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.

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.

Much better authority and content than some competitors, why do they appear first?
On august we have lost the top positions for some keywords. Our website authority is 62 (google page rank 5), and some quite small competitors appear first now (some of them have authority 22, google page rank 3!). Our only big change was the DNS server, from godaddy to dnsimple.com, which seems to be some milisseconds slower. Every other metric is in our favor: from on-page repports to site speed. Sometimes by a factor of 3 or 4. What can be happening? We have also realized that, in private browsing, rankings will change a little bit in different cities, even if they are quite close to each other.

Local search
hi, Local search case i try to evaluate local competition on a local query such as "hairdresser + the city name" in Google for a merchant without website neither a google adresse listing. Top results : 7 google adresses pack : ok Organic results : SERP display only directories ! The first 10 pages are reviews platforms & local directories (qype, yelp, yellowpages etc..) except only 1 or 2 urls with personalized domains name. 1/ Would it be easy with to make a website + with a brand new domain name (myhaidresseShop.com) to dominate these serp (organics) quickly (first 2 months) ? 2/ Would it be better to first launch a targeted submission campaign (popularity) on those local directories with personalized data (first month) , and later on, to build a website ? 3/ Or ideally, from start, to make both a local campaign (Google adresse + submission) and launch a new website ? Tks in advance...
