Why are these pages considered duplicate page content?
-
A recent crawl diagnostic for a client's website had several new duplicate page content errors.
The problem is, I'm not sure where the error comes from since the content in the webpage is different from one another.
Here's the pages that SEOMOZ reported to have duplicate page content errors:
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/wireless-internet-service-providers-term
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/antivirus-term
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/berkeley-internet-name-domain
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/customer-premises-equipment-term
The only thing similar that I see is the headline which says "Glossary Terms Used in this Site" - I hope that the one sentence is the reason for the error.
Any input is appreciated as I want to find out the best solution for my client's website errors.
Thanks!

Maybe its a sample.
but what i would do,is look at the souce code. there is a huge amount of script and menu content that could posible be removed. you content is almost at the bottom of the page. it looks like about 2% of the page. get rid of the scripts into external files, get rid of the menus and try to get original content up to higher %

I understand what you're saying.
However, there are several hundreds of pages like that which are 1 word definition pages like the 4 ones that I've mentioned above.
Here's one example of a 1 word definition page that did not report any error:
http://www.imaginet.com.ph/local-area-network-definition
Among all those pages, there's only around 14-20 that are getting duplicate page content errors (including the four I mentioned above).
That is why I'm curious to find out the reason why the four above reported duplicate page errors.
Thanks!

Hi John,
Its shows you duplicate pages because, too little difference in search engine readabel text between all this pages.
Like you compare the title and only two words are different. You compare the page content only middle paragraph is different in all other pages.
Try to right different titles and description for all the pages. And Possible Add little bit more content.
I think it will helps a page to be stand as a unique.
Thanks.

Is introducing an article (first 300 words) then linking to the original on another site considered duplication?
I'm trying to figure out why my DA is so very low. Is introducing an article (first 300 words) then linking to the original on another site considered duplication? Here's the deal: I'm a freelance writer and a blogger. I link to the posts I sold from my blog to the website that posted it in the first place. In order to do so, I keep a few images and the first 300 words, which I post on my blog, then link ("In order to read the full article, click here") to the website that posted the whole article. Here's an example: http://www.continentscondiments.com/where-to-eat-in-paris/ Will my domain (continentscondiments.com) be penalized for that behavior?

Is it possible to submit a page to the seomoz index?
We recently got added to dmoz and botw and would like to see those links considered in our domain authority as we are tracking our progress and comparing ourselves to other sites. Is it possible to submit links to the seomoz index manually to have those tracked? (If I am even understanding this correctly)

Seomoz crawling filtered pages
Hi, I just checked an seo campaign we started last week, so I opened seomoz to see the crawl diagnostics. Lot's of duplicate content & duplicate titles showing up, but that's because Rogerbot is crawling all of the filtered pages as well. How do I exclude these pages from being crawled? /product/brand-x/3969?order=brand&sortorder=ASC

Will canonical tag get rid of duplicate page title errors?
I have a directory on my website, paginated in groups of 10. On page 2 of the results, the title tag is the same as the first page, as it is on the 3rd page and so on. This is giving me duplicate page title errors. If i use rel=canonical tags on the subsequent pages and href the first page of my results, will my duplicate page title warnings go away? thanks.
