Dynamic contents causes duplicate pages
-
Technical help required - please!
In our Duplicate Content Pages Report I see a lot of duplicate pages that are created by one URL plus several versions of the same page with the dynamic content, for example,
http://www.georgebrown.ca/immigranteducation/programs
http://www.georgebrown.ca/school-program.aspx?id=1909&Sortid=Study
http://www.georgebrown.ca/school-program.aspx?id=1909&Sortid=Term
http://www.georgebrown.ca/school-program.aspx?id=1909&Sortid=Certification
http://www.georgebrown.ca/school-program.aspx?id=1909&Sortid=TitleHow do we solve it?

Ektron CMS. Yah, will have to go with the noindex somehow.
-
I don't know which CMS/framework you use but it's unlikely you can set canonical at template level.
-
Oh!!! Just now realized a different problem with canonical.
The same template is used with different URLs, for example, http://www.georgebrown.ca/immigranteducation/programs/ is the same template as http://www.georgebrown.ca/liberalarts/programs/, just with a different set of programs. We have 22 schools, each page creates 4 versions of itself (depending on the ordering of the programs).
So there is no way to program ONE url on the template level. Do I understand that correct?
-
Moz doesn't pick, just signal the duplicate content. If you add the canonical Moz should understand and un flag it as duplicate.
-
1. I think I will go with a canonical tag.
2. I believe noindex will not work as this is a template used in multiple page.3. Done that, but then MOZ reports them as duplicate content, which drives me crazy
4. Done that too. But don't know how to tell MOZ
-
- You can just add a canonical tag to signal google which version is the one to index.
- Or add meta "noidex"to the versions you do not want to be indexed.
- Or just do nothing and let google pick his preferred version for its index.
- Or you can teach google what those url parameter do and instruct him to do not index those versions.
I would programmatically add meta noindex.

How to remove 404 pages wordpress
I used the crawl tool and it return a 404 error for several pages that I no longer have published in Wordpress. They must still be on the server somewhere? Do you know how to remove them? I think they are not a file on the server like an html file since Wordpress uses databases? I figure that getting rid of the 404 errors will improve SEO is this correct? Thanks, David

Are there tools to discover duplicate content issues with the other websites?
We have issues with users copy-pasting content from other sources into our site. The only way I know to find out, is to manually (!!) copy a snippet of their text into google, to see if I get results from other sites. I have been googling for tools to help automate this process, but without luck. Can you recommend any?

Keyword Stuffing - MOZ On-Page Grader
We sell a great number of insulation products, many of which are produced by individual manufacturers. On the page identified below the Keyword "Kingspan" is repeated numerous times as these items are included in our online shop. However, the many mentions of Kingspan are recorded in the HTML5 Source Code, rather than an external database. When I used the MOZ On-Page Grader, using the keywords "Kingspan" I was surprised to achieve an "A" Grade! I know I shouldn't be complaining, but I am wondering why the significant repetition of the word "Kingspan" has not negatively impacted my score? http://www.just-insulation.com/001-eshop/buy-kingspan-thermapitch-thermawall-thermafloor-insulation-boards.html

Since July 1, we've had a HUGE jump in errors on our weekly crawl. We don't think anything has changed on our website. Has MOZ changed something that would account for a large leap in duplicate content and duplicate title errors?
Our error report went from 1,900 to 18,000 in one swoop, starting right around the first of July. The errors are duplicate content and duplicate title, as if it does not see our 301 redirects. Any insights?

How do OpensiteExplorer handle HTTPS pages?
For historical reason my entire site (https://www.banknorwegian.no ) is in )HTTPS. I am trying to use opensiteexplorer to get a linkprofile. But then I only get the links that point to www.banknorwegian.no (without https://) . Is it possible to use it for https pages? Also, I assume some of the same problem arise when I use the keyword difficulty tool. The pages I have show up in the result, but they have a Page Authority that has to be made from just links to the http version.
