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.

Duplicate content issues with file download links (diff. versions of a downloadable application)
I'm a little unsure how canonicalisation works with this case. 🙂 We have very regular updates to the application which is available as a download on our site. Obviously, with every update the version number of the file being downloaded changes; and along with it, the URL parameter included when people click the 'Download' button on our site. e.g. mysite.com/download/download.php?f=myapp.1.0.1.exe mysite.com/download/download.php?f=myapp.1.0.2.exe mysite.com/download/download.php?f=myapp.1.0.3.exe, etc In the Moz Site Crawl report all of these links are registering as Duplicate Content. There's no content per se on these pages, all they do is trigger a download of the specified file from our servers. Two questions: Are these links actually hurting our ranking/authority/etc? Would adding a canonical tag to the head of mysite.com/download/download.php solve the crawl issues? Would this catch all of the download.php URLs? i.e. Thanks! Jon

Duplicate content nightmare
Hey Moz Community I ran a crawl test, and there is a lot of duplicate content but I cannot work out why. It seems that when I publish a post secondary urls are being created depending on some tags and categories. Or at least, that is what it looks like. I don't know why this is happening, nor do I know if I need to do anything about it. Help? Please.

Port 80 and Duplicate Content
The SEOmoz Web App is showing me that every single URL on one of my clients' domains has a duplicate in the form of the URL + :80. For instance, the app is showing me that www.example.com/default.aspx is duplicated in the form of www.example.com:80/default.aspx Any idea if this is an actual problem or just some kind of reporting error? Any help would be appreciated.

SEOMoz only crawling 5 pages of my website
Hello, I've added a new website to my SEOmoz campaign tool. It only crawls 5 pages of the site. I know the site has way more pages then this and also has a blog. Google shows at least 1000 results indexed. Am I doing something wrong? Could it be that the site is preventing a proper crawl? Thanks Bill
