How do I deal with my pages being seen as duplicate content by SeoMoz?
-
My Dashboard is giving my lots of warnings for duplicate content but it all seems to have something to do with the www and the slash /
For example:
http://www.ebow.ie/
is seen as having the same duplicate content as
http:/ebow.ie/
and
http://www.ebow.ie
Alos lots to do with how Wordpress categorizes pages and tags that is driving me bonkers!
Any help appreciated!
Dave.

Brilliant! Thank you

Hello Dave,
It's because both the 'www.ebow.ie' and 'ebow.ie' are indexed. You need to choose either www or non-www version. For example, if you have an htacess file you would do something like:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.ebow.ie/$1 [R=301,L]

Database driven content producing false duplicate content errors
How do I stop the Moz crawler from creating false duplicate content errors. I have yet to submit my website to google crawler because I am waiting to fix all my site optimization issues. Example: contactus.aspx?propid=200, contactus.aspx?propid=201.... these are the same pages but with some old url parameters stuck on them. How do I get Moz and Google not to consider these duplicates. I have looked at http://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content with respect to Rel="canonical" and I think I am just confused. Nick

/category2/subcategory1
/category3/subcategory1 A single subcategory can fit multiple categories, so we have 3 different URL for the same subcategory with the same content (except of the navigation link). Which are the best practice to avoid this issue? Thank you!0 -

Will one line of duplicate content drag down my landing page?
I am using copyscape to check for duplicate content on my landing pages. I found three sites that have the exact same sentence as mine, on a page that I rank well for on one of two key terms related to the product. The sentence is not essential to my product page. Do I risk losing page one rank on a key search term when I remove that sentence on my site, in hopes of possibly improving the page on the second key search term? Do I leave it alone? This is an older "template" site with very little that I can do SEO-wise, and I have managed to get a few key prodcut landing pages on page one of Google. It has seen a drop in rank on many landing pages post-panda, and I'm doing my best to clean up what I can. Do I leave well enough alone for a page one rank on one term, or swap out that sentence in hopes of getting better rank on two keywords?
