Cloud Hosting and Duplicate content
-
Hi
I have an ecommerce client who has all their images cloud hosted (amazon CDN) to speed up site. Somehow it seems maybe because the pinned the images on pinterest but the CDN got indexed and there now seems to be about 50% of the site duplicated (about 2500 pages eg: http://d2rf6flfy1l.cloudfront.net..)
Is this a problem with duplicate content? How come Moz doesnt show it up as crawl errors? Why is thisnot a problem that loads of people have?I only found a couple of mentions of such a prob when I googled it..
any suggestion will be grateful!

you can set up a CNAME record to be used with CloudFront on copyfaxes.com. It could be something like images.copyfaxes.com if you are only using cloudFront to serve images.
I serve all my media content and scripts via WPEngine's CDN and use a CNAME to suggest all the content resides on my subdomain
eg: cdn.bestpremiumthemes.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Input-Form-Designs-100x65.png

Hi there,
Cloudfront really should be blocking Google's indexing of its hosted contact - have you contacted the company about this? I am not familiar with their service, but content hosted to deliver to sites like yours should not be available for indexation, especially since the problem is rather large: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fd2rf6flf4rky1l.cloudfront%2F&oq=http%3A%2F%2Fd2rf6flf4rky1l.cloudfront%2F&aqs=chrome..69i58j69i57.677j0j4&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=91&ie=UTF-8

Thanks for your answer - moz told me they don't pick it up because they only pick up duplicate content within the same url.
My issue is I have my site url http://copyfaxes.com and my CDN which is http://d2rf6flf4rky1l.cloudfront. net which is identical. Is this a problem?
(I think it got indexed through pinterest)
Any help would really be appreciated!

Hi Henya,
CDNs do not cause problems with duplicate content, duplicate content issues if they come are usually sourced from something other than CDNs. As result this is possibly why MOZ is not picking it up.
CDNs serve content from different locations TRUE, however it is accessed via the SAME domain/URL. In other words one URL can be coming from different CDN/cloud servers, but since its that same identical URL, no duplicate content issues arise.
Hope this helps!

URL Mixed Cases and Duplicate Content
Hi There, I have a question for you. I am working on a website where by typing any letter of the URL in lower or upper case, it will give a 200 code. Examples www.examples.com/page1/product www.examples.com/paGe1/Product www.examples.com/PagE1/prOdUcT www.examples.com/pAge1/proODUCt and so on… Although I cannot find evidence of backlinks pointing to my page with mixed cases, shall I redirect or rel=canonical all the possible combination of the cases to a lower version of them in order to prevent duplicate content? And if so, do you have any advice on how to complete such a massive job? Thanks a lot

Duplicate page/Title content - Where?
Hi, I have just run a crawl on a new clients site, and there is several 'duplicate page content' and 'Duplicate Page Title'' issues. But I cannot find any duplicate content. And to make matters worse. The actual report has confused me. Just for example the about us page is showing in both reports and for both under 'Other URLs' it is showing 1? Why? Does this mean there is 1 other page with duplicate page title? or duplicate page content? Where are the pages that have the duplicate page titles, or duplicate page content? I have run scans using other software and a copyscape scan. And apart from missing page titles, I cannot find any page that has duplicate titles or content. I can find % percentages of pages with similar/same page titles/content. But this is only partial and contextually correct. So I understand that SEO Moz may pick percentage of content, which is fine, and therefore note that there is duplicate content/page titles. But I cannot seem to figure out where I would the source of the duplicate content/page titles. As there is only 1 listed in both reports for 'Other URLs' Hopefully my long question, has not confused. many thanks in advance for any help

Magento Multistore and Duplicate Content
Hey all, I am currently optimizing a Magento Multistore running with two store views (one per language). Now when I switch from one language to another the urls shows: mydomain.de/.../examplepage.html?___store=german&___from_store=english The same page can also be reached by just entering mydomain.de/.../examplepage.html The question is: Does Google consider this as Duplicate Content or it it nothing to worry about? Or should I just do a dynamic 301 redirect from the 1st version to the 2nd? I read about some hacks posted in diferent magento forums but as I am working for a customer I want to avoid hacks. Also setting "Add Store Code to Urls" didn't help.

Duplicate content with same URL?
SEOmoz is saying that I have duplicate content on: http://www.XXXX.com/content.asp?ID=ID http://www.XXXX.com/CONTENT.ASP?ID=ID The only difference I see in the URL is that the "content.asp" is capitalized in the second URL. Should I be worried about this or is this an issue with the SEOmoz crawl? Thanks for any help. Mike

Cloud Hosting + CDN worth it?
Hi, Never used cloud hosting before. Found a service for $60-70 a month, just want to give it a try on a new website. They also have an additional CDN feature for additional $40 a month. It promises great results as well as google's love. Does cloud hosting+cdn worth it's money? Website will have around 500 visitors a day, but all will be ppc, so there is no need for a server. but reliability is a great issue Thanks, Serge

Duplicate page content errors in SEOmoz
Hi everyone, we just launched this new site and I just ran it through SEOmoz and I got a bunch of duplicate page content errors. Here's one example -- it says these 3 are duplicate content: http://www.alicealan.com/collection/alexa-black-3inch http://www.alicealan.com/collection/alexa-camel-3inch http://www.alicealan.com/collection/alexa-gray-3inch You'll see from the pages that the titles, images and small pieces of the copy are all unique -- but there is some copy that is the same (after all, these are pretty much the same shoe, just a different color). So, why am I getting this error and is there any best way to address? Thanks so much!

Question about duplicate content within my site
Hi. New here to SEOmoz and also somewhat new to SEO in general. A friend has asked me to help do some onsite SEO for their company's website. The company uses Drupal Content Management System. They have a couple product pages that contain a tabbed section for features, accessories, etc. When they built their tabs, they used a Drupal module called Quicktabs, by which each individual tab is created as a separate page and then pulled into the tabs from those pages. So, in essence, you now have instances of repeated content. 1) the page used to create the tab, and 2) the tab that displays on the product page. My question is, how should I handle the pages that were used to create the tabs? Should I make them NOINDEX? Thank you for your advice in advance.
