SEOMoz mistaking image pages as duplicate content
-
I'm getting duplicate content errors, but it's for pages with high-res images on them. Each page has a different, high-res image on it. But SEOMoz keeps telling me it's duplicate content, even though the images are different (and named different).
Is this something I can ignore or will Google see it the same way too?

I have heard people caim they can not, but i know they can, i dont know that they do, but i know they can.
in uni we learnt how you can send code in images by altering pixels and how to detect if the image has changed and conctains code. Each image is just a long code. its a simple check sum

I'm having the same issues with the SEOMoz crawler.. but with a gallery featuring 15 thumbnails for each page. I'm wondering if Google is also seeing all of the gallery pages as duplicate content... The site that hosts the gallery was hit by the 2nd Panda update. The gallery is a small section of the site.. the rest has unique articles.

@Alan - The images are not same as mentioned in the question.
I don't think search engines can detect duplicate images http://images.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1024&bih=572&q=shailendra+sial&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=

Are they the same image? as it is posible for SE's to tell if they are.
i would put a caption for each image if posible to help differentuate. also a unique alt tag.

I believe you can ignore it. My guess is that since these pages have no textual content, therefore all these pages are being treated as duplicate content pages.
Duplicate pages - Two or more pages having same content. In case they do not have content, they will still be treated as duplicate as both of them have nothing.

Minimum amount of content for Ecommerce pages?
Hi Guys, Currently optimizing my e-commerce store which currently has around 100 words of content on average for each category page. Based on this study by Backlinko the more content the better: http://backlinko.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02_Content-Total-Word-Count_line.png Would you say this is true for e-commerce pages, for example, a page like this: http://www.theiconic.com.au/yoga-pants/ What benefits would you receive with adding more content? Is it basically more content, leads to more potential long-tail opportunity and more organic traffic? Assuming the content is solid and not built just for SEO reasons. Cheers.

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?

Internal Duplicate Pages causing dip in rankings
Hi Guys, Need help in understanding whether having duplicate pages on your site push you down in rankings. Our all product pages getting indexed by Google with different parameters i.e. filters, affiliate id, utm_source etc. and then we have 10-15 duplicate for one product page. I am observing dip in rankings whenever Google starts indexing these duplicate but when I asked this question to John Muller and other Google team they said if you set up canonical then you don't have to worry about having different urls for same page but we are not ranking on Google and if we do then we dropped from page 1 to page 2 or sometimes page 3. Example - http://goo.gl/G5p3X5 Any suggestions.

Duplicate page content errors stemming from CMS
Hello! We've recently relaunched (and completely restructured) our website. All looks well except for some duplicate content issues. Our internal CMS (custom) adds a /content/ to each page. Our development team has also set-up URLs to work without /content/. Is there a way I can tell Google that these are the same pages. I looked into the parameters tool, but that seemed more in-line with ecommerce and the like. Am I missing anything else?

Content Landing Page
Hey Mozzers, I wanted to get some opinions on here. I'm going to be building out the content on my site a lot of the next couple of months, and have recently started thinking about creating a content landing page. For those not familiar with the concept it's the idea of building this page that basically just pulls together all the content you've written on a specific subject & serves as hopefully a link magnet & destination for people interested in the topic. So my question is this, I am just outlining all of the different posts & areas that I want to cover on specific topics & it is a lot. I'm talking ~20 posts on each subject. Do you think that would be too much content to try & get on one page? Should I break it down to a more finite 5-7 links to high quality articles per page, or create basically this monster guide that links to all these different articles I'll create. Looking forward to getting your opinion, Chris

Odd duplicate page notification (I think)...
Hi! In looking at my site's crawl diagnostics, I came across 2 pages that were flagged as duplicate content. I can't quite figure out why. The only difference in the URLS is an uppercase '"B" vs a lowercase "b" following the "~". Here are the URLS: lowercase b example:
