How to check for Duplicate Content Locally
-
Hi All,
Scenario
I have Instant Wordpress installed on my local machine.
I am in the process of redesigning my website; content, articles, etc.
I have internet access on my local machine.Question
I would like to cross check all internal links/pages against each other for duplicate content.
I would also like to check all internal pages against external www page instances for duplicate content.How can I achieve the following.
Thanks Mark

For external pages, copyscape should be sufficient.
For internal content, I would launch it noindexed on a test server (use meta robots and robots.txt) and run a Moz campaign crawl on it. That should be able to tell you whether any content is duplicated within the site without the content getting indexed.

I second Jonathan on copyscape -- it is a great tool to check for external duplicate content and the Copysentry feature is fairly good when combined with other checking methods.
To check for internal duplicate content, check out http://www.siteliner.com/ They are new, but it has been helpful each time I have tried it (and free).

Try copyscape.com. You can specific text by using Copyscape Premium, or protect your site (automatic checking) by using Copysentry.

I personally use Copyscape Premium for checking stuff and it is pretty good. It is 5c per search, so very cheap.

Counting up local reviews
Mozzers, Does anyone know of a tool that can count up the number of local reviews a business has and compare them against another business? Google Places has the number of reviews at the bottom of each place page but it never fully reflects the true count of reviews each business has. Thanks!

Is it valuable for a local business to build links into its Google Place?
G'Day All, Almost all of my clients are geo-based small service-based businesses. I've noticed during my research that the google places for our competitors in 3 separate niches (3 different clients) seem to be the dominating results for almost all relevant keyword terms. I'm curious to see if anyone has actively tried to increase the ranking of a google place by building links into it. Is this something that anyone else sees value to for a local small business? I would love to get some thoughts. And for that matter I'm also curious to see if anyone thinks there might be value to optimizing a Facebook Fan Page or Yelp Business page. They all seem to be key drivers of traffic our client websites so I'm wondering how difficult it is to make them rank as opposed to a website. Thanks!
