Duplicate content on report

[mtthompsons]

Hi,

I just had my Moz Campaign scan 10K pages out of which 2K were duplicate content and URL's are

http://www.Somesite.com/modal/register?destination=question%2F37201

http://www.Somesite.com/modal/register?destination=question%2F37490

And the title for all 2K is "Register"

How can i deal with this as all my pages have the register link and login and when done it comes back to the same page where we left and that it actually not duplicate but we need to deal with it propely

thanks

You can noindex them but in my opinion and experience small things like that are not worth the trouble. I suggest moving on and working on something that is more impactful to the site. Messing around with something that has little consequence is not worth it...especially if you might ruin something if you don't know what you are doing.

Thanks

In my case how can i deal with it and have the Moz and Google not detect them as duplicates?

What should i add and my site is Drupal

You can use the canonical tag if you are having too many duplicate URLs.

As for the crawl, you shouldn't look at it as if you don't do this or that, your site will not be ranking well. These things do happen and every site will have issues like that. No one has a perfect 5k page site without some sort of error. The crawl is giving you suggestions and you should choose which ones are more detriment to your rankings.

Smaller errors and things like duplicate pages are normal within a website, and the bottom line is sometimes you have no choice as it might mess with your site's usability.
