent those pages from getting crawled from the post page.
If you are rewriting the URL you could install the Yoast SEO plugin and then choose the noindex/follow meta tag for date based archives as shown here:
-
No, I am not indexing archives at all. But the url is customized to include month/dd/yr in the permalink structure.
the issue here is, in a single post of photogallery, each individual photo is getting indexed I guess...
-
Are you using the date based archives? I would stop using those if I were you and assign articles to the appropriate category so your URL's are optimized for SEO.
The reason I'm suggesting this is because the easiest way to solve the problem is to disable indexing on date based archives which will also eliminate the duplicate content on the photo's b/c they are basically date based photo archives.
Let me know,

Thank you James, for the quick response.
I am kind of new to SEO, may I request you how to do the two step you said above?
1. What is the code i need to add in robots.txt?
2. How to remove default media links in wordpress?
I appreciate your response.
thanks,
KS

I prefer to disallow photo archive pages via robots.txt.
I also recommend removing the default link WP inserts to the media image page.

Duplicate Content - Bulk analysis tool?
Hi I wondered if there's a tool to analyse duplicate content - within your own site or on external sites, but that you can upload the URL's you want to check in bulk? I used Copyscape a while ago, but don't remember this having a bulk feature? Thank you!

Products description from third party vendor creating duplicate content issues?
Hi, I am running my client's e-store. The store sells different products from various vendors. Vendors provide us product descriptions. The problem is that these vendors also give these description to display their products on other similar sites and hence creating duplicate content issue. Thanks.

We always have the latest coupon codes for Amazon which are updated daily, so if you can't find any Amazon coupons here then you won't find them anywhere else.

Duplicate Content: Snippets from Blog on Website
Our company has a website and a blog, each on a separate domain. On our website's home page, we include snippets from some of our blog posts and links to such posts. The snippets include the same photo, title, and first line or so of text. We have been told and am concerned that search engines will categorize this as duplicate content. Any recommendation as to how we can get around this issue aside from not including the blog posts on our site? I imagine we are not the first company to want to do this. www.angelicolaw.com Thanks,

Silo and content
I'm about to launch my site but I have a question regarding content and silo structure. If I don't have enough content to fill 4 subpages, could it be better to have only a content-keyword-rich landing page for a silo instead of multiple pages with poor content? Thank you!

Duplicate content on homepage?
Hi I have just created a new campaign and it states that I have duplicate page content which would affect search rankings. Basically it is counting my site www.mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com/index.php as two seperate pages. How can I make it so that only www.mydomain.com is visible reducing the duplicate content issue? Many Thanks
