Why are these pages considered duplicate page content?
-
A recent crawl diagnostic for a client's website had several new duplicate page content errors.
The problem is, I'm not sure where the error comes from since the content in the webpage is different from one another.
Here's the pages that SEOMOZ reported to have duplicate page content errors:
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/wireless-internet-service-providers-term
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/antivirus-term
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/berkeley-internet-name-domain
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/customer-premises-equipment-term
The only thing similar that I see is the headline which says "Glossary Terms Used in this Site" - I hope that the one sentence is the reason for the error.
Any input is appreciated as I want to find out the best solution for my client's website errors.
Thanks!

Maybe its a sample.
but what i would do,is look at the souce code. there is a huge amount of script and menu content that could posible be removed. you content is almost at the bottom of the page. it looks like about 2% of the page. get rid of the scripts into external files, get rid of the menus and try to get original content up to higher %

I understand what you're saying.
However, there are several hundreds of pages like that which are 1 word definition pages like the 4 ones that I've mentioned above.
Here's one example of a 1 word definition page that did not report any error:
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/local-area-network-definition
Among all those pages, there's only around 14-20 that are getting duplicate page content errors (including the four I mentioned above).
That is why I'm curious to find out the reason why the four above reported duplicate page errors.
Thanks!

Hi John,
Its shows you duplicate pages because, too little difference in search engine readabel text between all this pages.
Like you compare the title and only two words are different. You compare the page content only middle paragraph is different in all other pages.
Try to right different titles and description for all the pages. And Possible Add little bit more content.
I think it will helps a page to be stand as a unique.
Thanks.

New pages on my web site
I have created web sites that appear somewhere on Google in hardly any time at all, but I appear to have forgotten something or things are different for pages added recently to an existing website. I have added a page on a particular subject, optimized it using on page grader, so that I get an A, and a check mark for everything except H1 tags and rel=canonical which my web hosting provider does not support. I do have a check mark for accessible to search engines The page has the format http://www.domain.com/specific-keyword It is in the menu, so should have internal links to it, as I understand it. I have created a new site map, and submitted it in webmaster tools. Interestingly it says that of the 96 pages only 76 were indexed is this a clue? and why would they not index a page I have then shared the page on google plus, facebook, tumblr, pinterest and twitter and some others In OSE it comes up as domain authority 28 page authority 1, the social media shares do show up in metrics on the right but no links internal or external are shown, they do on other pages I created in the same way. Is it just a case of waiting or is their something I do to help thank you

To Worry or Not? Duplicate Content Created from Redirect After Login
One of my Moz reports is flagging duplicate content. For example, https://redchairmarket.com/Account/LogOn?ReturnUrl=%2FAccount%2FSaveSearch%3FsearchId%3D0&searchId=0 and https://redchairmarket.com/Account/LogOn?ReturnUrl=%2FAccount%2FSaveSearch%3FsearchId%3D1&searchId=1 are created when a user logs in and the website sends them back to the page they were looking at before. What is the best way to deal with this duplicate issue? How serious is it? Thank you!

Duplicate Page Titles & Content
We have just launched a new version of a website and after running it through SEOMOZ we have over 6000 duplicate title & content errors. (awesome) 😕 We have products that show up multiple times under different URLs however we "thought" we had implemented the rel=canonical correctly. My question is - do these errors still show up in SEOMOZ despite the canonical tags being there OR if they were "correct" would we be getting "zero" errors?

Duplicate content pages
Crawl Diagnostics Summary shows around 15,000 duplicate content errors for one of my projects, It shows the list of pages with how many duplicate pages are there for each page. But i dont have a way of seeing what are the duplicate page URLs for a specific page without clicking on each page link and checking them manually which is gonna take forever to sort. When i export the list as CSV, duplicate_page_content column doest show any data. Can anyone please advice on this please. Thanks <colgroup><col width="1096"></colgroup>

Member Only Content
I run a wordpress based website that contains a large amount of free content, but also a large amount of content that is only accessed via a paid membership. After running a SEOmoz campaign for the site, it showed 3600 errors for duplicate page titles and 1900 errors for duplicate page content. After looking into the errors it became clear that the majority of them were due to the fact that if you clicked on a link to paid content, it would take you to the paid membership sign in page. So how to I go about fixing these errors? I don't want this to hurt my rankings. Or fix it if it already has.

Why does SEO moz show so many more duplicate page titles than webmaster
My SEO moz duplicate page titles are more than double the webmaster duplicate page titles. Plus, some of the items appearing in SEO moz are not really duplicates. Anyone else seeing this?

Will canonical tag get rid of duplicate page title errors?
I have a directory on my website, paginated in groups of 10. On page 2 of the results, the title tag is the same as the first page, as it is on the 3rd page and so on. This is giving me duplicate page title errors. If i use rel=canonical tags on the subsequent pages and href the first page of my results, will my duplicate page title warnings go away? thanks.

My crawl diagnostic is showing 2 duplicate content and titles.
First of all Hi - My name is Jason and I've just joined - How you all doing? My 1st question then: When I view where these errors are occurring it says www mydomain co uk and www mydomain co uk/index.html Isn't this the same page? I have looked into my root folder and only index.html exists.
