Duplicate content - Images & Attachments

[Cocoonfxmedia]

I have been looking a GWT HTML improvements on our new site and I am scratching my head on how to stop some elements of the website showing up as duplicates for Meta Descriptions and Titles.

For example the blog area:

<a id="zip_0-anchor" class="zippedsection_title"></a>This blog is full of information and resources for you to implement; get more traffic, more leads an

/blog//blog/page/2//blog/page/3//blog/page/4//blog/page/6//blog/page/9/The page has rel canonicals on them (using Yoast Wordpress SEO) and I can't see away of stopping the duplicate content.  Can anyone suggest how to combat this? or is there nothing to worry about?

Just got to find out to manage that through wordpress as these are pagination displaying the posts.

if you are looking for somebody to back up what Anthony said I agree 100%. You can also canonical a page that is just a photograph to the original source. However if there is something worth reading you will want to let the crawlers index it.

You can use Yoast in order to know index all page numbers e.g. page1, page2 however you will lose the ability to have them show up in Google's index possibly if they're linked they will still show up.

I would not worry about it if you do want to change it use

like Anthony said no index but definitely **do not nofollow **

All the best,

Tom

You really shouldn't worry about this. GWT or Moz Tools, etc try their best to alert you to possible duplicate content, often times based on pages having duplicate title tags. Not everything listed in those sections is necessarily a problem.

When it comes to the paginated pages above, you may still want to consider implementing something like NoIndex, Follow on those pages.
