Duplicate Content
-
We offer Wellness programs for dogs and cats. A lot of the information is the same except for specifics that relate to young vs. senior pets.
I have these different pages:
Senior Wellness
Kitten Wellness
Puppy Wellness
Adult Wellness
Can each page have approx. 75% of the same text? Or should I rewrite each page so the information (though the same) appears unique.
-
I agree with Stephan's comment regarding making sure that it's pet specific. If you ever get into PPC, you're going to need to do a lot of negative keywords to make sure you're not showing up and paying for people looking for how to keep grandma fit.
-
I try to keep it below 20%.
-
If not already done, I'd also break out the "Adult" and "Senior" pages to be dog and cat specific... "adult dog wellness", "adult cat wellness"... etc.
-
I think 75% same content is okay.
The content should be relevant to the page however.
Ultimately you want your content to be relevant and unique as possible - don't try and make content "appear" unique... make it unique.
-
I would recommend writing each page uniquely. There will naturally be some overlap, but try to minimize it.
One idea, ask for someone else to write the article. A receptionist, a doctor's assistant, a groomer, anyone who meets the "intelligent life form" criteria and is familiar with the subject can write an article. You don't need to publish the article, but you can gather a different viewpoint and writing style.
Depending on your category and site layout, you could vary the titles as well. "Senior Wellness", Kitten Health", "Puppy Well-being", "Adult fitness".

Is this hidden content?
Hi all, I was wondering if the homepage of www.dirtylooks.com has hidden content in a search engines eyes. There is some text which appears underneath a tile called "hair tools" that has to be scrolled in order to be viewed by a visitor. As this isn't the typical white on white or off page by CSS hidden content are we in danger of being penalised?

Duplicate Content on Category Pages
Hi Everyone, I have a few category pages within a category for my eCommerce store and I've recently started writing a short description for each. However a lot of these paragraphs can be replicated for the same category. For instance '1 Inch thickness' I'll show all the information, and it'll be very similar to '2 inch thickness' but obviously one is 1 inch and one is 2 inch so I would only be changing one keyword and that is the thickness. I feel that this is helping customers because it has all the information in each category e.g. how to filter your choices. But it might be duplicate content. What would you recommend?

How do you avoid duplicate content when you sell products that are produced by other manufacturers?
I have a packaging product site, and they sell products from various manufacturers. What can we do with the product detail pages? As of now, the client has copy pasted content straight from the "About" sections on the manufacturers' sites. Obviously, those manufacturers want my client to sell their products, and the products need to be described. How much of a no-no is this copy pasting, and how can I fix it?

Checking for content duplication against content on your own site.
We are currently trying to rewrite our product descriptions and I'm afraid some of the salespeople that are writing the descriptions are plagiarizing one-another's writing. Is there a content duplication checker that will allow you to check a piece of writing against a specific site rather than all of the web?

Duplicate content on homepage?
Hi I have just created a new campaign and it states that I have duplicate page content which would affect search rankings. Basically it is counting my site www.mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com/index.php as two seperate pages. How can I make it so that only www.mydomain.com is visible reducing the duplicate content issue? Many Thanks
