Tips and duplicate content
-
Hello, we have a search site that offers tips to help with search/find.
These tips are organized on the site in xml format with commas...
of course the search parameters are duplicated in the xml so that
we have a number of tips for each search parameter.
For example if the parameter is "dining room" we might have 35 pieces
of advice - all less than a tweet long.
My question - will I be penalized for keyword stuffing - how can I avoid this?
-
of course, it depends how much other content you have and are creating.
There is also the question of WHAT are you trying to rank on. The keyword stuffing penalty generally hits when the keyword stuffing is excessive and uncalled for.
You will probably not rank for "dining room" in the top 10 if the rest of your content is automatically generated. As a very general rule: do not use the keyword on a page more that 25 times and do not exceed 10% keyword density. BUT it may vary from case to case, from keyword to keyword, from market to market.

Duplicate content, although page has "noindex"
Hello, I had an issue with some pages being listed as duplicate content in my weekly Moz report. I've since discussed it with my web dev team and we decided to stop the pages from being crawled. The web dev team added this coding to the pages <meta name='robots' content='max-image-preview:large, noindex dofollow' />, but the Moz report is still reporting the pages as duplicate content. Note from the developer "So as far as I can see we've added robots to prevent the issue but maybe there is some subtle change that's needed here. You could check in Google Search Console to see how its seeing this content or you could ask Moz why they are still reporting this and see if we've missed something?" Any help much appreciated!

Duplicate Content within Site
I'm very new here... been reading a lot about Panda and duplicate content. I have a main website and a mobile site (same domain - m.domain.com). I've copied the same text over to those other web pages. Is that okay? Or is that considered duplicate content?

Question about duplicate content in crawl reports
Okay, this one's a doozie: My crawl report is listing all of these as separate URLs with identical duplicate content issues, even though they are all the home page and the one that is http://www.ccisolutions.com (the preferred URL) has a canonical tag of rel= http://www.ccisolutions.com: http://www.ccisolutions.com http://ccisolutions.com http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/IAFDispatcher?iafAction=showMain I will add that OSE is recognizing that there is a 301-redirect on http://ccisolutions.com, but the duplicate content report doesn't seem to recognize the redirect. Also, every single one of our 404-error pages (we have set up a custom 404 page) is being identified as having duplicate content. The duplicate content on all of them is identical. Where do I even begin sorting this out? Any suggestions on how/why this is happening? Thanks!
