Google omitting some entries
-
Hi,
I used this tool to test some domains. The tool can be found at
http://www.virante.com/seo-tools/duplicate-content
I have no questions about the other checks but with the similarity check.
My question is how do i get Google not to omit some entries very similar to the top 1000 pages on my site?
Will appreciate your answers, thanks.

Good response Ryan thank you once again.

I am trying to be helpful here. Your original question did not mention anything related to optimizing content. It sounds a whole lot more like you want to manipulate search engines into indexing your duplicate content. I've re-read your question a couple times and that is the only way I am able to interpret your question.
There is not a hard rule in that regard. Google will examine the percentage of duplicate content. They will understand rewording of the same content and view it as a duplication. You need to make the second page truly unique. The best suggestion I can offer is ask a second person to write a page on the same topic without allowing them to see the first page.
You can ask 5 people to write an article on the "Ford Mustang" and you can receive 5 completely different, unique articles. One could focus on resale value, another on the history of the mustang, another on racing, etc.
If you ask one person to reword the same article so it can be indexed a second time, you wont be happy with the results. Even if you do manage to get it indexed, you are one Panda update away from posting the famous "why did my rankings drop" question.

Thank you for your contribution Ryan
I am quite aware of writing for readers and always putting them first in everything beside that's what the search engines are interested in isn't in? I mean the readers finding quality relevant content through their engines.
What i am interesting after satisfying the first and primary part is optimizing the content for search engines, isn't that what SEO is all about? If most are providing quality content, all still have to compete for the limited top positions available isn't it?
Thank you for the feedback, will appreciate any other contribution.

You would need to change the content enough to where it was not seen as a duplication of the original information. You need to think of users and ask if they read the first article, what would make them want to read the second article?
If you are trying to reword the article for search engines, you are in the wrong mindset. Think of your readers.

Google Not Seeing My 301's
Good Morning! So I have recently been putting in a LOT of 301's into the .htaccess, no 301 plugins here, and GWMT is still seeing a lot of the pages as soft 404's. I mark them as fixed, but they come back. I will also note, the previous webmaster has ample code in our htaccess which is rewriting our URL structure. I don't know if that is actually having any effect on the issue but I thought I would add that. All fo the 301's are working, Google isn't seeing them. Thanks Guys!

Do we need to remove Google Authorship from the blog?
http://www.virante.org/blog/2013/12/19/authorshippocalypse-google-authorship-penguin-finally-appeared/ Search Engine Land reported that Google confirms that Authorship results in search are being intentionally reduced. It appears that the Matt Cutts-promised reductions to the amount of Google Authorship results being shown in Google Search has begun. Do we need to remove a Google Authorship tag from the blog? Because it hurts the ranking?

Effect of I-Frame on Google Rank
My commercial real estate web site (www.nyc-officespace-leader.com) allows visitors to search for office space listings. The site sources listings through a third party and they are displayed in an i-frame. The i-frame directs visitors to listing pages such as: http://listings.nyc-officespace-leader.com/getspace.mpl?sp_id=A0173921&cust_id=offspldr Atleast 10,000 of these pages have backlinks to my site. My question is the following: Could these tens of thoudands of alpha numeric URLs be detrimental to my sites ranking on Google after the Panda/Penguin updates? SIte traffic dropped from 7,000 per month to about 3,300 after the April Google update. Rewriting content for dozens of pages and adding a blog have only somewhat mitigated the negative effects of Panda/Penguin. Could Google be viewing these links from the third party lisitng provider as a negative when they viewed these links as a plus before? Any downside to removing the third party links and parsing these listings from landlord websited and displaying them as part of my site with their own URL, title tag, description tag? Obviously the new URLS would not be alphanumeric. If these links have not caused the drop in traffic last April, what could be responsible? Thanks in advance for your opinion!!! Alan
