Seomoz is showing duplicate page content for my wordpress blog
-
Hi Everyone,
My seomoz crawl diagnostics is indicating that I have duplicate content issues in the wordpress blog section of my site located at: http://www.cleversplash.com/blog/
What is the best strategy to deal with this?
Is there a plugin that can resolve this?
I really appreciate your help guys.

Thanks Ryan!

One common source of this problem is the tag, category, and author pages. I include these links in my blog because they're useful to site visitors, but I make sure to link them as NOFOLLOW to avoid the content duplication problems they can cause.
EDIT: I use the All in one SEO plugin for this. There are checkboxes to add NoIndex to those page types.

Question on Pagination - /blog/ vs /blog/?page=1
Question on Pagination Because we could have /blog/ or /blog/?page=1 as page one would this be the correct way to markup the difference between these two URL? The first page of a sequence could start with either one of these URLs. Clarity around what to do on this first page would be helpful. Example… Would this be the correct way to do this as these two URLs would have the exact content? Internal links would likely link to /blog/ so signal could be muddy. URL: https://www.somedomain.com/blog/

<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.somedomain.com/blog/?page=1"> URL: https://www.somedomain.com/blog/?page=1
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.somedomain.com/blog/?page=1"> Google is now saying to just use the canonical to the correct paginated URL with page number. You can read that here:
https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/ecommerce/pagination-and-incremental-page-loading But they do not clarify what to do on /blog/?page=1 vs /blog/ as they are the exact same thing. Thanks for your help.0 -
