Duplicate content list by SEOMOZ
-
Hi Friends,
I am seeing lot of duplicate (about 10%) from the crawl report of SEOMOZ.
The report says, "Duplicate Page Content"
But the urls it listed have different title, different url and also different content. I am not sure how to fix this issue..
My site has both Indian cinema news and photo gallery. The problme mainly coming in photo gallery posts.
for example:
this is the main url of a post.
apgossips.com/2012/12/18/telugu-actress-poonam-kaur-photos . But in this post, each image is a link to its enlarged images (default wordpress). The problem is coming with each individual image with in this post.
examples of SEOMOZ report 3 individual urls as duplicate content...from the same above post.:
Some body please advise me.. Appreciate your help.

You can always edit the image in the Wordpress post and then remove the link to the media file. This will prevent those pages from getting crawled from the post page.
If you are rewriting the URL you could install the Yoast SEO plugin and then choose the noindex/follow meta tag for date based archives as shown here:
-
No, I am not indexing archives at all. But the url is customized to include month/dd/yr in the permalink structure.
the issue here is, in a single post of photogallery, each individual photo is getting indexed I guess...
-
Are you using the date based archives? I would stop using those if I were you and assign articles to the appropriate category so your URL's are optimized for SEO.
The reason I'm suggesting this is because the easiest way to solve the problem is to disable indexing on date based archives which will also eliminate the duplicate content on the photo's b/c they are basically date based photo archives.
Let me know,

Thank you James, for the quick response.
I am kind of new to SEO, may I request you how to do the two step you said above?
1. What is the code i need to add in robots.txt?
2. How to remove default media links in wordpress?
I appreciate your response.
thanks,
KS

I prefer to disallow photo archive pages via robots.txt.
I also recommend removing the default link WP inserts to the media image page.

Duplicate content from pagination and categories found in multiple locations
Hey Moz community, Really need help resolving duplicate content issues for an eCommerce utilizing Magento. We have duplicate content issues with category pagination and categories found in multiple locations. here's an example: "www.website.com/style/sequin-dresses" is also found at "www.website.com/features/sequin-dresses" *to resolve this issue do we just need to place a canonical tag on "www.website.com/features/sequin-dresses" pointing to "www.website.com/style/sequin-dresses"? In addition, the category "Sequin Dresses" also has pagination. to resolve duplicate content issues with pagination do we need to implement a rel=next/prev tag? (we do not have a view-all due to the amount of products featured) If anyone has experience with this or any insights on how to resolve these issues please let me know. Thanks!

Double Listing
So what does it take to get a double listing? If someone has already answered this, please just send the link. Obviously lots of anchor text links to both pages. Also, do I link from both pages to each other for google to see the correlation? For example, homepage link to interior page. And interior page link back to homepage using same anchor text that I want to get the double listing for. Thanks in advance!

Home page duplicated content issue
Hi there! The home page of my site can be seen under www.mysitename.com and www.mysitename.com/EN/ or www.mysitename.com/ES/ (depending on your language). I understand that this is duplicated content because they show the same content under different URLs. To solve this we've done (depending on your language) a 301 redirect from www.mysitename.com to www.mysitename.com/EN/ or www.mysitename.com/ES/ Is this correct? Thanks!
