Duplicat contents on wordpress
-
I ran a crawl error and found that I have many pages with "tag"
i.e. http://www.soobumimphotography.com/tag/70-200-2-8-is/
What's the best way to deal with this problems?
Is it worth to visit all of them and fix? Delete?
Could you give me some suggestions?

Hi,
I had the same issue. After setting up SEO MOZ, fixing about 400 problems, on the next crawl (after installing wordpress and transfering all our old news items across for our blog) we had about 1,000 problems with duplicate pages (most blog pages were duplicated 50 times!!!.I've installed Yoast, had a quick go through (looks good), I think I've got it sorted
I'll check again after the next crawl and see if it works and report back.
It's interesting how this question is also asked in the Wordpress forums with no responses or silly comments about SEOMOZ being rubbish and not understanding how Wordpress works (or what not).

Thank you Streamline and Roque for answering!
In most standard cases, noindexing tags is what I advise. You can refer to two documents;

My post about safely de-indexing tags in WordPress

You likely have two because of the theme you're using. Noindex both tag sections.
-
Looks like there's two tags section
Should I noindex both of them?
Now sure why they have two tags and two categories.
Thanks again

Hi again! Nope. You need to browse to the titles and metas section, then taxonomies. You will find the option there, and mark no index follow. Volia!!
-
Yoast plugin is already installed.
So should I go to each of the pages and no follow?
-
The wordpress SEO by yoast has a feature to no index/ no follow (or both) tag pages.
Install the plugin and just mark those pages with a no index tag.
Ill add a screen capture but doing some search you will find lots of advanced tutorials to go deep with the plugin. Is worth to spend some time with because its really good!
Good luck!

I would suggest installing WordPress SEO by Yoast. It allows you to choose which pages you want to index. I usually index Categories and block Tags, but you can try one or the other.

Duplicate Content only an Issue on a Huge Scale?
To what extent is duplicate content an issue? We have a support forum with some duplicate content because users ask the same questions. The Moz reports we receive highlights our duplicate content and page title for our support forum as a "big" issue. I'm unsure to what extent it harms our SEO, and making the support section non-crawable would impair our level of support. It would be nice to know for sure if we should be concerned about this, and if yes, how can we do it differently? Thanks, I appreciate you help. -Allan

Logged In Only Content Made Available to Googlebot
Hi guys, On this page, http://www.jobiness.sg/changi-airport-group/work-reviews/id-18180200170/?page=2, I require my users to sign up to be able to view the content. I would like to make this available to search engine crawlers. Also, are there any general guidelines regarding making this type of optimization? Is this considered acceptable within Google's guidelines? From my research, there seems to be 3 ways to go about doing this: Creating an account for the bots such that they are considered 'logged in users' Adding checks to my html to see the http user agent Google click first free (havent dont much research into this yet)

Duplicate Content from on Competitor's site?
I've recently discovered large blocks of content on a competitors site that has been copy and pasted from a client's site. From what I know, this will only hurt the competitor and not my client since my guy was the original. Is this true? Is there any risk to my client? Should we take action? Dino

Should I worry about duplicate titles on pages where there is paginated content?
LivingThere.com is a real estate search site and many of our content pages are "search result" - ish in that a page often provides all the listings that are available and this may go on for multiple pages. For example, this is a primary page about a building: http://livingthere.com/building/31308-Cocoa-Exchange Because of the number of listings, the listings paginate to a second page: http://livingthere.com/building/31308-Cocoa-Exchange?MListings_page=2 Both pages have the same Page Title. Is this a concern? If so is there a "best practice" for giving paginated content different titles? Thanks! Nate
