Duplicat contents on wordpress
-
I ran a crawl error and found that I have many pages with "tag"
i.e. http://www.soobumimphotography.com/tag/70-200-2-8-is/
What's the best way to deal with this problems?
Is it worth to visit all of them and fix? Delete?
Could you give me some suggestions?

Hi,
I had the same issue. After setting up SEO MOZ, fixing about 400 problems, on the next crawl (after installing wordpress and transfering all our old news items across for our blog) we had about 1,000 problems with duplicate pages (most blog pages were duplicated 50 times!!!.I've installed Yoast, had a quick go through (looks good), I think I've got it sorted
I'll check again after the next crawl and see if it works and report back.
It's interesting how this question is also asked in the Wordpress forums with no responses or silly comments about SEOMOZ being rubbish and not understanding how Wordpress works (or what not).

Thank you Streamline and Roque for answering!
In most standard cases, noindexing tags is what I advise. You can refer to two documents;

You likely have two because of the theme you're using. Noindex both tag sections.
-
Looks like there's two tags section
Should I noindex both of them?
Now sure why they have two tags and two categories.
Thanks again

Hi again! Nope. You need to browse to the titles and metas section, then taxonomies. You will find the option there, and mark no index follow. Volia!!
-
Yoast plugin is already installed.
So should I go to each of the pages and no follow?
-
The wordpress SEO by yoast has a feature to no index/ no follow (or both) tag pages.
Install the plugin and just mark those pages with a no index tag.
Ill add a screen capture but doing some search you will find lots of advanced tutorials to go deep with the plugin. Is worth to spend some time with because its really good!
Good luck!

I would suggest installing WordPress SEO by Yoast. It allows you to choose which pages you want to index. I usually index Categories and block Tags, but you can try one or the other.

Duplicate Content - Pricing Plan tables
Hey guys, We're faced with a problem that we want to solve. We're working on the designs for a few pages for a drag & drop email builder we're currently working on, and we will be having the same pricing table on several pages (much like Moz does). We're worried that Google will take this as duplicate content and not be very fond of it. Any ideas about how we could integrate the same flow without potentially harming ranking efforts? And NO, re-writing the content for each table is not an option. It would do nothing but confuse the heck out of our clients. 😄 Thanks everybody!

PDF's - Dupe Content
Hi I have some pdfs linked to from a page with little content. Hence thinking best to extract the copy from the pdf and have on-page as body text, and the pdf will still be linked too. Will this count as dupe content ? Or is it best to use a pdf plugin so page opens pdf automatically and hence gives page content that way ? Cheers Dan

Duplicate content from category pages?
I have an ecommerce store with different categories for my products. Some products do appear in more than one category, is that an issue even if you end up on the same product page/link? Also, I have a "show all products" category, which I believe creates duplicate content too? What is your take on this? What can I do to solve this? Is it even an issue of duplicate content? All answers are very much appreciated!

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.

Percentage of duplicate content allowable
Can you have ANY duplicate content on a page or will the page get penalized by Google? For example if you used a paragraph of Wikipedia content for a definition/description of a medical term, but wrapped it in unique content is that OK or will that land you in the Google / Panda doghouse? If some level of duplicate content is allowable, is there a general rule of thumb ratio unique-to-duplicate content? thanks!
