Dynamic pages for locations, but SEOmoz counts them as multiple content. Are there any good work-arounds?

[rsasanchez]

We have a client that has a list of locations. Instead of having multiple pages (65) for each, the pages content is dynamic, hence, the multiple content for each location. Just the 'city" variable changes on the page. Is there a graceful way to fix this problem so I don't get bookoos of errors in the crawl or if I am approaching this wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick response! I figured that's what I would have to do and I do think it's the best practice as well. Just thought there might be have been another way. Cheers!

If I understand your question correctly, you literally have duplicate content across the entire list of locations ("just the city variable changes on the page.").

If that's correct understanding, the best solution is to ensure that you have enough unique content for each location so list to ensure a comparison of location to location shows enough unique content compared to duplicate content.

Alternately, you would need to find a way to combine the least important locations into a smaller number of pages but the more locations you try to optimize a single page for, the more difficult the work becomes.
