Moving Some Content From Page A to Page B
-
Page A has written content, pictures, videos.
The written content from Page A is being moved to Page B. When Google crawls the pages next time around will Page B receive the content credit? Will there not be any issues that this content originally belonged to Page A?
Page A is not a page I want to rank for (just have great pictures and videos for users). Can I 301 redirect from Page A to B since the written content from A has been deleted or no need? Again, I intent to keep Page A live because good value for users to see pictures and videos.

but as long as I have a lot of great pictures indexed by Google wouldn't it be a waste to noindex such pages, even though I do not care about ranking for those pages? In other words, if I have "noindex, follow" wouldn't that mean Google will not count all the pictures on such pages and that could ultimately hurt more important pages on my site? I want to move these pictures to other page where the pictures do not load before users scroll. I will share with my web developers what you mentioned above. If you can think what the javascript is please do keep me posted

If you don't really need to discover new pages, then it is better to use just "noindex".
-
You can solve the page speed issues using CDN for the images and using scripts that upload images only when needed, as saying when people is scrolling down and the image must appear (sorry I cannot remember the name of that Javascript right now :(( )
-
The bigger issue is I would like to add pictures to Page B (delete from Page A) but that would make Page B too heavy loading. So, I wanted to create it so pictures (if moved to Page B) only loads if users scroll down the page. However, in this way I cant get Google to index all those pictures. Or, is there a way to have pictures only load after users scroll, yet all pictures are indexed by Google?

Gianluca, thx. Question: Page A's written content is now on page B. Page A has lots of great pictures and I imagine Google seeing I have a lot of pages with pictures (just like Page A) it would make sense to keep indexed even though I do not expect any traffic from search. Since the written content is no longer on Page A, am I not guaranteed Page B will receive the SEO credit for the written content when Google crawls again? Or, are you implying I need to place a noindex on Page A in order to increase chance Page B gets the SEO credit since the content originally was placed o Page A (though it ia no longer there, so no duplicate content here).
-
Just add the following to the top of your video page, as Gianluca suggested. However I would make it NOINDEX, FOLLOW.
-
If Page A is there just for the users during navigation on-site, but you don't care of having it ranking and you fear to fall into duplicated content issues, then why don't you simply noindex it via meta robots?
-
You mention in your title "some content" and then on your text that you move a whole page. Are you moving the whole content? if so what is the point moving it to a new page and not optimising the old page around the additional content?
If you move "some content" 301 is not the best solution as you eliminate the original page with the other half content.
If you move page A to page B and page B has already its own content with Page A content being a nice complimentary addition to the whole then do what Whittie says and set a 301.Good luck!
-
If you have no longer need for Page A, as the content will now be on Page B then a 301 redirect will / should take across any 'link juice'.
Take a look at this; http://moz.com/learn/seo/redirectionIf you need Page A & B, is there a different URL you could use?

How do I prevent duplicate page title errors from being generated by my multiple shop pages?
Our e-commerce shop has numerous pages within the main shop page. Users navigate through the shop via typical pagination. So while there may be 6 pages of products it's all still under the main shop page. Moz keeps flagging my shop pages as having duplicate titles (ie shop page 2). But they're all the same page. Users aren't loading unique pages each time they go to the next page of products and they aren't pages I can edit. I'm not sure how to prevent this issue from popping up on my reports.

Joomla creating duplicate pages, then the duplicate page's canonical points to itself - help!
Using Joomla, every time I create an article a subsequent duplicate page is create, such as: /latest-news/218-image-stabilization-task-used-to-develop-robot-brain-interface and /component/content/article?id=218:image-stabilization-task-used-to-develop-robot-brain-interface The latter being the duplicate. This wouldn't be too much of a problem, but the canonical tag on the duplicate is pointing to itself.. creating mayhem in Moz and Webmaster tools. We have hundreds of duplicates across our website and I'm very concerned with the impact this is having on our SEO! I've tried plugins such as sh404SEF and Styleware extensions, however to no avail. Can anyone help or know of any plugins to fix the canonicals?

How do I fix issue regarding near duplicate pages on website associated to city OR local pages?
I am working on one e-commerce website where we have added 300+ pages to target different local cities in USA. We have added quite different paragraphs on 100+ pages to remove internal duplicate issue and save our website from Panda penalty. You can visit following page to know more about it. And, We have added unique paragraphs on few pages. But, I have big concerns with other elements which are available on page like Banner Gallery, Front Banner, Tool and few other attributes which are commonly available on each pages exclude 4 to 5 sentence paragraph. I have compiled one XML sitemap with all local pages and submitted to Google webmaster tools since 1st June 2013. But, I can see only 1 indexed page by Google on Google webmaster tools. http://www.bannerbuzz.com/local http://www.bannerbuzz.com/local/US/Alabama/Vinyl-Banners http://www.bannerbuzz.com/local/MO/Kansas-City/Vinyl-Banners and so on... Can anyone suggest me best solution for it?

Duplicate Page content / Rel=Cannonical
My SEO Moz crawl is showing duplicate content on my site. What is showing up are two articles I submitted to Submit your article (article submission service). I put their code in to my pages i.e. " <noscript><b>This article will only display in JavaScript enabled browsers.</b></noscript> " So do I need to delete these blog posts since they are showing up as dup content? I am having a difficult time understanding rel=cannonical. Isn't this for dup content on within one site? So I could not use rel="cannonical" in this instance? What is the best way to feature an article or press release written for another site, but that you want your clients to see? Rewritting seem ridiculous for a small business like ours. Can we just present the link? Thank you.

If a permanent redirect is supposed to transfer SEO from the old page to the new page, why has my domain authority been impacted?
For example, we redirected our old domain to a new one (leaving no duplicate content on the old domain) and saw a 40% decrease in domain authority. Isn't a permanent redirect supposed to transfer link authority to the place it is redirecting to? Did I do something wrong?

We are still seeing duplicate content on SEOmoz even though we have marked those pages as "noindex, follow." Any ideas why?
We have many pages on our website that have been set to "no index, follow." However, SEOmoz is indexing them as duplicate content. Why is that?
