Is it considered as duplicate content ?
-
Hello,
I see a lot of errors on my webmaster tools because of this ajax code on my questions pages of the site (screen) : www.dismoicomment.fr
The code :
| / ADD ANSWER FORM |
| | $("#answer-add-button").click(function () { |
| | $.ajax({ |
| | type: 'POST', |
| | url: '/answers/quelle-assurance-choisir-pour-un-scooter/', |
| | data: $("form#answer-add").serialize(), |
| | dataType: 'html', |
| | success: function(data) { |
| | |
| | if(data=="answer") { |
| | $('.answer-add-message').show().empty(); |
| | $(document).ready(function() { |
| | $('- Vous avez déjà répondu à cette question.
').appendTo('.answer-add-message'); |
| | }); |I have add a line on my robots.txt : http://www.dismoicomment.fr/robots.txt for remove all urls with /answers/.
These urls with /answers/ aren't indexed in google.
Do you think that it is dangerous and that can be considered as duplicate content ?

Ok thank you,
I believe that my new posts are less well classified because of that...

This should work, I would maybe suggest to change it to */answers/ just in case, maybe even put a * at the end. If it is not crawled nor indexed, it won't count as duplicate content. As far as Google is concerned, it does not exist. If it was crawled, I'd remove it through Webmaster Tools after adjusting the robots.txt and custom crawl it to make sure it works as intended.
If the question was if it was duplicate content: Yes, it would be. Ajax is not being crawled, so Google would just see whatever text is on the website, if any. If you have multiple sites just with Ajax, they will seem the same.

What to do with outdated and irrelevant content on a website?
Hi everyone, On our corporate website we have a blog where we publish articles which are directly related to our company (house heating systems and gas cylinders) and some articles which are completely irrelevant to our core business, but which might be of interest to our potential clients. Recently I've been told that it is not a good idea to include these not directly related posts to our core business, because Google might be somewhat confused at to what our core business is all about. I was advised to research this topic and think of completely removing blog posts that are irrelevant to our core business from our blog. By removing I mean completely removing pages and setting a 410 status to tell Google that it is not a 404 error but that these pages were intentionally removed. I would like to hear some independent advice from Moz community as to what I should do? Thank you very much in advance.

Why should I avoid publishing off-topic content on my website?
As a fun project, my team wanted to build a mini-food blog based off the lunches we make here at our office -- but we're a software company and, topically, our product has nothing to do with food. Therefore, I suggested that we not publish this content on our website + create a Medium publication instead (this would also help us avoid the headache of creating an entirely new section of our website / potential 404 issues from non-technical editors / etc.) However, I struggled to articulate _why _it's a best practice to only publish relevant content on your website. Is it to help search engines understand what your website is about as an entity? Spam signals?

How much should I pay for one hour of content creation work?
Hi I have recently been looking for some new content creators to work with. And I recently asked a blogger that I know of how much he would charge for some content creations. I told him that I'm looking for some good compelling content that is about 400 to 500 words. And he told me that he would charge $180 an hour. I sorta feel like that's a bit to much, but I don't want to jump to conclusions without any advice from you all. I'm very well versed in my SEO and do most of the work for my site. But I think a fresh touch would really be helpful.

Reviving a (very) old blog - is it worth shifting the content onto a new blog?
I look after a few ecommerce sites, one of them doesn't currently have a blog, we are setting up a wordpress blog now for the site. Going way back in time the site did have a blog which was on a separate Typepad domain. What I'm wondering is whether it is worth redirecting this whole blog to the new blog section of the site and copying some of the content over to the new blog as historical posts? I don't think it will be possible to redirect each individual post to a new one so it will just be a straight redirect of the old blog domain to the new one with the same (most of anyway) content. Do you think it is worth doing this for the value of this content which is relevant but dated (many of the links are now expired)? Doing this will take some time to do so it's not 'free' content we'd be getting We have a lot of new content planned out so we won't be short of content, just would be nice to have some historical content on there too Thanks
