Question about duplicate images used within a single site

[LeeAbrahamson]

I understand that using duplicate images across many websites was become an increasingly important duplicate content issue to be aware of.

We have a couple dozen geotargeted landing pages on our site that are designed to promote our services to residents from various locations in our area.

We've created 400+ word pieces of fresh, original content for each page, some of which talks about the specific region in some detail.

However, we have a powerful list of top reasons to choose us that we'd like to use on each page as is, without rewriting them for each page.

We'd like to simply present this bulleted list as an image file on each page to get around any duplicate written copy concerns.

This image would not appear on any other websites but would appear on about two dozen landing pages for a single site.

Is there anything to worry about this strategy from a duplicate content or duplicate image perspective in terms of SEO?

I can see how dupe images it might be an issue if you rely on image search for traffic but likely not in your case.  On the other hand, 400 pages with the exact same image...? That is a lot.  It seems that you might help yourself if you alter each image with a little copy specific to the page you've put it on and tailor the alt tags so that they're aligned with the image and the geo data for it's specific page.

How did you come to understand that. I have never heard any official news of that except from this Roy guy.

I don't think having the bulleted list on every page is a problem. I think if there is enough unique text on each page, that should outweigh the bulleted list.

You might be better off just trying to come up with a few variations of those top reason in your bulleted list... Mix up the words a little, use synonyms, restructure them differently in each page as much as possible, etc.

If you are wondering about images though, try http://wordle.net/ for creating unique images. This probably doesn't apply to your situation right now though.
