Internal Duplicate Content Question...
-
We are looking for an internal duplicate content checker that is capable of crawling a site that has over 300,000 pages. We have looked over Moz's duplicate content tool and it seems like it is somewhat limited in how deep it crawls. Are there any suggestions on the best "internal" duplicate content checker that crawls deep in a site?

If you want to a free test to crawl use this
https://www.deepcrawl.com/forms/free-crawl-report/
Please remember that URIs & URLs are different so your site with 300,000 URLs might have 600,000 URIs if you want to see how it works for free you can sign up for a free crawl for your first 10,000 pages.
I am not affiliated with the company aside from being a very happy customer.

Far no way the Best is going to be deep Crawl it automatically connects to Google Webmaster tools and analytics.
it can crawl constantly for ever. The real advantage is setting it to five URLs per second and depending on the speed of your server it will do it consistently I would not go over five pages per second. Make sure that you pick a dynamic IP structuring if you do not have a strong web application firewall if you do pick a single static IP then you can crawl the entire tire site without issue by white listing it. Now this is my personal opinion and I know what you're asking to be accomplished in the literally no time compared to other systems using deep crawl deepcrawl.com
It will show you what duplicate content is contained inside your website duplicate URLs what duplicate title tags you name it.

You have a decent sized website and I would recommend adding a free edition of Robotto.org Robotto, can detect whether a preferredwww or non-www option has been configured correctly.
A lot of issues with web application firewall and CDNs you name it can be detected using the school and the combination of them is a real one-two punch. I honestly think that you will be happy with this tool. I have had issues with anything local like screaming frog when crawling surcharge websites you do not want to depend on your desktop ram. I hope you will let me know if this is a good solution for you I know that it works very very well and it will not stop crawling until it finds everything. Your site will be finished before 24 hours are done.

Correct, Thomas. We are not looking to restructure the site at this time but we are looking for a program that will crawl 300,000 plus pages and let us know which internal pages are duplicated.

If the tool has to crawl more than a crawl depth of 100 it is very common to find something that's able to do it. Like a said deep crawl, screaming frog & Moz is but you're talking about finding content that shouldn't be restructured.

If you looking for the most powerful tool for crawling websites deepcrawl.com is the king. Screaming frog it Is good but is dependent on RAM on your desktop. And does not have as many features as deep crawl

Check out Siteliner. I've never tried it with a site that big, personally. But it's free, so worth a shot to see what you can get out of it.

Benefit of internal link in content
Hi, Is there a real benefit to having internal links in content other than at the bottom of a page for example and not surrounded by content. Would the benefit be 1 to 10 or 1 to 1.5 ? Thank you,

Will we be penalised for duplicate content on a sub-domain?
Hi there, I run a WordPress blog and I use [community platform] Discourse for commenting. When we publish a post to Wordpress, a duplicate of that post is pushed to a topic on Discourse, which is on a sub-domain. Eg: The original post and the duplicated post. Will we be penalised for duplicating our own content on a subdomain? If so, other than using an excerpt, what are our options? Thanks!

Duplicating content from manufacturer for client site and using canonical reference.
We manage content for many clients in the same industry, and many of them wish to keep their customers on their individualized websites (understandably). In order to do this, we have duplicated content in part from the manufacturers' pages for several "models" on the client's sites. We have put in a Canonical reference at the start of the content directing back to the manufacturer's page where we duplicated some of the content. We have only done a handful of pages while we figure out the canonical reference potential issue. So, my questions are: Is this necessary? Does this hurt, help or not do anything SEO-wise for our ranking of the site? Thanks!

Tools to scan entire site for duplicate content?
HI guys, Just wondering if anyone knows of any tools to scan a site for duplicate content (with other sites on the web). Looking to quickly identify product pages containing duplicate content/duplicate product descriptions for E-commerce based websites. I know copy scape can which can check up to 10,000 pages in a single operation with Batch Search. But just wondering if there is anything else on the market i should consider looking at? Cheers, Chris

Thin Content to Quality Content
How should i modify content from thin to high quality content. Somehow i realized that my pages where targetted keywords didn't had the keyword density lost a massive ranking after the last update whereas all pages which had the keyword density are ranking good. But my concern is all pages which are ranking good had all the keyword in a single statement like. Get ABC pens, ABC pencils, ABC colors, etc. at the end of a 300 word content describing ABC. Whereas the pages which dropped the rankings had a single keyword repeated just twice in a 500 word article. Can this be the reason for a massive drop. Should i add the single statement like the one which is there on pages ranking good? Is it good to add just a single line once the page is indexed or do i need to get a fresh content once again along with a sentence of keyword i mentioned above?

Ticket Industry E-commerce Duplicate Content Question
Hey everyone, How goes it? I've got a bunch of duplicate content issues flagged in my Moz report and I can't figure out why. We're a ticketing site and the pages that are causing the duplicate content are for events that we no longer offer tickets to, but that we will eventually offer tickets to again. Check these examples out: http://www.charged.fm/mlb-all-star-game-tickets http://www.charged.fm/fiba-world-championship-tickets I realize the content is thin and that these pages basically the same, but I understood that since the Title tags are different that they shouldn't appear to the Goog as duplicate content. Could anyone offer me some insight or solutions to this? Should they be noindexed while the events aren't active? Thanks

Does having a page that ends with ? cause duplicate content?
I am working on a site that has lots of dynamic parameters. So lets say we have www.example.com/page?parameter=1 When the page has no parameters you can still end up at www.example.com/page? Should I redirect this to www.example.com/page/ ? Im not sure if Google ignores this, or if these pages need to be dealt with. Thanks

Need help with duplicate content. Same content; different locations.
We have 2 sites that will have duplicate content (e.g., one company that sells the same products under two different brand names for legal reasons). The two companies are in different geographical areas, but the client will put the same content on each page because they're the same product. What is the best way to handle this? Thanks a lot.
