p/s: I am a webmaster of all websites duplicate content
Thank you!

Because of having many URL duplicate contents, so I want to use the robots.txt file to prevent google index the secondary websites to fix the duplicate content issue. Is it ok?
Thanks,

Thanks my friends!
To solve this issuse, I will add canonical tag at website www.vietnametravel.com

In this case insert the canonical tag in the section of page on vietnamtravel.com:

John probably you have two options available!
The simple Option!
You have two website that have similar content that leads to duplicate content issues. Just write another version of the content and make it live on any one of the website so that this issues becomes resolved and both of your website will be able to rank in search engine from your desired key phrases.
The Ground Reality Solution!
In other case you should use cross domain canonical to tell search engine that you main website have the original version of content. This way Google will not consider that as duplicate content and your content on the main website will still be able to rank in search engines for the desired key phrases.
Hope this helps!

hi Gyorgy,
Thank you for your answer. I think I will use the canonical tags for these contents, but not sure for using canonical tags. For example:
- The primary website has a page content http://www.vietnamvisacorp.com/faqs/what-is-process-of-requesting-approval-letter-for-vietnam-visa.html and the secondary website has the same page content http://www.vietnametravel.com/visa/what-is-process-of-requesting-approval-letter-for-vietnam-visa-22.html
So, in this case what should I do?

Hi John
If you want all websites to perform well in organic search, then make each of them unique and don't create duplicate content.
If you want only vietnamvisacorp.com perform well, then add cross domain canonical tags to the duplicate pages on your other websites and mark vietnamvisacorp.com as original. Make sure you set page level canonical URLs and not the homepage (www.vietnamvisacorp.com).

Would you consider this to be thin content
I always struggle with these pages I have on my site going back and forth debating what I want to do with them. On one side Google was content, yet at the same time its all about user experience. http://www.freescrabbledictionary.com/word-lists/words-that-start-with/letter/h/ I used to have all my words listed on one page which could have been well over 10,000. Now I pagination them as you can see. I debate writing a header of content for these pages, but honestly users just want the words. Get in, get what you need and get out. What is the recommendation on these pages. Should I write content? Should I not?

Duplicate content because of member only restrictions on a forum.
Our website's Community Forum links to the membership profile pages, which by default are blocked for non-members. https://www.foodbloggerpro.com/community/ https://www.foodbloggerpro.com/community/member/1301/ We're getting warnings in Moz for duplicate content (and errors) on these member profile pages. Any ideas for how we can creatively solve this problem? Should we redirect those pages or just beef them up with more content? Just ignore it and assume that search spiders will be smart enough to figure it out? See attached video for further explanation. Community_Area.mp4

Content in Tabs
I speed read an article recently and forgot to save it regarding Contents on a page in tabs. Is it correct that now Google is rendering the entire page it's better not to have content in tabs hidden by Javascript? As it stands at the moment, we've got the tabs set-up so that the main part of the page containing the keyword rich text is in a tab and not the first thing presented to the user

Using content for cliche' terms, or content found on other sites
howdy, I have a basic question about using content found on other websites for your own use. I have started a pick up lines website for guys to search for pickup lines to use on girls. Anyways, my website has many, if anything a lot, of the same exact pick up lines as all my competitors are using. If I use the same pick up lines found on their site could i be penalized for this as far as SEO? thanks and hope to hear back
