Is this duplicate content?
-
All the pages have same information but content is little bit different, is this low quality and considered as duplicate content?
I only trying to make services pages for each city, any other way for doing this.

these pages are 99% similar to each other:

If you want a old school strategy like this to work there are no short cuts to creating unique content specifically tailored to that location.

Hi Jordan,
Yes, these are absolutely duplicate content. The vast majority of the text is the same, with some small additions and relevant city names changed. Google has been able to determine this sort of duplication for a long time. You do see some websites get away with this sort of content, but it's generally not something we'd recommend because Panda (and / or manual review) would pick this off as manipulative very quickly.
You would likely be a lot better off creating one page or one section of the website for brain injury rehabilitation in "the north east" with one copy of the relevant information. Additional pages can detail anything in particular about individual clinics, including unique contact information, testimonials, photographs, etc.
I don't believe that this content would come close to passing manual review as they are right now.

EGOL, you da best.

Needs a grammar check too.

Don't do this: "At less than 4 hours away from Baltimore, you’re loved one will never be more than a drive away."
That statement generally means a couple of states away in that region. Also, yes, they are mostly duplicate content with some mild variations. That would generally be considered low quality, but things happen in certain niches. Though the local campaign will more than likely fail.
I'm not a big fan of shipping people with neurological disorders all around the country, unless it is to their benefit.
So, best of luck!

Sites for English speaking countries: Duplicate Content - What to do?
HI, We are planning to launch sites specific to target market (geographic location) but the products and services are similar in all those markets as we sell software.So here's the scenario: Our target markets are all English speaking countries i.e. Britain, USA and India We don't have the option of using ccTLD like .co.uk, co.in etc. How should we handle the content? Because product, its features, industries it caters to and our services are common irrespective of market. Whether we go with sub-directory or sub-domain, the content will be in English. So how should we craft the content? Is writing the unique content for the same product thrice the only option? Regards

Container Page/Content Page Duplicate Content
My client has a container page on their website, they are using SiteFinity, so it is called a "group page", in which individual pages appear and can be scrolled through. When link are followed, they first lead to the group page URL, in which the first content page is shown. However, when navigating through the content pages, the URL changes. When navigating BACK to the first content page, the URL is that for the content page, but it appears to indexers as a duplicate of the group page, that is, the URL that appeared when first linking to the group page. The client updates this on the regular, so I need to find a solution that will allow them to add more pages, the new one always becoming the top page, without requiring extra coding. For instance, I had considered integrating REL=NEXT and REL=PREV, but they aren't going to keep that up to date.

Testing for duplicate content and title tags
Hi there, I have been getting both Duplicate Page content and Duplicate Title content warnings on my crawl diagnostics report for one of my campaigns. I did my research, and implemented the preferred domain setting in Webmaster Tools. This did not resolve the crawl diagnostics warnings, and upon further research I discovered the preferred domain would only be noted by Google and not other bots like Roger. My only issue was that when I ran an SEOmoz crawl test on the same domain, I saw none of the duplicate content or title warnings yet they still appear on my crawl diagnostics report. I have now implemented a fix in my .htaccess file to 301 redirect to the www. domain. I want to check if it's worked, but since the crawl test did not show the issue last time I don't think I can rely on that. Can you help please? Thanks, Claire

Duplicate content by category name change
Hello friends, I have several problems with my website related with duplicate content. When we changed any family name, for example "biodiversidad" to "cajas nido y biodiversidad", it creates a duplicate content because: mydomain.com/biodiversidad and mydomain.com/cajas-nido-y-biodiversidad have the same content. This happens every tame I change the names of the categories or families. To avoid this, the first thing that comes to my mid is a 301 redirect from the old to the new url, but I wonder if this can be done more automatically otherwise, maybe a script? Any suggestion? Thank you

Snippets on every page considered duplicate content?
If I create a page that pulls a 10 snippets of information from various external site, would that content be considered duplicate content? If I link to the source, would it be recommended to use a "nofollow" tag?
